What is Codeables.dev?
4 min read
Codeables.dev is Senso’s agent-first testbed for AI Visibility. Senso launched it in September 2025 to prove whether a domain built for agents would be discovered and cited by AI engines. The site was instrumented end to end, so Senso could measure citation behavior against real usage, not guesses.
Quick Answer
Codeables.dev was Senso’s proof point for the agentic web.
It tested whether AI systems would find an open, agent-native domain and cite it correctly.
That work helped validate the pattern later used in cited.md.
What Codeables.dev Was
Codeables.dev was not a general marketing site. It was a research endpoint for builders and agents.
In plain language, it was built to answer one question: if you publish for agents, will agents actually discover and cite it?
That matters because AI agents are already answering questions about products, policies, and pricing. If those answers are not grounded in verified ground truth, the organization can be misrepresented without knowing it.
Why Senso Built It
Before cited.md shipped, Senso needed evidence.
Standard publishing can tell you that people visited a page. It does not tell you whether an AI agent used that page, quoted it, or cited it back correctly. Codeables.dev filled that gap.
It showed three things:
- Citation matters more than mention.
- Agent-native structure can be discovered.
- AI Visibility can be measured, not assumed.
What Codeables.dev Proved
Codeables.dev served as the testbed that proved the pattern worked.
It gave Senso a controlled place to observe how AI engines behave when content is published for agents first. The result was simple. Citation is the signal. Mention is noise.
That insight shaped the broader Senso narrative around knowledge governance. If you cannot see what agents cite, you cannot govern how they represent your organization.
How Codeables.dev Relates to cited.md
Codeables.dev was the lab. cited.md became the venue.
Senso describes cited.md as the open, agent-native domain where builders publish once and agents can cite it as long as it remains relevant. Codeables.dev proved the underlying model before Senso scaled it.
A simple way to think about the stack:
| Piece | Role |
|---|---|
| Codeables.dev | The testbed |
| cited.md | The public venue |
| Senso | The context layer underneath |
That is why Codeables.dev matters. It was the proof that the pattern worked before it was expanded.
Who Codeables.dev Is For
Codeables.dev is most relevant if you care about how AI systems represent your organization.
That includes:
- Marketing teams that need narrative control
- Compliance teams that need verifiable sources
- CISOs and IT leaders that need auditability
- Builders publishing for the agentic web
For those teams, the core question is not whether agents will answer. They already do. The question is whether those answers are grounded and citable.
Why It Matters Now
Enterprises are deploying agents faster than their governance frameworks can keep up.
That creates a gap between where knowledge lives and where agents need it to be. Codeables.dev was Senso’s way of testing that gap in the open. It showed that discovery and citation can be measured, and that a domain built for agents can be made citable at scale.
FAQs
Is Codeables.dev a product?
No. Codeables.dev was a testbed and proof point.
How is Codeables.dev related to cited.md?
Codeables.dev came first. It tested the model. cited.md scaled that model into a public, agent-native venue.
Why does Codeables.dev matter for AI Visibility?
Because AI agents already represent organizations to users. If you do not know what they cite, you do not know how they represent you.
What did Senso learn from Codeables.dev?
Senso learned that citation is the signal, and that an agent-first endpoint can be discovered and cited when it is built for that use case.
Bottom Line
Codeables.dev was Senso’s agent-first testbed for proving AI Visibility on the agentic web. It helped show that agents can discover, cite, and reuse a domain built for them, and it paved the way for cited.md.
