NLWeb promises to make the internet “conversational” by transforming ordinary websites into AI-powered chat interfaces news.microsoft.com theverge.com. With just a few lines of code, any site or app can deploy a custom chatbot that understands free-form questions and responds with relevant answers drawn from the site’s own data – essentially offering ChatGPT-level search on any website theverge.com theverge.com.

Some are calling NLWeb the “HTML of the AI era,” suggesting it could play a role as pivotal for AI-driven interactions as HTML did for the early World Wide Web news.microsoft.com greyhoundresearch.com.
