Amazon just told AI agents to get out.
Walmart opened the door.
That one split is going to decide which websites make money for the next 5 years.
Here's what happened 👇
On Oct 15 Grok Bot users started hitting this message on Amazon:
"Continued access by an unauthorized AI agent violates Amazon's Conditions of Use."
Elon's answer:
"Just ask Grok to buy what you want someplace else."
Then: "Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon."
Meanwhile Walmart launched Agent Gateway so AI agents can shop there.
Read that again.
Agents are already buying things.
They just go wherever the checkout works.
So the real question isn't Amazon vs Musk.
It's this:
Can an AI agent actually use YOUR website?
For most sites the answer is no.
A free tool called Dedica just tested 115,752 business websites the way ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini use them.
Only 6% scored 70 or above.
It runs 125 checks across 4 areas:
→ Discovery: can an agent find you
→ Access: does your site let it in
→ Usability: can it read pricing and fill your forms
→ Payments: can it actually check out
The usual killers:
→ a bot check that blocks agents at sign up
→ pricing that stays empty until JavaScript loads
→ buttons and fields with no labels
→ popups that cover the whole page
And it matters right now.
A September study found agent ready businesses got recommended 1.9x more often.
The score is free, takes under a minute, no signup.
Run your site. Then paste this into Claude Code 👇
You are fixing my website so AI shopping agents can use it.
1. Read my site and list every page an agent needs: product, pricing, signup, contact, checkout.
2. Make sure prices, product names and availability are in plain HTML, not loaded only by JavaScript.
3. Add http://schema.org Product and Offer markup to every product page.
4. Give every button, link and form field a clear text label.
5. Check robots.txt and any bot protection so legit AI agents are not blocked from browsing.
6. Add an llms.txt file describing what my site sells and where to find it.
7. Remove or delay any popup that covers the page on load.
8. Show me a before and after checklist of every fix.
The stores agents can use will win.
The ones that block them are betting the agents come back.
They won't.
