# aicm > aicm finds the PDFs across a website, catalogues them, and converts each one into an AI-ready, accessible HTML web page that AI agents, LLMs, screen readers and search engines can read accurately. The original PDF is preserved. aicm (AI Content Manager) is part of the AAAnow group, which has spent 25 years building automation tools for large digital estates.
