Michael Schmitt

Michael Schmitt describes itself simply: "Software Developer based in Illinos who makes Serial Reader and other silly things. Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, Java, MongoDB, and more." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.7 out of 10.

The page falls short on a heading structure that lays out what it offers, a clearly stated business identity, the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt, structured data describing the business, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it and it comes up on Reddit. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and there is little discussion of it. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business and there is no press coverage to draw on.

AI crawlers have visited 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). There is not much on the page to read either, about 57 words. The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
