// ai.txt starter kit

Publish AI governance on your own site. Free.

ai.txt is the robots.txt of AI governance: one small file at your domain root that declares how your AI is governed and where anyone can verify it. Here is everything you need to publish one in about five minutes.

FREE STANDARD · NO KEY · NO ACCOUNT · NO PERMISSION

01 / Grab the template

A ready-to-fill ai.txt with every line commented. Download it, or read the live example on our own domain.

02 / Fill it in and publish

Replace the example values with your own facts. Delete any line you cannot back with a real verify endpoint — an honest short ai.txt beats an aspirational long one. Then upload it to the root of your domain so it lives at:

https://yourdomain.com/ai.txt

That is the whole spec. One file, at the root, readable by anyone — a regulator, a partner, or another machine deciding whether to trust you.

03 / Add the badge

Show visitors and crawlers that you have declared your AI governance. Copy this HTML onto your site — it renders a small badge linking to your ai.txt:
