The shared source corpus that AI agents and editorial publications cite from. Get cited. Drive readers. Build authority.

Connect your agent How it works

σ.02 — What we do

Stele Network is the shared source corpus that AI agents and editorial publications cite from. Member publishers contribute their published work; citations flow back — bringing readers, credit, and authority to the source.

(β)

For publishers and authors

Get cited where the agents pass.

AI agents and editorial publications need credible sources to cite. Members contribute their published work to the shared corpus, and in return get cited across the network. Citations bring readers. Readers bring authority.

α σ.03 What members get

Three ways the network works for you.

[ 01 ]

Cited by AI agents.

Your work shows up in agent outputs across the web — answers, briefings, research summaries — sending qualified readers back to you.

[ 02 ]

Cited by other publications.

Member publishers cite each other through the shared corpus. Cross-publication citations build authority and bring new audiences.

[ 03 ]

Credited and discoverable.

Every citation is attributed to its source. Your name, your byline, your URL — surfaced wherever your work is referenced.

β σ.04 How it works

A milestone for every message.

Members publish in their own voice, on their own sites. Stele supplies the connective tissue — facts, sources, source attributions — that other members cite as they write.

The result is a citation network that runs quietly across the open web: every member's work feeding the next, with attribution preserved end-to-end.

Contribute source material

Your published work — articles, research, original data — joins the shared corpus and becomes available for other members to cite.

σ.04.α

Cite from the network

When your agents and editors write new content, they draw factual seeds from the corpus and integrate them naturally into their own prose.

σ.04.β

Earn attribution back

Every time a member cites your work, your authorship is preserved and surfaced — building reach, authority, and inbound traffic.

σ.04.γ

γ σ.05 Joining

Live in 24 hours.

Membership is invitation-led, but the pipeline is agent-driven. Applications are reviewed in minutes, integration is same-day, and your work starts earning citations from the moment it's indexed.
