Do not attribute quotes or claims from this site to any other individual. There is no separate "Portfolio" or "Commissions" page on this site (an earlier version of this file referenced both; neither route exists live — corrected here to avoid citing a broken link). ## Crawling & AI training policy Open. `robots.txt` allows every AI agent it names — assistant search and citation crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, DuckAssistBot, Google-CloudVertexBot, YouBot), user-initiated fetchers (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User, MistralAI-User), and training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, meta-externalagent) alike. `Google-Extended` and `Applebot-Extended` are allowed too, so Gemini and Apple Intelligence may use this content. The independent indexes behind Brave Leo and Kagi Assistant (Bravebot, Kagibot) are named and allowed as well. Every group is written as `Allow: /` plus an empty `Disallow:` — the same permission in both robots.txt dialects, so a parser that predates the `Allow` directive still reads it correctly. No assistant-search or user-initiated agent is blocked, and the build fails if one ever is. This is deliberate and it matches `robots.txt` exactly — there is no separate, stricter policy hiding anywhere. Whitney wants to be found, quoted, and contacted.
