# Beacon

> Beacon is the structured presence layer for AI discovery. It turns your website into one canonical source of truth that both humans and AI agents can read clearly — beautiful pages for visitors, and clean machine-readable surfaces for Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and every agent that comes next. Beacon is a product by Sightbox.

This site practices what it sells: the canonical source of truth for this page lives at /beacon.json, and the surfaces below are derived from it.

## What Beacon is

- [Make your company legible to AI agents](https://sightbox.co/beacon/): The structured presence layer. Write content once in one canonical place; Beacon generates two synchronized outputs — clean human pages and clean machine surfaces — natively on your own domain.
- [The problem](https://sightbox.co/beacon/#problem): Agents read your site before humans do. Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity discover, evaluate, and recommend companies long before a person opens a tab.
- [The solution](https://sightbox.co/beacon/#solution): One structured layer, two audiences — human pages and machine surfaces, kept in sync.
- [How it works](https://sightbox.co/beacon/#how): Four moves — curated content foundation, automatic markdown + llms.txt, native domain integration, and agents that read clearly.

## Narrative (read in depth)

The Beacon agent view at /beacon/llm carries the full, expanded narrative — the part that is uniquely Sightbox.

- [The Problem](https://sightbox.co/beacon/llm/narrative/problem): Agents read your site before humans do, and a misread compounds into every answer that follows.
- [The Solution](https://sightbox.co/beacon/llm/narrative/solution): One canonical source of truth generates two synchronized surfaces — human pages and machine surfaces.
- [How It Works](https://sightbox.co/beacon/llm/narrative/how-it-works): Four moves — curated content foundation, automatic markdown + llms.txt, native domain integration, agents read clearly.
- [Live Proof](https://sightbox.co/beacon/llm/narrative/proof): What an agent finds on a Beacon surface, and how the X-Beacon-Proxy header makes it verifiable.
- [The Diagnostic](https://sightbox.co/beacon/llm/narrative/diagnostic): 3 categories, 6 real checks, levels 0–4 — every point traces to a re-runnable test.
- [The Practice](https://sightbox.co/beacon/llm/narrative/practice): Narrative architecture, Vision for venture® extended to vision for agents, and the Beacon/Loop/Pilot family.
