For anyone whose work lives on a website
Your work wasn't made to train someone else's AI.
Find out in seconds whether AI companies are taking the words and photos from your website — then put a clear "no" in place.
Free, no account needed. We only read the public page that tells crawlers what they're allowed to do.
Two ways to protect it
Same protection either way. The difference is whether you put it in place yourself or we look after it for you.

What this does — and what it doesn't
Most of the big AI companies publish the name their crawler uses and promise to respect a site that asks them to stay away. Shieldify puts that request in place properly, in the two spots that matter, and keeps it current.
We won't pretend it's a force field. A scraper that ignores site rules will still ignore them. This is a strong, genuine first layer — the same one big publishers use — not a guarantee that nobody will ever copy your work.
