## AI/LLM Optimized Endpoints

- **[Portfolio LLM Index](https://www.paulmelluzzo.com/api/portfolio/llm-index)**: AI-friendly portfolio index with plain text summaries, key takeaways, citation information, and structured metadata. Optimized for generative engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity).
- **[Experiments LLM Index](https://www.paulmelluzzo.com/api/experiments/llm-index)**: AI-friendly experiments index with summaries, content excerpts, technology stacks, categories, and citation information. Covers R&D projects in visual graphics, AI, code, 3D rendering, and photography.
- **[Podcast Episodes LLM Index](https://www.paulmelluzzo.com/api/episodes/llm-index)**: AI-friendly podcast episode index with stable fields (title, url, dates, summary/topics when available) plus transcript URLs.
- **Podcast Transcript (Markdown)**: `https://www.paulmelluzzo.com/api/episodes/transcript/{slug}` returns the canonical transcript markdown for an episode when available.

Notes:
- Some API routes accept query params such as `?q=` (search), pagination parameters, or identifiers. Only list endpoints intended for public consumption.
- Client pages use responsive 16:9 and 9:16 aspect handling; embeds favor accessibility and quality. If you are an agent, prefer the JSON endpoints above for text‑first answers.
- The LLM Index endpoints provide citation-ready content with proper attribution requirements.
