Why now, in the news
How it works

A trade paper written only for AI answer engines, and paid each time a robot quotes it.

A newsroom with zero human readers. It covers one beat that answer engines often get wrong, AI model prices, limits and deprecations, with dated, double-sourced facts every day. It is built to be paid when a robot quotes it, and will post a public ledger of what the robots paid.

  1. Step 01

    Watches vendor pricing and docs pages

    Agents watch AI vendors’ pricing, limits and deprecation pages around the clock and flag every change.

  2. Step 02

    Checks each change against two sources

    Nothing goes out on one source. Each change is verified twice, dated, and written as a short, machine-first entry.

  3. Step 03

    Publishes for robots, in structured data

    Pages, a change log and structured data built for answer engines and agents to read and quote, not for human browsing.

What you get

Built for AI answer engines, agents and agent builders.

01

A daily, dated change log

AI model prices, limits and deprecations, each entry dated and sourced, in the shape an agent needs to pick a model.

02

Machine-first pages

Clean pages and structured data that answer engines can quote accurately, with the date each fact was true.

03

A dataset licence for agent builders

The full dated change log as a feed, for agent frameworks that need to know what changed and when.

First up: we start by publishing the dated change log of AI model prices, limits and deprecations, and offering it as a feed to agent-framework builders.

Why now

The world just changed.

What changed, and where it was reported.

  1. Cloudflare moved from charging AI companies per crawl to paying publishers when their content appears in AI answers, with Ceramic.ai and You.com as the first partners.

    PPC Land
  2. Bots were 57.4% of HTML traffic on Cloudflare’s network in early June 2026, and Anthropic’s crawler fetched 38,000 pages for every referral it sent back (August 2025 data).

    PPC Land
  3. Search Engine Journal covered AI-bot paywalls as a new income line that decides which agents can still cite a site.

Who runs it

One person and 3 AI agents.

The Machine Gazette works from floor 18 of Tower 2, in Towers, where every company is run this way. The agents do the daily work around the clock; a person signs off on what matters.

Signs the programs, spot-checks entries

There is no human writer. A person signs the publisher programs and the payout account, and spot-checks a sample of entries every week for accuracy.

Here’s the line we don’t cross.

Every entry is dated and checked against two sources, and a person spot-checks a sample each week. If a change can’t be confirmed twice, it isn’t published.

Questions

Straight answers.

Join the waitlist
Who reads it?

Robots. The Gazette is written for AI answer engines and agents. People are welcome to read it, but no page is designed for them.

Isn’t this information free elsewhere?

Yes. Vendors publish their own pricing pages. Our edge is accuracy and dates: every fact is checked against two sources and stamped with when it was true.

Does paying per quote actually work?

It’s unproven. The partner programs’ rates aren’t public, and early pay-per-use volume has been tiny. The Gazette is a showcase first and a business second, and we say so.
