With your support, the Web Content Browser for AI Agents Community Group has been launched: https://www.w3.org/community/web-content-browser-ai/ This group was originally proposed on 2026-03-23 by David Hurley. The following people supported its creation: David Hurley Alan Hartless Daniel Bradley Jan Linhart Daniel Tubbs To join the group, please use: https://www.w3.org/community/web-content-browser-ai/join Please note that supporting a group is different from joining a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate. -------------------- AI agents increasingly need to read and interact with web pages. The current approach - sending raw HTML or DOM snapshots to language models - is wasteful and lossy. This Community Group will develop a JSON format to represent web page content in a form optimized for consumption by AI agents and language models. One goal is to reduce token costs (through compression) while preserving semantic meaning and interactivity. Group deliverables are expected to be a specification, schema, conformance test suite, and integration guide. The [SOM Spec v1.0](https://plasmate.app/docs/som-spec) is intended to serve as a starting point for discussion within the group, but is not intended to constrain the group's discussions or decisions about future deliverables. This group will publish Specifications. -------------------- Thank you, W3C Community Development Team
