What is Tale?

Tale is an open-source project workspace designed for teams and AI agents. It allows users to plan projects, delegate tasks to agents, and review results within a shared environment that combines task boards, agent sandboxes, shared knowledge, and workflows. Built for collaborative teams such as software development, marketing, and operations, Tale supports multiple runtimes and model providers including Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenAI. The platform can be self-hosted using Docker on user infrastructure or used via cloud options.

What it can read, and what stays hidden →

What a bot can read

A language model reading the provided inputs learns that Tale is an open-source project workspace published by Ruler GmbH in Spiez, Switzerland. The homepage and llms.txt provide comprehensive details about platform features, including shared task boards, agent sandboxes, automations, and knowledge management. The text covers supported agent runtimes, connected tool integrations like GitHub and Slack, use cases for marketing and engineering, and extensive frequently asked questions addressing self-hosting, air-gapped deployments, and model choices. Pricing details are fully articulated across the homepage, llms.txt, and JSON-LD blocks, stating that the Community edition is free and open source, while the Enterprise edition costs 12 CHF or 14 EUR per user per month. The embedded JSON-LD provides structured organization and software application data, while the llms.txt file supplies a complete directory of platform pages and comparison articles.

3 of 4 pages read pass; 1 partly. The page at /contact declares BreadcrumbList but names none of them, so the markup asserts that something exists without saying what.

3 of 4 pages read pass; 1 partly. The page at /contact is partly structured: The outline jumps from h1 to h3, which the standard forbids.

robots.txt names no AI crawlers, so every operator has to guess.

0 of 2.5 points.

No usage declaration found in robots.txt or the final successful homepage response header.

Content and navigation

Share of extracted homepage words by marked region. Navigation inside a header, footer or main region is counted once, under navigation.

Extracted words and their share by page region
Region	Words	Share
Main region	863	92.4%
Navigation	47	5.03%
Page header	2	0.21%
Page footer	18	1.93%
Other text	4	0.43%

9 words appear before the first main-region text in HTML order.

Diagnostic only; it does not affect the score. Recognised hidden text and script payloads are excluded. Stylesheet visibility and repetition across pages are unknown. A large menu is not necessarily a problem.

Coverage and interpretation

Crawler coverage includes the registered identities and up to 50 user-agent entries from robots.txt. Source excerpts and detail groups are bounded; omissions are labelled.
Observed access describes GoodForBotsBot only. Other crawler entries describe declared rules, not tests of those operators' access.
Coverage is the sampled homepage response and collected robots.txt files. No indexing or citation is guaranteed. Usage preferences are declarations, not a legal determination of permission.
This explanation adds no points or penalties. Any score effects belong to the linked checks.
AIPREF and Content Signals keep their own definitions. AIPREF search can include processing used exclusively for search; training preferences are not a blanket ruling on every search process.
