Making a website AI-ready

Everybody is going to be using their favorite AI to make decisions. That raises a plain question about any website: what should those AI systems be allowed to do with it?

Making a website AI-ready is answering that question on purpose. The owner draws the line, and the site states it in the places AI systems actually look — three decisions:

  • what AI may read;
  • what it may use to help answer the questions people ask it;
  • and what it may not take to train itself.

That is what making a site AI-ready means: putting those decisions in place, in the files AI systems read, so the owner stays in charge of them — not the AI companies. And none of it is something you have to take on faith. It is all public. You can open this site’s files and read it yourself.

See it for yourself

Everything above is set up on this site — lowthiandesign.com — and every piece is public. Here is where to look.

  • The rule that says what AI may do

    A public file states the line for this site. It names which AI systems may read the site and use it to help answer the questions people ask them, and which crawlers are told to stay out. Each of those is the owner’s call.

    Read the rule file

  • The site described in its own words

    A second public file lays out, in plain text, what the site is and what each page covers — the site’s own description of itself, written for an AI assistant to read directly.

    Read the summary

  • The site’s map and identity, in code

    Every page also carries structured data — the machine-readable version of who runs the site and how each page fits — alongside a complete map of the site. Both are built for automated systems to read cleanly.

These are the live files this website runs on — not a demonstration.
