Knov.ai

Certified Implementor Program

Build on OARS.

The OARS API powers agent-readiness tooling, assessments, and directory access for consultants, agencies, and developers building on the standard.

Access is by application. Acceptance makes you a verified OARS implementor — listed in the Knov.ai implementor directory, with the standing to sell OARS implementation as a new service. The network stays selective on purpose, so being part of it means something.

Who it’s for

Three kinds of practitioners build on the standard.

  • Consultants & agencies

    Implementing OARS for clients — use the API to power your own dashboards, reporting, and client audits.

  • Developers building tools

    Plugins, integrations, and products that score or validate agent-readiness.

  • Platforms & partners

    Embed OARS scoring into existing web auditing, SEO, or digital-marketing tooling.

What you get

  • API access

    Assessment scoring, oars.json validation, directory lookup, and agent-readiness checks across all five OARS levels.

  • Certified Implementor listing

    Your name, firm, and specialties listed on the Knov.ai directory as a verified OARS implementor.

  • Verified client submissions

    Submit client domains for Knov.ai verification directly through your account.

  • Priority support

    Direct access for implementation questions, and early access to new API endpoints as the standard evolves.
