The Discovery Flow

Every site in the LLM Disco Network carries an AI Discovery Page that links to the central directory. When a crawler reaches any single node, it follows the links and discovers the entire network.

AI Crawler
  -> sitea.com/ai-discovery
  -> llmdisco.com (master sitemap)
  -> ai.siteb.com
  -> ai.sitec.com
  -> ...

1. Crawler reaches any member site -- discovers the AI Discovery Page through robots.txt or normal crawling
2. AI Discovery Page links to the network -- the page points to llmdisco.com, the site's AI subdomain, and its llm-index.json
3. Crawler follows links to LLM Disco -- finds the master sitemap containing every member site in the network
4. Entire network is discovered -- one entry point leads to hundreds of AI-optimized sites
