What is Content-Signal?

Content-Signal is a proposed directive for robots.txt that allows website owners to express their preferences about how AI systems use their content. Unlike traditional robots.txt rules that only allow or block access, Content-Signal provides granular control over three dimensions:

search — Whether your content may appear in AI-powered search results (e.g., Perplexity, Google AI Overviews).
ai-input — Whether your content may be used as context when AI systems generate responses.
ai-train — Whether your content may be included in training datasets for AI models.

Content-Signal can be delivered through robots.txt (recommended), HTTP headers, or HTML meta tags. Using it alongside traditional robots.txt rules gives you full control over how AI interacts with your website.
