Dedica: Can AI Agents Actually Use Your Website?

Dedica launched on Product Hunt on October 27, 2026, and finished the day at #1. The pitch is a blunt one: your site may look fine to humans and still be unusable to the agents now browsing, comparing, and signing up on people's behalf. Enter a domain, and Dedica runs 125 checks the way agents like Muse, Instinct, and GrokBot use a site, then gives you a score out of 100 and the fixes that move it most — free, in under a minute, with no signup. The paid part is a $30 one-time fix kit per site. This page separates what Dedica actually does from what its marketing numbers claim.

Last updated: October 29, 2026. Facts checked against Dedica's official homepage (getdedica.com) and the maker's Product Hunt launch post (published October 27, 2026, updated October 28, 2026); the 6% readiness and 1.9x recommendation figures are Dedica's own claims, not independently verified measurements, and are marked as such below.

At a Glance

Why This Exists: The Silent Failure

The maker built Dedica after watching an agent try to sign a team up for a SaaS tool. It found the pricing page, got an empty page because the plans only loaded with JavaScript, then hit a bot check on sign-up and gave up. The agent did not report an error to anyone. It just told the user it could not do that. That is the failure mode Dedica is built around: not a crash you can see in your logs, but a quiet abandonment that looks, from your side, like a visitor who simply never arrived.

That story is also a useful diagnostic order. If you run one audit this week, check in this sequence: can an agent fetch your pricing page and see actual prices in the raw HTML, can it reach your sign-up form without a bot challenge, and can it find a machine-readable description of what you sell. Those three checks cover the most common silent failures, with or without Dedica.

What the 125 Checks Cover

Dedica groups its checks into four areas. Discovery: can agents find your site and its key pages at all. Access: can they get past security layers and actually read the content, or do bot checks and JavaScript-only rendering stop them. Usability: can they read pricing, forms, and sign-up flows well enough to act. Payments: can they complete the purchase path. Each finding is ranked by estimated score gain, so the report tells you what to fix first rather than handing you a wall of warnings.

Dedica's own sample report (a demo site, acme.com, not a real customer result) shows the shape of the output: 42 fixable issues, led by a bot check blocking agents at sign-up (estimated gain +6.2), a pricing page that needs JavaScript to load (+4.6), no published OpenAPI spec (+4.2), and no MCP server (+4.1). Treat the gains as Dedica's internal weighting, not measured conversion lift — the value is the ordering, not the decimals.

How It Works: Scan, Fix, Rescan

1. Scan your site. Enter your domain. The score is free and takes under a minute, with no signup. 2. Hand over the fix kit. If you buy it ($30 one-time per site at launch price), each issue becomes one instruction file — what to change and how to check it worked — to give to a developer or paste into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Copilot. 3. Scan again. Rescan once the change ships and watch each check pass. The loop matters more than any single score: agent behavior changes as new agents and bot rules appear, so a one-time audit decays.

Dedica vs an AI Visibility Checker: Different Questions

It is easy to confuse Dedica with AI visibility tools, because both talk about agents and scores. They measure different things. A visibility checker asks whether AI assistants mention, cite, or recommend your site. Dedica asks whether an agent that already wants to use your site can finish the job. A site can be widely cited and still fail Dedica: the agent arrives, finds an empty JavaScript pricing page, and leaves. Conversely, a perfectly agent-usable site that nobody writes about will not be recommended more — usability is a floor, not a promotion. If you only fix one side, fix usability first when you already get agent traffic, and visibility first when agents never arrive at all.

The Honest Caveats

Three things to keep straight. First, the headline numbers on Dedica's homepage — only 6% of business websites ready, and ready businesses recommended 1.9x more often — are Dedica's own claims with footnotes whose sources are not published on the homepage; do not quote them as industry statistics. Second, the score measures machine-readability and task completion, not revenue: a 90 does not promise more signups, only fewer silent failures. Third, the fix kit's instruction files are a starting point for your developer or coding agent, not a guarantee — bot-check rules in particular need care, because letting verified agents through while keeping abuse out is a security decision, not just a score tweak.
