How to use the ai.txt generator

ai.txt is a declarative draft for publishing website-owner preferences about AI use. The generator separates intentions for training, search, summarization, extraction, and attribution in language that humans can review.

What the file includes

• Separate preferences for model training, AI search, generated summaries, and data extraction.
• Attribution expectations, including whether a source name and link should accompany reuse.
• A policy contact and scope statement so implementers can resolve ambiguous cases.

How to publish it

1. Align every selected preference with your licences, contracts, and actual website policy.
2. Publish the file at /ai.txt and keep it available without authentication.
3. Avoid conflicts with robots.txt, meta robots directives, HTTP headers, and your terms of use.
4. Inspect server logs because support depends on each crawler and provider.

Important limitations

ai.txt is not a universal enforcement protocol. Use supported robots.txt directives, access controls, and licensing terms for restrictions that must be enforced. The file can clarify intent, but it does not override a crawler policy or applicable law.

Frequently asked questions

Does ai.txt replace robots.txt?

No. robots.txt addresses crawling by compliant bots, while ai.txt expresses broader preferences about downstream content use.

Do all AI companies support it?

No. Support is not universal, so critical restrictions need enforceable technical and legal controls.

Can search be allowed while training is restricted?

The draft can express those separate intentions, but actual behavior depends on the published policy of each provider.
