+# Adopters
+
+Organisations running LocalAI, listed by the people who run it.
+
+If your organisation uses LocalAI and you are happy to say so publicly, open a
+pull request adding a row to the table below. That pull request is how we know
+we have permission to list you, which is why we do not add anybody ourselves.
+
+You do not need to be a large company, and you do not need to disclose anything
+sensitive. A sentence on what you use it for is more useful to other readers
+than a logo.
+
+## How to add yourself
+
+1. Add a row to the table, in alphabetical order.
+2. Use your organisation's usual name and a link to your site.
+3. Say briefly what you use LocalAI for, and whether it is in production.
+4. Open the pull request from an account that makes it plausible you speak for
+   the organisation, or say in the description who you are. We may ask.
+
+To be removed, open a pull request deleting your row, or email
+[info@localai.io](mailto:info@localai.io). We will not ask why.
+
+## Who is using LocalAI
+
+<!-- Keep alphabetical. Columns: Organisation | What for | Status -->
+
+| Organisation | What they use it for | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| _Your organisation here_ | | |
+
+## What this list is not
+
+This is not a list of everyone who has ever starred the repository, and it is
+not a list of the employers of people who have contributed a patch. Both of
+those are easy to scrape and neither means what a logo wall implies.
+
+The website shows two separate things, both of which are checkable without
+anybody's permission:
+
+- **Engineers from these companies have contributed code.** Evidence is the
+  commit history plus the employer on that person's public GitHub profile. It
+  is a claim about a person, not about their employer.
+- **These projects integrate LocalAI.** Evidence is a reference to LocalAI in
+  that project's own repository or documentation.
+
+Those two lists live in [`website/data/ecosystem.yaml`](website/data/ecosystem.yaml).
+This file is the third, stronger thing: organisations that chose to say so.
