ai.txt present
What the check finds
No /.well-known/ai.txt. An early convention for stating AI usage terms; no major provider has committed to reading it.
Why it matters for AI answers
ai.txt is an early way to state AI usage terms. No major AI provider has committed to reading it, so it has little practical effect today. robots.txt is what crawlers honour.
How to fix it
- Control AI crawlers in robots.txt first, since that is the file they read.
- Optionally publish /.well-known/ai.txt stating the same policy, so the two do not conflict.
