Service overview
Notbyai is an online subscription platform created to help creators identify and promote work that is primarily produced by people rather than machines. Subscribers can display a visual mark on their projects to signal that the majority of the work was completed by a human, promoting originality and helping audiences distinguish human-made material from automated output.
Badge options and what they indicate
- Written By Human — For text-focused projects where authorship and editorial decisions are predominantly human-driven.
- Produced By Human — For audio, video, or multimedia productions where production choices and final assembly are largely human-led.
- Painted By Human — For visual arts, illustrations, and images that are mostly the result of an artist’s hands and judgment.
Each badge is intended to match the primary medium of the content and help viewers quickly understand the nature of its creation.
Eligibility and acceptable AI use
Creators who wish to display a Notbyai badge must ensure that at least 90% of the final content was created by humans. AI tools may be used only in limited roles — for example, as a source of inspiration, a reference, or to make minor copy edits — but may not be responsible for the bulk of the work.
When applying for a badge, creators are expected to confirm their compliance with these standards as part of the subscription process.
Visual standards and placement rules
- Maintain legibility: keep the badge at or above the minimum display size specified by the service.
- Preserve clear space: leave the required margin around the badge so it is not crowded by other elements.
- Refrain from modifying: do not alter the badge artwork, color, or wording in any way.
- Use the recommended formats: place the supplied image file or vector version to ensure consistent rendering.
Following these visual rules helps the badge remain recognizable and effective across platforms.
Purpose, scope, and limitations
The primary goal of Notbyai is to encourage creators to prioritize original, human-driven work and to make it easier for audiences to find such content. The badges act as a visual marker of that intent but do not carry legal authority and cannot be changed or customized.
While the program seeks to counterbalance the growing amount of automated output, it functions as an informational signal rather than a certification with legal standing.
Who benefits from using the badges
- Independent writers and journalists who want to emphasize human authorship
- Musicians, producers, and filmmakers highlighting hands-on production
- Visual artists and illustrators aiming to distinguish their handcrafted work
Overall, Notbyai aims to support creators who want to visibly assert that people — not algorithms — did the majority of the work.
