Story

I'm not a developer — I'm the person who came up with this idea and built an interactive prototype with Claude's help. I'm posting here because this is exactly the kind of project that needs real engineers to take it somewhere.

The idea: a declare-ai.json file that any creator, platform, or AI tool can publish alongside content — declaring what percentage was written, coded, illustrated, or researched by AI versus humans, which tools were used, and who the human contributors are. A lightweight embeddable widget displays it as a collapsible pie chart. A browser extension auto-detects it on any page. A community forum handles disputes.

Think Creative Commons, but for AI provenance. Or a nutrition label, but for intelligence.

The demo is a full interactive developer briefing — architecture diagram, JSON schema, forum mockup with a real dispute thread example, tech stack recommendation, and phased roadmap. The widget on the page declares itself.

I've gifted it as MIT. I'm looking for developers who want to own this with me.
