AI-Optimized Content

Content Negotiation (Recommended)

All pages support AI-optimized markdown via HTTP content negotiation. Request any page with "Accept: text/markdown" header to receive structured markdown instead of HTML.

How to access: curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://alloia.ai/ curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://alloia.ai/en/pricing curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://alloia.ai/geo/perspective

Benefits:

• Same URLs for humans and AI (no duplicate content)
• RESTful best practice
• Automatic detection for known AI bots (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, etc.)

AI Resume Index

Central directory of all AI-optimized pages:

• https://alloia.ai/ai-index (human-readable HTML)
