Website

In Settings → Website, choose your page address (your handle); the panel says whether it is free. Design your site then opens the designer, and nothing is public until your first Publish. The page is at pages.thedreamlabinnovations.com/<your handle>, and rbai.thedreamlabinnovations.com/r/<your handle> forwards to it. It shows what your site’s design shows and never your email, and its Message button opens a conversation with you in Connect. Withdraw page removes it at once.

Each published item is marked AI-assisted · made with RBAi, and every page has Report this page, which sends a report to RBAi after a security check. These are the only lines RBAi adds: every other text on your site is yours to change or remove.

An ORCID iD you enter in Settings → Profile is self-reported: RBAi does not verify it, because ORCID’s free sign-in is for non-commercial services only. A new site labels it ORCID iD (self-reported, not verified), and heads the works found for it Works of the ORCID iD they entered, with a line saying RBAi has not confirmed they are yours. Like every text on your site, these lines can be changed in the designer. Connect never names you as a paper’s author by that iD.

Everything is published after a preview: nothing is public until you press Publish.

• A Report Writer page you own: Publish in the page toolbar. A shared page can be published by its owner only.
• A literature review or a Studio output: Edit and publish opens it as a new Report Writer page, so you edit it before it goes public (a visual summary goes into a page with Insert into Report Writer). A page made from a Studio output asks you to select Publish the quotes, because its quotes from your sources, which may be unpublished work, become public.
• One version of an HTML page from a chat: Publish to my page in the panel’s ⋯ menu, with a title, a caption and alt text.

The dialog shows the item as it will look and says what a public page cannot show. A page’s own images are copied to the public page, up to 12 a page; SVG images, embeds, comments and suggested insertions are left out, and a Mermaid diagram is replaced by a line saying it is not shown.

Update page replaces a published item with its source as it is now, at the same address. Settings → Website → My public page lists your items, with View, Update, Copy link, Move up, Move down and Unpublish. Your plan sets how many items your page can hold. Plans

Design your site, in Settings → Website, opens the designer: a chat beside a preview of your site. On a screen narrower than 1024 px, Chat and Preview at the top switch between the two.

Everything happens in one chat bar. Describe the site you want, or a change, and press Enter or the send button (Shift+Enter adds a line). Ask for anything: a new look, a layout, colours, fonts, a new section and its content, the order of the sections, or any text of the site, its name in the top bar included. The AI first reads whether your request asks for a new design or a change, and a change alters only what you ask for. A section RBAi has no ready-made type for, such as Teaching, Awards or an FAQ, becomes a custom section with headings, paragraphs, lists, cards, a quotation, two columns, a timeline, buttons and your pictures. Ask for sample content and the AI fills the sections with placeholders, and says which, so you see the design full; replace them before you publish.

The image button in the chat bar attaches up to three images to a request: PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 3 MB each and 3.5 MB together. They are stored with your site, and the AI places each where you say: your photo, logo, cover image, site icon, link preview image, a gallery picture, a picture in a custom section or a section’s background, and writes its alt text. When you do not say, it chooses the place and tells you. A screenshot of another site guides the mood, colours and type, never the text, and is not placed. An image belongs to its request: to use it in a later one, attach it again.

Name a site whose look you like by its address, and the AI follows it: RBAi reads its headings, colours and fonts on the server and gives them to the AI as a guide, never its text. An address you want on your page, such as a paper, a video or a colleague’s site, is not read as a guide. A site that cannot be read, or whose HTML shows none of these, stops the request with the reason, and nothing is changed.

Every text on the page is yours to change or remove, your name, the top bar and the footer lines included, and a text you clear stays cleared: nothing fills it in again. Colours and fonts are your choice too: the AI uses the colours you ask for, and says when a pair is hard to read. The only fixed items are the small Report this page link at the foot of the published page and the small AI label on published items. Your site keeps its own texts. What your site’s designer starts from, folded under the other panels in Settings → Website, holds a short bio and three links for the designer to start from; a later change there, or in Settings → Profile, reaches the site only when you ask, for example Update my bio from my profile.

A request runs on RBAi’s servers, so you can close the dialog, or the browser, while it works; Site design then reads Watch the design, and the dialog shows the progress or the result when you open it again. The chat lists each step as the AI goes through it, such as Waiting to start, Reading your request, Planning the design and Checking links, pictures and buttons, with a check mark and the time it took once it is done, and Thinking shows the AI’s reasoning while it plans. The preview fills in as the design is written: the colours and fonts first, then each section. Show the design as it is written shows its text as it arrives. Stop, in the send button’s place while a request runs, ends it, and nothing is changed.

