Capabilities

Tools 20

assistant_destinations

Where the assistants send people in a city: the league table of destinations (the businesses' own sites, each marketplace and directory by name, press and guides, other sites) with the share of answers that link each one, per assistant and overall, and the headline shares (direct, marketplace, the top marketplace). Pages: https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/assistants and https://directindex.org/assistants for every city.

Discovered
assistant_recommendations

The places ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini name in a city when asked the way people ask ('best pizza delivered right now', 'book me a table for Saturday'): per question, the places named, which assistant named each, whether with a link to the place's own site, and the direct booking or ordering link where the place has one. Pages: https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/recommended and /recommended/{question}.

Discovered
city_changes

What changed in a city index over the last days: findings fixed or new, grades up or down, AI crawlers turned away or let in, direct booking or ordering channels and vendors gained or lost, and assistants that changed their answer about a business. Each change links the business's report. Also a page (https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/changes), an Atom feed (/changes.xml) and JSON (/api/city/{slug}/changes?days=30).

Discovered
city_facts

What a city index's websites say, compared with every index of the same kind: the share of listed businesses with no web address, only a social profile or their own site; the share of sites that turn an AI crawler away, publish a readable menu, take bookings or orders directly or grade A or B; the share that declare an English version, show prices, link to WhatsApp, show an old copyright year or load a consent manager; the middle visible price and the page weight. Each with its base, rank and medians. Page: https://directindex.org/city/{slug}#sites and https://directindex.org/stats.

Discovered
city_leaderboard

Businesses in a city index ranked by Agent-Direct Score, with grade, menu format, direct channel and whether AI crawlers are blocked.

Discovered
compare_cities

Two city indexes side by side: business websites scanned, the share that take a booking or an order on their own site, the share that turn an AI crawler away, the share scoring A or B, grades, menus, channels, builders, vendors, the assistants' direct share where probed, and the month-by-month numbers. Takes index slugs or city names (lisbon, Porto, berlin-cafes-bars). Page: https://directindex.org/compare/{a}/{b}.

Discovered
country_summary

A country's indexes added together (ISO code, for example PT or DE): sites scanned, direct share, crawler-blocked share, A-or-B share, the cities with their numbers, the kinds, the vendors common in the country. Without a code: every country with an index. Pages: https://directindex.org/country/{code} and /countries.

Discovered
direct_record

The direct record of a business: the booking, ordering and menu links an agent should use instead of a marketplace, where each leads (the business's own site or a named vendor), whether and when a browser verified it, the hours (OpenStreetMap form and schema.org, with open_now), phone, address, the assistants' latest verdicts, how often agents read and followed it this month, the score, and the source and date of every fact. Corrected by the owner where the business is claimed. Also GET https://directindex.org/api/direct/{domain}.

Discovered
find_direct_places

Places in a city that take a booking or an order on their own website, best Agent-Direct Scores first, with the direct booking or ordering link for each (the owner's corrected link where the business is claimed), the vendor behind it, verified_at when a browser reached the step before confirming, the vendor's terms for agents when noted, the hours, and follow links (https://directindex.org/go/{domain}/book, /order, /menu) that count. Use it to recommend places a person can book or order from directly, without a marketplace. Optional query: a cuisine, a dish or a few words, for example pizza, sushi, vegan, francesinha. Optional filters: lat, lon and radius_m for places near a point; open_now for places open at this moment in the city's zone (unknown hours stay in, marked null); verified_only for links a browser verified; vendor for one booking or ordering vendor (slug as on https://directindex.org/vendors). The same lists exist as pages at https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/direct, /direct/book, /direct/order and /direct/{want}; the full record of one place is available by domain.

Discovered
get_deep_report

Status of a deep report order by its token, and the finished report itself as Markdown once it is done (every answer in full, the table of where answers sent people, the nearest similar places, the fix plan and the kit).

Discovered
get_site_report

Return the latest Agent-Direct report for a domain that has already been scanned, including findings, fixes and agent-discoverability checks.

Discovered
list_cities

List the city indexes that exist, with counts and status.

Discovered
menu_prices

What things cost on restaurant menus in a city: the middle price, and the middle half of prices, of an espresso, a cappuccino, a beer, a glass of wine, a margherita, a burger, a main course, a lunch offer, a cola and a bottle of still water, read from the menus on restaurants', cafes' and bars' own websites, with the number of menus behind each figure, the day they were read and how many prices a hand check found right. Covers 13 European cities so far (Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Milan, Lisbon, Vienna and others); without a city it lists them. Figures are menu prices, not what a bill comes to.

Discovered
order_deep_report

Order the paid deep report (5 EUR, one-off) for a business in a city index: ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are asked ten questions about it the way people ask, every answer is kept in full with where it sent people, plus the nearest similar places, the fix plan with the kit to paste, what an agent reads on the site, a page and a PDF. Returns the order token and a Stripe checkout link for the person to pay (nothing is charged until they do); the report is written in about fifteen minutes after payment and also emailed, and its status and text can be read by the token.

Discovered
rankings

Every city index of a kind ranked on three measures with its sample size and date: direct share (a booking or ordering path on the business's own domain), crawler-open share (not turned away at the edge) and A-or-B share. Indexes with fewer than 100 scanned sites are listed unranked, and those with fewer than four in five of their own websites scanned are listed as partly scanned. Page: https://directindex.org/rankings?kind=.

Discovered
scan_website

Scan a business website and return its Agent-Direct Score (0 to 100), grade, findings and fixes. Reuses a scan under 24 hours old; otherwise runs one, which takes 10 to 40 seconds.

Discovered
search_places

Find businesses in the city indexes by name (within a city) or domain (from any city), filtered by city, kind, grade, builder, booking or ordering vendor and finding (for example menu_pdf, edge_blocks, no_structured, booking_marketplace). Fifty results a page, best Agent-Direct Scores first, each with its report link. Free, no contacts. Page: https://directindex.org/search.

Discovered
vendor_report

A booking or ordering vendor across the index: software on the vendor's domain or a marketplace, booking or ordering, how many sites use it, their average score and A or B share, how the browser action test went on them, the cities, example sites, and the vendor's terms for agents when a note exists. Vendor slugs as on https://directindex.org/vendors (zenchef, sevenrooms, thefork, toast ...).

Discovered
vendor_terms

Whether a booking or ordering vendor's terms let an AI agent book or order through it: allowed, partners only, banned, or not stated; with the vendor's own page and the date the terms were read. Without a vendor: every researched vendor. Use it before sending a person to book or order through a vendor on an agent's behalf.

Discovered
what_assistants_say

What ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini answer about one business: the latest verdict per question (official website, where to book, where to order: own site, vendor, marketplace, directory, no link), the answers quoted, the questions people ask for which the business was named, and one sentence on why an assistant sent people elsewhere. For businesses in a city index that have been asked about; see the report at https://directindex.org/r/{domain}.
