# ai-input

In short

The Content Signals value for using content as live input to an AI answer, such as grounding or retrieval. Leaving it blank states no preference. The builder sets it from the Live answer fetch choice: allow gives ai-input=yes and refuse gives ai-input=no. Example: Cloudflare serves no ai-input value for managed robots.txt customers because it does not know their preference.
