Reimagining Brand Websites for an AI-Driven World

*note -- this is a rough draft! We will likely need different versions of this that speak to different audiences. This is intended for internal alignemnt only at this time -- we will use this as clay to create the other content we may need.*

Websites have long been the backbone of a brand’s online presence. Yet, despite decades of progress in design and functionality, they remain stuck in the 2010s internet — static, difficult to manage, and most importantly, unaware of the customers they serve.

Today’s websites rely on outdated paradigms: bloated homepages, rigid funnels, and pre-programmed systems incapable of adapting to individual user needs.

Running a brand online is hard! Whether it’s selling products or reaching new customers, doing it well has become increasingly complex. Managing inventory, creating fresh content, running ads, optimizing for SEO, launching email campaigns, A/B testing, personalizing experiences — the demands keep growing. Add the challenges of scaling this across multiple countries, languages, and markets, and it’s no wonder brands feel overwhelmed.

Yet there’s another challenge: websites are no longer built exclusively for human visitors. They must also serve AI agents — an internet-scale shift already underway. Shopping assistants, LLM chatbots, and similar agents will become central to how consumers interact with brands. These agents don’t just browse; they extract product details, pricing, inventory, and marketing messaging, acting as critical intermediaries for customers.

Current websites aren’t built for this reality. Without proper control, they risk being scraped for incomplete or outdated information, leading to inconsistent or incorrect representations of a brand. This status quo is unsustainable.

We are here to change that.

Traditional Websites Can’t Keep Up
The limitations of traditional websites create bottlenecks across every part of the business:

Outdated systems stretched thin across thousands of static pages.
Inefficient SEO strategies reliant on guesses about customer intent.
Rigid funnels that ignore the unique needs of individual users.

Despite tools like recommendation engines, interactive features, and A/B testing, websites are always on the back foot. The result?

Customers struggle to find relevant content.
Teams waste time maintaining systems that don’t scale.
Business goals are harder to achieve when the website doesn’t actively work for the brand.

This is the gap we’re closing.

The Canopy Vision
We believe websites must do more than just exist — they should think, adapt, and simplify both the customer experience and the operational complexity for their owners. The websites we’ll power with Canopy are dual-purpose by design:

For Customers: They deliver personalized, real-time content and layouts, dynamically tailored to each visitor’s needs.
For AI Agents: They provide structured endpoints where data, images, and messaging are brand-controlled and always up-to-date.

This dual-purpose approach ensures the websites we build excel in today’s environment and prepare for the AI-driven future. Canopy turns static websites into adaptive, intelligent systems that serve both human and AI users with precision.

Your Website IS Your AI

brand’s AI (this is just a placeholder)

Canopy transforms websites into dynamic, intelligent systems that evolve alongside the brand.

Simplified Management: Hundreds of static pages are replaced by a single adaptive interface that updates automatically based on context — campaigns, events, goals, or customer behavior. Proactive scanning identifies broken links or outdated content, letting teams focus on growth, not maintenance.
Individualized Experiences: Every visitor’s journey is tailored in real time. Whether it’s a marathoner, a parent, or a yoga enthusiast, personalized content drives loyalty and builds deeper customer connections.
Business-Driven Flexibility: User journeys dynamically adapt to meet business objectives — whether spotlighting a product launch, reducing excess inventory, or targeting new segments.
AI-Ready Integration: Dedicated endpoints (e.g., ai.nike.com) provide AI agents with accurate, brand-controlled data, ensuring consistent messaging and interactions across human and AI users alike.
Unified Branding: From personalized customer journeys to AI queries, Canopy ensures every interaction reflects a cohesive brand identity.

Canopy makes websites future-ready, equipping brands with tools to deliver millions of personalized, brand-aligned interactions at scale.
