You have no website. Here is how an AI assistant finds you anyway.
Short answer
An assistant can only recommend what it can read, and an Instagram profile is close to unreadable to one. Tunnel builds the machine-readable record you never had — what you sell, where you are, when you are open, how to reach you — hosts it at a permanent URL, and serves it from the same endpoints a crawled website gets. You do not build or maintain anything. The free tier covers one business.
You don't need a website to be found
Plenty of good businesses sell entirely through Instagram, TikTok or a phone number. To an AI assistant those are close to invisible — there is nothing crawlable to read, so you never make it into the answer.
Tunnel builds and hosts the machine-readable record for you. It is the same listing a crawled website gets, minus the website.
You send us where you already are
An Instagram handle, a TikTok, a Facebook page, a phone number. That is enough to start.
We build the record you never had
What you sell, where you are, when you are open, how to reach you — written once, in the formats assistants read.
It lives at a real address
Your listing gets its own permanent URL and machine-readable endpoints. No site to build, nothing to maintain.
What the record actually contains
The same fields a crawled website produces, gathered from you once instead of scraped from pages you do not have.
Who you are
Trading name, what kind of business this is, the city and address if you have a physical one, the languages you serve.
What you sell
Your products or services in plain sentences, plus a pricing table if you give us prices. Written to be quoted, not to be scrolled.
When and where
Opening hours, delivery area, whether you take walk-ins. The questions assistants are asked most often about a local business.
How to reach you
Your public channels, and an agent-messaging address that keeps your phone number private.
Which channels you have proved
A social profile you have proved you control is marked as proved. One you have only claimed is not. The record says which.
The machine-readable serialisations
llms.txt, JSON-LD, an FAQ marked up as FAQPage, a knowledge page, a quotable answer block, and a sitemap listing them.
Where it lives, and who can read it
A record nobody can fetch is a document, not a listing. Yours gets an address and appears in the places an agent looks.
A permanent URL of its own
Your listing is a real page at a stable address. You can put it in a bio, on a card, in a message — the same way you would a website.
The knowledge-base index and search
Every listing is enumerated in a public index and reachable by name or topic through a search endpoint, without a key.
An MCP server
Any assistant or custom agent that speaks Model Context Protocol can search the index and read your record as a tool call.
Crawlers that do not run JavaScript
Everything above is served as plain text or JSON. There is no client-side rendering for a crawler to fail at.
What this does not do
It does not create demand. Being readable is a precondition for being recommended, not a substitute for being worth recommending.
It does not put you into an answer. No assistant is obliged to retrieve your record, and we cannot make one. What we can do is remove every technical reason not to, and then measure what each assistant actually says about you.
It does not replace your social accounts. Keep posting. The record is the machine-readable copy of facts your Instagram states in pictures.
It does not answer for you. When an agent messages your business, a person still has to reply.
Questions people ask about this
Can I really be listed with no website at all?
Yes. An Instagram handle, a TikTok, a Facebook page or a phone number is enough to start. We build the record from what you tell us and host it ourselves. There is no site to build and nothing on your side to maintain.
What if I get a website later?
Point us at it and the record starts being generated from your crawled pages instead of from the form. The URL of your listing does not change, so anything already linking to it keeps working.
Does the free tier cover this?
Yes. The free tier covers one business, runs the full pipeline, and has no card and no expiry. That includes the hosted record, the six endpoints, the daily visibility check and the automated channel checks.
How do you know the information is true if there is no website to check it against?
For the most part we do not, and the record does not pretend otherwise. What we can prove automatically is that you control the channels the record points at — a token in your public social bio, a code sent to your listed inbox. Two of those proofs are required before the record is marked as automatically verified, and they are re-checked on a schedule. Identity and whether the service is real are only established when a person checks them, which happens on paid plans.
Will an assistant recommend me over a competitor with a big website?
We cannot promise that and would not believe anyone who did. Retrieval and ranking happen inside systems we do not control. What being readable changes is that you become a candidate at all, in cases where previously there was nothing about you to retrieve.
