Local AI-bot protection + pooled licensing
Block locally.
License collectively.
DataLicenser gives publishers a local enforcement layer for unauthorized AI crawlers, then combines opted-in content into category pools that AI labs can license through one agreement.

Install local protection
Connect Cloudflare or Akamai, or install the server-side layer. Known crawler requests are decided locally from a signed rule cache.
Choose licensing participation
Keep protection on. Separately opt into a category pool and review each proposed AI-buyer agreement.
Enforce and reconcile
Active license: allow structured access. Ended license: revoke. Signed usage records determine the royalty pool.
Start with evidence
Is your stated policy actually enforced?
robots.txt expresses a preference. It does not create a gate. The scanner compares the policy you publish with the response your edge returns to known crawler identities.
Private by design. Results are not stored or published. Only scan domains you own or administer.

Local enforcement
Human traffic does not wait on our API.
The server layer evaluates known crawler identities against a signed disk cache. Configuration sync and telemetry happen in the background.
| Capability | CDN / WAF alone | DataLicenser |
|---|---|---|
| Block or challenge automated traffic | Core capability | Uses your edge or a local server layer |
| Work without a live request-time API call | Provider dependent | Signed rules execute locally |
| Aggregate publishers into category datasets | Outside core edge scope | Core clearinghouse model |
| Revoke access when a license ends | Requires your workflow | Tied to license state |
Measured latency and resource impact depend on the publisher’s stack. Performance results will be published after production benchmarking.
Category clearinghouse
One contract. A governed publisher pool.
AI labs need usable coverage without thousands of bilateral integrations. Publishers need collective scale without surrendering deal control.
Tech & software engineering
Publisher enrollment and buyer coverage pending active agreements.
Finance, markets & business
Publisher enrollment and buyer coverage pending active agreements.
Lifestyle, culture & entertainment
Publisher enrollment and buyer coverage pending active agreements.
News & current events
Publisher enrollment and buyer coverage pending active agreements.
Proof, when it exists
No borrowed credibility.
Customer references and aggregate benchmarks will appear only with permission and a documented sample. No invented logos or traffic statistics.
Two revenue lines. Separate decisions.
Protection first.
Licensing by explicit opt-in.
From $29/mo
Local enforcement and operational telemetry, independent of licensing.
