Published Year: 2025

This toolkit outlines two main strategies to improve how AI systems interpret digital content.

It recommends using machine-readable file formats like HTML, Markdown, or CSV instead of scanned PDFs or images, which often require unreliable optical character recognition. Also, it encourages optimizing content design through plain language, semantically tagged headings, bullet points, glossaries, and metadata such as publication dates. These approaches not only help AI tools better process information but also enhance accessibility for human readers, including those using assistive technologies.
