Algorithms to Live By

Algorithms to Live By is a business whose own site puts it this way: "A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.3 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure. It is passable on basic crawler access and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and structured data describing the business.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it and people discuss it in places AI engines read. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on and it does not come up on Reddit. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.

AI crawlers have visited 3 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Applebot (Siri). The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
