We ran the Can Bots scan across every company website in each Y Combinator batch to see how well AI agents and LLMs can read them. Pick 2–5 batches and compare what the machines see.
Average score across every scanned company in each batch, as a share of that dimension's max. Longer is better.
How each batch breaks down by letter grade. Most company sites still flunk the agent test — the question is who has fewer F's.
The highest-scoring companies in each selected batch — the sites already built for an agent-first web.
The Can Bots scan checks whether a crawler can fetch your pages, read your structure, understand your content, and find machine-readable signals. A passing score means a bot can see you.
It can't tell you whether an agent can actually use your product — sign up, complete a flow, or get a real answer. That takes a human-style task run, which is a different test entirely.
The short version: passing the scan gets you into the room. It doesn't mean the agent can do anything useful once it's there.
