We'd argue our stance and focus are a bit different. Our stance is -- we help eng teams and the open web with whatever their preference for AI might be.

If you want to go all in and monetize AI traffic or sign an agreement with a foundation model for training, we have tools that can help you do that. If you want to go scorched-earth on AI bots that try to scrape your systems, we can help you do that too.

It's all about helping engineers tasked with tough problems get their jobs done, regardless of whether the flavor of the week is AI or something else.
