AI Discovery Framework (ADF)
The AI Discovery Framework is an open ecosystem for helping websites become discoverable, understandable, and citable by AI systems. It defines machine-readable formats, discovery files, and integration patterns maintained and published by AigeoRadar.
Why ADF exists
HTML pages contain navigation, footers, ads, and layout noise that make AI parsing expensive and ambiguous. ADF provides a structured layer — sidecar manifests, site-level discovery files, and entity graphs — so AI systems can answer: what is this page about, who published it, what claims does it make, and is it current?
