A switch for every channel
There’s a version of “AI-ready” that means handing your business over to systems you can’t see and hoping. We think that version is bad, and the newest piece of the CoreLoop dashboard is our argument in interface form.
It’s called “Where customers and AI agents reach you”, and it lives under Settings → Channels in your dashboard. One screen, listing every channel your business is reachable through: your public page, the AI agent channels, the in-page tools (on your CoreLoop page and on your own website, separately), the directory. For each one: what it is in plain language, whether it’s on, and a switch.
Why switches matter more than dashboards
Any product can show you a list of features. The switch is the commitment. It says: this channel operates with your permission, revocably, not as a default you’d have to email support to escape.
Some of the combinations turn out to be genuinely useful, not just reassuring:
Page off, agents on. Maybe you’d rather human visitors land on your own website. Hide the CoreLoop page, visitors get redirected to your site, and your agent channels keep answering assistants with structured facts. The two audiences never needed the same door.
Own-website tools off, everything else on. Pasted the snippet but want to hold the in-page tools until you’ve watched the space? One switch, scoped to exactly that.
Everything off, now. Unpublishing remains the master switch above all others. It takes every channel offline instantly, no propagation delay on our side, no support ticket. It has always worked this way; the channel view just makes it visible next to its smaller siblings.
The fine print that isn’t fine print
Two rules hold regardless of how you set the switches. Nothing is ever served from an unpublished profile, whatever the individual toggles say. And no switch affects your data, channels stop serving, never deleting. Flip anything back on and it’s current within moments, because everything serves from the same live profile anyway.
This screen is also, deliberately, the one place in the dashboard where we name the protocols behind the channels, MCP, A2A, WebMCP, because it’s where you’re choosing among them, and choices deserve real names. Everywhere else you’ll keep seeing “AI agents” and “your link”, which is all you ever actually need.
Five minutes with the switches beats any paragraph about them: Settings → Channels in your dashboard. And if you’re curious what each channel does under the hood, the protocols reference names everything properly.
