Overlai is a free mobile app that helps creators protect their human-generated content by adding permanent copyright and "do not train" AI assertions before media is posted online. The app verifies content as authentically human-created, then attaches ownership credentials and usage rights as immutable on-chain metadata, preventing unauthorized scraping for AI training. Available on iOS, with Android and Adobe™ plug-in releases coming soon.

Problem
AI-generated content is flooding the internet, blurring the line between synthetic and real media. By 2025, an estimated 90% of online content will be AI-generated, making it difficult for creators to prove their work is authentically human-made and to prevent their original creations from being scraped and used to train AI models without permission.
Solution
Overlai provides a free mobile app that lets creators sign their human-generated content with permanent copyright and "do not train" AI assertions before uploading it online. The app first verifies that content is authentically human-created, then labels it like an "organic label" certification for digital work. It establishes universal and permanent on-chain copyright protection by embedding credentials and usage rights into immutable metadata, ensuring control over how media can be used or referenced regardless of screenshots. The application explicitly does not protect AI-generated content, maintaining a clear distinction between synthetic and authentic work.
Target Audience
Primary users are digital creators, artists, photographers, and content producers who want to protect their original human-generated work from unauthorized AI training and maintain verifiable proof of authenticity.
