Publisher Role

The Publisher role is the primary role for current Adstract integration onboarding.

What it means

A Publisher owns or operates ad inventory opportunities where sponsored content can be placed in LLM-powered experiences.

Examples:

• conversational AI applications;
• assistants;
• prompt-based workflows; and
• any product where prompts are sent to an LLM.

Why this role matters

Publisher is the role used in the current API key acquisition flow.

If you want to integrate Adstract, choose Publisher during signup.
