Is your website ready for AI agents?
Compass Desktop crawls your site the way an AI assistant would, by choosing links, completing realistic user tasks. It shows you where agents get through, and where they get stuck. Free to download, free to run, unlimited audits.
We’ll email you the download link — and only use your email for product updates and feedback. No spam, no marketing list.
Crawlers map URLs. Agents complete tasks.
Traditional SEO tools tell you whether a page can be reached. Compass tells you whether an AI agent can actually get there, understand it, and use it to answer a real question.
Unlimited free version
Unlimited audits. Bring your own LLM provider and run as much as you like.
Guided audits
Enter a URL, pick tasks from our 171-task library of common tasks (expanded constantly!) and run. Audits use realistic intents: find the privacy policy, locate pricing, contact the team.
AI readiness score
One score (0–100) built from three dimensions: Coverage (is the content available), Accessibility (are agents allowed in), Navigation (can they find their way). Failures grouped by cause.
Live run view
Per-task progress with outcomes, steps, and scores as they happen. Watch the audit unfold in real time.
Prioritised recommendations
Impact-rated issues with concrete fixes: broken navigation for agents, robots.txt / AI-agent blocking, pages agents can’t reach, and where they get stuck.
AI Access report
Which AI user-agents — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and more — can reach your site. Preflight verdicts plus robots.txt analysis.
Your keys, your models
Run audits through Anthropic, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (connections for ollama and llama-swap baked in). No account needed — audit data never leaves your machine except to the provider you chose.
Also included
- Task drill-in — the exact path the agent took, the link candidates it scored, and why
- Journeys — first-link choices from the homepage, sink pages, per-task navigation paths
- Issues browser — deduplicated findings by severity and category
- One-click export to JSON, CSV, or HTML
- History — every past audit, searchable, with score tracking
- Dark mode and JS-rendered crawling (Playwright) with a static-mode fallback
Get started in 3 minutes
Download, add a provider, run your first audit. No account, no signup, no card.
Download
Grab the DMG and drag Compass to Applications. It’s signed and notarised by Apple — opens with a normal double-click, no Gatekeeper right-click dance.
Add a provider
In Settings, paste an API key (Anthropic / OpenAI / custom endpoint) or point at a local Ollama / llama-swap server. Free audits use your own key — we never see it.
Run an audit
Enter a URL, choose tasks (or a full standard set), press Run. Watch it live, then read the score and recommendations. Export the report in Excel and AI-friendly structured JSON.

Four teams, one dataset
Compass turns the same AI navigation audit into answers for different disciplines.
UX Research
Map how users actually navigate your site — at scale. Run 171 navigation tasks automatically and see where tasks complete, loop, or fail.
UX Research
The problem
Traditional UX research is expensive and small-sample. You can’t manually test every task on every page for every user segment.
What Compass measures
A Compass audit found “Find pricing” completed in 2 steps, while “Cancel subscription” needed 7 clicks and a support form. That’s the kind of insight a survey won’t give you.
Accessibility
The problem
Automated accessibility scanners test individual pages. They don’t tell you whether a screen-reader user can actually find a button from the homepage.
What Compass measures
A page can pass axe but still be six navigation steps from the homepage with no semantic link labels. Compass finds the journeys WCAG can’t see.
Conversion Optimisation
The problem
Analytics shows the symptom: drop-off at step 3. Compass shows the cause: a dead-end link, missing nav path, or CTA hidden behind a hover state.
What Compass measures
“Find the returns policy” failed on 3 of 5 e-commerce sites — the policy was buried under a hover-only mega-menu. Fixing the navigation took 2 hours. No A/B test needed.
Technical SEO
The problem
A page can be indexed, canonicalised, and technically perfect — but if an AI agent can’t navigate to it, it’s invisible to the users who matter.
What Compass measures
Compass complements Screaming Frog and Search Console by answering not “Can this page be reached?” but “Can an AI agent complete a task starting from the homepage?”
Questions, answered
Does my data leave my machine?
Pages are fetched by your machine, and history is stored locally. The only calls that leave are the LLM requests to the provider you chose — never to us.
Does it work on big JS-heavy sites?
Yes — a full browser engine is bundled in the app, so JS rendering works out of the box with nothing extra to download. There’s also a static-mode fallback for sites that don’t need it.
What does an audit cost me?
Whatever your LLM provider charges per run — typically pence on cheap models. Run fully local models and it’s free.
