Cloudflare added two tools to its dashboard on August 6: Agent Readiness, a technical audit of how well AI crawlers and agents can discover and read a site, and Answer Engine Optimization, which tracks citation rate, citation prominence, brand mention rate, and share of voice by querying AI models with realistic customer prompts. Agent Readiness is live now; AEO is in early access.

Why it matters: It's the network-layer vendor with the most crawler traffic data now selling AI-visibility measurement directly from the dashboard, joining a field the IAB flagged this month as fragmented enough to need disclosure standards.
