The outcome: a self-serve acquisition + revenue channel where the customer is an autonomous agent. An AI agent discovers BotVisibility through standard agent-readable manifests, hits a metered free tier, and then pays per scan in USDC on Solana to pull the full report — no signup, no API key, no checkout page, no human in the loop. Humans still scan free in the browser; agents pay per call. It’s a distribution + monetization motion built entirely for machine customers.
BotVisibility scans any URL for “AI agent readiness” (58 checks across 5 levels — is your site discoverable, usable, and purchasable by agents). The GTM build is the layer that makes the scanner itself agent-discoverable and agent-payable:
Distribution (the new SEO): llms.txt, /.well-known/
agent-card.json,
ai.json,
mcp.json, a live MCP server, an RFC 9727 API catalog, and an OpenAPI spec — so an agent crawling the web finds the product and learns it has a paid endpoint.
Free tier + metering: the public /api/scan is free up to a daily allowance, metered per-caller in Turso. Over the allowance it returns HTTP 402 pointing at the paid gateway.
The paid rail: an x402 / pay.sh gateway on Solana mainnet. The agent’s wallet settles $0.10 USDC (gasless — the gateway is the fee payer), the gateway verifies on-chain and proxies to the upstream, and the agent gets the deep report as JSON.
What I’ll show live (real money, on stage):
An agent (the pay CLI) hits the gateway → gets the real 402 x402 challenge → settles USDC on Solana → gets the deep report back. One command.
The on-chain proof: the payment-receipt response header + the settlement tx on Solscan (recipient balance +$0.10).
The metering flip: the Turso counter incrementing per scan, then the 402 kicking in past the free allowance.
Architecture + data flow: discovery manifests → free metered API → 402 → pay.sh gateway → upstream → report.
BotVisibility audits websites for AI-agent readiness using 51 automated checks.

- SolanaSolana is a high-performance, single-state blockchain designed for fast, low-cost decentralized applications and global payments at scale.Engineered for speed and cost-efficiency, Solana bypasses traditional layer-2 scaling bottlenecks by utilizing a unique Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus mechanism. This architecture allows the network to process thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality and average transaction fees under a fraction of a cent. By maintaining a single, globally synchronized state, Solana enables developers to build highly scalable decentralized applications (dApps) and payment systems without the complexity of sharding or fragmented liquidity.
- USDCUSDC is a fully-reserved, regulated stablecoin: a digital dollar issued by Circle, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, enabling 24/7 global liquidity.USDC (USD Coin) is a key financial technology: a digital dollar stablecoin issued by Circle and backed 1:1 by highly liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets. This regulated digital currency is designed for stability, providing a reliable on-ramp to the crypto economy while maintaining the value of the US dollar. Its architecture, built on open protocols and natively available across over 30 blockchain networks (including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon), facilitates near-instant, low-cost, and accessible global payments and trading. Circle ensures transparency with monthly reserve attestations published by a Big Four accounting firm, cementing USDC's role as a trusted, institutional-grade instrument for digital finance.
- TursoA distributed, edge-hosted database built on libSQL that scales SQLite to global applications and multi-tenant architectures.Turso brings the simplicity and low latency of SQLite to production cloud environments. Built on libSQL (an open-source fork of SQLite), the platform allows developers to run databases in-process, on-device, or replicated globally across dozens of locations. By decoupling storage and compute, Turso supports massive multi-tenancy (enabling users to spin up thousands of isolated database instances on a single account) while offering built-in vector search and microsecond-level local reads via embedded replicas.
- payGoogle Pay API is an integration toolkit that lets merchants accept secure, tokenized payments from hundreds of millions of users with a single click.Google Pay API streamlines the checkout flow by letting customers use credit and debit cards securely stored in their Google Accounts. Built to drop into existing processing stacks (including Stripe, Adyen, and Braintree), it handles the heavy lifting of tokenization and encryption without additional transaction fees. Integration is straightforward: developers load the JavaScript library, define supported card networks (like Visa and Mastercard), and receive a secure payment token to pass directly to their gateway. By replacing manual form entry with a native, autofilled payment sheet, the API routinely cuts checkout times by up to 50% and dramatically reduces cart abandonment rates.
- FlyFly.io transforms Docker containers into micro-VMs running on bare metal in 30+ regions globally.Fly.io bypasses traditional cloud complexity by deploying application code directly to the edge. The platform converts OCI images into Firecracker micro-VMs, placing compute physically close to users to minimize latency. Developers manage global fleets via the flyctl CLI, leveraging Anycast IPs for routing and private WireGuard networks for secure inter-service communication. Whether scaling a Phoenix app in Tokyo or a Postgres cluster in Amsterdam, Fly handles the hardware orchestration so teams can focus on shipping features.
