/nerds: for dev nerds

Under the
Hood

For dev nerds who think view source is a trust signal.

Server-rendered HTML, JSON-LD, crawler access and llms.txt. A practical guide to making website content easier for AI systems to retrieve and verify, with prompts you can use on your own site. Plus RAG, QLoRA and the deployment decisions behind enterprise AI.

// what agents see

Give AI tools clear paths to your content.

Start with useful content in server-rendered HTML. Add matching JSON-LD and supporting resources such as /llms.txt and per-page markdown. llms.txt is a community proposal for tools that support it; actual retrieval depends on the system and task.

Search indexing, training crawls and user-triggered retrieval have different purposes. OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot and PerplexityBot serve search; GPTBot and ClaudeBot collect potential training data. Inspect access and results separately.

Run these prompts. See what breaks.

Use a browsing-enabled AI tool to check your own public website. Ask for the URLs it actually retrieved and the evidence behind each finding. Enter your domain below to personalise the prompts.

One prompt. Evidence to inspect.

Use a tool with web access. The six areas below organise observations, open questions and repeatable checks.

// what to look for

The six checks.

01

Identity

Check the company name, legal entity, location and contact against the sources retrieved.

02

Services

Ground specific offers and intended customers in visible page content.

03

Differentiation

Check distinguishing features against concrete descriptions and examples.

04

Structure

Validate relevant JSON-LD; assess llms.txt as a supplementary index.

05

Access

Inspect initial HTML. Check search and training rules and actual HTTP responses separately.

06

Trust

Check accountable people, contact routes and linked company information.

# AI Websites: BlackAI Websites## What this service doesWe make company websites readable,understandable, and citable by AI agents.## Two stages- **Stage 1: AI-Readable** - enhance existing- **Stage 2: AI-Optimized** - build from scratch## Technical components- llms.txt (site-wide index)- Per-page markdown files- FAQPage JSON-LD schema- AI bot rules in robots.txt- Server-rendered HTML

// honest assessment

You can do some of this yourself.

Start with the initial HTML, accurate structured data and deliberate crawler rules. Add a maintained markdown index where useful. Larger integrations bring access control, data quality and evaluation into the design.

01DIY

llms.txt

Optional markdown index linking to useful content. Adoption depends on the tool.

02DIY

robots.txt

Set search and training policies deliberately. Check wildcard rules, CDN and firewall access too.

03DIY

JSON-LD Schema

Use Organization, Service and other relevant types that match visible content.

04DIY

Server-rendered HTML

Deliver key content in the initial HTML. Verify SSR or static generation directly.

05We do this

AI-First Architecture

Clear URLs, consistent content, semantic HTML and verifiable sources.

06We do this

Enterprise Integration

Plan retrieval, model adaptation, access control and evaluation around the use case.

// fine-tuning pipeline

How we train on your data.

RAG retrieves source passages at answer time. Fine-tuning adapts model behaviour using training examples. QLoRA trains low-rank adapters while keeping the quantised base model frozen. The examples below illustrate the separate workflows; model choice and settings follow evaluation.

yaml

# Illustrative workflowRAG:  extract and clean authorised documents  chunk and embed for retrieval  index with document access permissions  retrieve authorised passages per request  generate answers with source referencesQLoRA:  curate task-specific input/output examples  split train/evaluation by source document  freeze the quantised base model  train low-rank adapters  evaluate on held-out tasks  deploy the base model with adapters
01

Ingest

Prepare authorised documents for retrieval and curated input/output examples for training. Hold out evaluation data by source.

02

Train

Train low-rank adapters over a frozen quantised model. Compare task performance against the base model on held-out examples.

03

Deploy

Select a compatible serving runtime. Verify adapter support, export compatibility, permissions and monitoring before deployment.

// data sovereignty

Three decisions. Written into the project.

Agree deployment boundaries, data use and handover before implementation. These examples show the decisions to document.

01

Define the deployment

# Deployment plan
region: "agreed_per_project"
providers: "documented"
access: "least_privilege"

Specify storage regions, model providers, data flows, access rights and encryption for the actual deployment.

02

Separate client data

# Data scope
training_data: "client_authorised"
retrieval: "permission_scoped"
evaluation: "held_out"

Use authorised training data and enforce retrieval permissions per request. Evaluate answer quality and access separation.

03

Agree the handover

# Handover
code_and_config: "agreed_deliverables"
adapters: "agreed_deliverables"
base_model: "upstream_license"

Agree code, configuration and adapter deliverables. Base models retain their upstream licences; export formats depend on the model and serving runtime.
