# Asset Monetization

## Turn your assets into revenue

When you opt-in your assets, decide if and how AI models should compensate you. Set your terms for training, generation, and indexing usage. You're in control.

## How It Works

### How AI Models Know to Pay You

Opttab's MCP API communicates your monetization preferences directly to AI models. When they want to use your content, they must compensate you first.

### Enable Monetization

Set preferences when adding assets

- Auto-Generate Files: robots.txt & llm.txt created
- Watermark Assets: Images tagged for tracking
- Get Paid: AI models pay via Opttab

### Enable AI Monetization in Preferences

When you add assets to Opttab, simply toggle on monetization in the preferences step. Set your pricing for training, generation, and indexing usage.

- Choose which AI models can access your content
- Set custom pricing per usage type
- Enable automatic payment collection

## Step 2 of 3

### Enable AI Monetization

- Training Rate: $0.05 / use
- Generation Rate: $0.02 / citation

### Automatic robots.txt & llm.txt Generation

For websites like blogs and news sites, Opttab automatically generates optimized robots.txt and llm.txt files. Simply add them to your website's root directory.

#### Smart Blocking

AI models see a message: "To access this content, make payment via Opttab" instead of scraping your data for free.

### Invisible Watermarking for Images

Opttab automatically adds invisible watermarks to your monetized image assets. AI models can detect these watermarks and know payment is required before use.

- Invisible to human eyes, visible to AI
- Contains ownership & pricing information
- Tracks unauthorized usage automatically
- Provides evidence for infringement claims

### Automatic Payment via MCP API

Opttab's MCP API communicates with AI models in real-time. When they want to use your content, payment is processed automatically before access is granted.

#### Seamless Payments

No invoicing, no chasing payments. AI models integrate once with Opttab and all creator payments are handled automatically.
