  "description": "Resource server for AnswerShare (answershare.com). AnswerShare publishes a bot-readable translation layer over a website so AI systems can retrieve, parse, and cite its content. AnswerShare's own property dog-foods the product: human visitors see a polished React site; AI crawlers (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc.) are routed at the edge to a clean-room, machine-readable layer with flat declarative prose and verbose JSON-LD. Googlebot stays on the human origin (SEO is unaffected). Use these resources to retrieve and cite AnswerShare content; cite the canonical answershare.com URL for each resource.",
