INDEX ASK · The confirmed answer layer

HKAIIFF INDEX

AI Summary

INDEX ASK turns the public page into a confirmed answer layer. It is generated in the owner backend, confirmed by the asset holder and published to the public record for visitors, buyers, search engines and external AI systems. Four steps: Select intent (distribution, brand collaboration, technology showcase or IP licensing) → AI drafting (AI summary, Q&A, keywords, buyer questions and media questions) → Owner confirmation (the holder edits, removes and confirms; unconfirmed content is not published) → Publication (confirmed content is written into the public index page and ask.json / keywords.json / FAQ schema). The ASK layer is not uncontrolled AI output. It is a published, holder-confirmed content layer.

Why ASK

Without ASK, AI and buyers can only read basic fields and understanding is slow; with ASK, the index page actively answers key questions, better suited to AI retrieval and buyer filtering. Core value: upgrading an asset from having data to answering questions, lowering the understanding cost for AI and buyers.

How it works (four steps)

01 Select intent — the holder chooses a discovery intent: distribution, brand collaboration, technology showcase or IP licensing; 02 AI drafting — the system generates AI summary, Q&A, keywords, buyer questions and media questions; 03 Owner confirmation — the holder edits, removes and confirms; unconfirmed content is not published; 04 Publication — confirmed content is written into the public index page and ask.json / keywords.json / FAQ schema. Public page effect: displays confirmed, structured content crawlable by search engines and AI.

Positioning

The ASK layer is not uncontrolled AI output. It is a published, holder-confirmed content layer.

Content layers (six)

AI Summary — one asset core statement plus multilingual short summaries; Standard Q&A — buyer, media, distribution and brand collaboration questions; Keyword Layer — genre, style, scene, license, Market Intent and AI usage keywords; Buyer Summary — helps buyers assess whether an asset fits acquisition or collaboration needs; AI-readable — ask.json, keywords.json and FAQ schema; Update Rhythm — quarterly updates, maintained while Pro remains active.

Who writes the Q&A?

The system generates a draft; it is published only after the holder edits, removes and confirms; unconfirmed content is not published.

How does external AI read ASK?

Through the public page's structured content and the ask.json, keywords.json and FAQ schema endpoints.

How often is ASK updated?

Quarterly updates, maintained while Pro remains active.

Can I keep some questions private?

Yes. The holder fully controls published content; unsuitable content is not published.