The AI chooses from RBAi’s own layouts and sections; it never writes HTML or scripts, and it invents no numbers, publications or people unless you ask for sample content. There are six layouts: Classic academic, Modern hero, Minimal serif, Lab and team, Portfolio grid and CV timeline. Sections can come in any order and any type can repeat, each with two or more looks:

• Introduction: your name and role, or a headline such as your research question, a tagline and buttons to other sections;
• Numbers, About, Research interests (tags, a list, one sentence or question cards) and Selected publications, where a paper can be highlighted;
• Works of your ORCID iD and Published work (your published items);
• Projects, Team, Funding, Contact, Text and Links;
• Image gallery: your pictures, each with alt text and an optional caption, as a grid, with the first one large, or as a row to scroll;
• Video: a YouTube or Vimeo video you name, full width or in the reading column;
• Custom section: any heading you name, with its own blocks, in the reading column or in a panel;
• Footer, drawn at the end of the page, with the links you give.

In Edit, the preview is also an editor, and its changes cost no credits. Point at any element, such as your name in the top bar, a heading, a picture or a footer line, to outline it, and click to select it: your next request then changes that element only. The chat bar names it, for example Only: About · Heading or Only: Gallery · Picture 2, and × returns to the whole site. Escape selects the section around the element, then the whole site. Double-click a text, or press Enter on a selected one, to edit it in place: Enter keeps the change, and Escape undoes it.

• Move a section: drag it by any part of it, and a blue line shows where it will land; on a touch screen, press and hold it first. Alt+Up and Alt+Down move the selected section one place. The first introduction and the footer stay first and last.
• Remove: Delete or Backspace removes the selected section, text or picture. Undo shows for 8 seconds at the bottom of the preview, and Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z works too.
• Duplicate a section or give it a background picture: select it and ask in the chat, for example duplicate this, or attach an image and ask for it as the background.
• By keyboard: in Edit, Tab moves from section to section and selects each one.

A move or a removal changes the draft at once, and Save changes makes it a new version. In Preview, the site behaves as it will when published: its buttons scroll to their sections and links to other sites open in a new tab.

A section can have its own background: a band of the accent or link colour, a gradient, or your image under a veil of the page colour. Fonts come from a list of 22 and load from your site’s own address, not from another host.

A slim bar on the preview holds the draft’s state (for example Draft: version 12 · Not published yet), Versions, Publish, or Undo and Save changes after your own edits, and the Edit / Preview switch. Every change is a version: an AI request, Save changes, or Restore of an earlier version, which comes back as the newest draft. Versions lists them with Restore, and View your site. The preview shows the draft at desktop, tablet and phone widths. Publish puts the draft on your site at the same address.

Your first Publish asks you to confirm that everything in the preview becomes public at your address, search engines included; your email is never shown. Later ones do not ask. Each Publish makes public only what that design shows: an item of your profile the design does not show, such as a bio whose section you removed, is also left out of Find researchers and Connect. Withdraw page, in Settings → Website, removes the page at once, and the first Publish after it asks again.

Thinking, in the chat bar, sets how much the AI thinks before it designs, as in the main chat; a request may work for up to about 14 minutes. If you have changed the preview by hand, sending a request saves those changes as a new version first, and the AI starts from it.

There is no monthly number of AI requests. Each request uses credits for its tokens and for the time it runs, 9 credits a minute, also when it fails, is stopped or changes nothing. Changes you make in the preview cost no credits. Credits

On a paid plan, Settings → Website → Your own domain shows your site at a domain you own, such as lab.example.org, as well as at its RBAi address. Type the domain and press Connect. The panel lists the DNS records to add at your domain’s DNS provider, with the exact names and values to copy:

Then press Check now. While the panel is open it checks again every 3 minutes; records can take from a few minutes to a few hours. Once connected, your site answers at your domain with an HTTPS certificate from Cloudflare. Disconnect stops it answering there, and it stays at its RBAi address.

A subdomain (lab.example.org, www.example.org) works with every DNS provider. A bare domain (example.org) needs a provider that can point it with a CNAME (CNAME flattening). If the panel says custom domains are not switched on yet, your site stays at its RBAi address.

Unpublish removes one item. Delete all data removes all your published items but keeps your page with its design and domain. Withdrawing the page, or deleting your account, removes the page, its design and its domain. Data and privacy
