Nlweb
# Prompt: NLWeb
**File:** A live `/ask` endpoint on your domain (running the NLWeb service) · **Status:** 🚀 New, Microsoft-backed, schema.org-based · **Time to ship:** 4 to 16 hr depending on data shape
NLWeb is an open-source project from Microsoft that turns your website into a natural language interface. Every NLWeb instance automatically becomes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which means any AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) can query your site's content directly.
It's designed by R.V. Guha (creator of schema.org, RSS, and RDF) and explicitly framed as "HTML for the agentic web." Instead of an AI agent navigating Tripadvisor's search filters, it can just ask: "Find family-friendly restaurants in Barcelona with outdoor seating." The response comes back as structured schema.org JSON.
Early adopters: Shopify, Tripadvisor, Eventbrite, O'Reilly Media, Hearst. If your site already has good [`schema.org` JSON-LD](schema-jsonld.md), you're halfway there.
Unlike most files in this repo, NLWeb is a **service** you run, not a static file you upload. It's open source, and you self-host the endpoint.
