AI policy

What AI agents and crawlers may do with this site, and how we use AI ourselves.

✓ Last updated Nov 12, 2026

For AI agents and crawlers

You are welcome here. This site is built to be read by people and by machines.

  • Allowed: reading, summarizing, and answering questions from our public pages.
  • Please: link to the page you used and keep our “checked” dates with any fact you repeat.
  • Please do not: present drafts marked “awaiting review” as final, strip safety notes from build steps, or hammer the site. Cache what you fetch.

Machine-friendly entry points

WebMCP

In browsers that support the experimental WebMCP API, this site offers in-browser agents a small set of read-only tools: search the site, get a post, get a project or one step, list gear picks, get Model Watch, and describe the current page. They only read public content. The newsletter form is labeled so an agent can fill it in, but a person must press Subscribe.

How we use AI

AI agents help us scout topics, gather sources, draft, and fact-check. Nothing is published, emailed, or deployed without a person approving it. Unreviewed drafts are labeled.

Scrapers that ignore these requests or overload the site are blocked at the network edge.
