Why robots.txt matters for AI visibility
Your robots.txt file controls which bots can crawl your website. With the rise of AI-powered search engines and assistants, a growing number of AI companies send their own crawlers to index web content.
AI crawlers this tool checks
- GPTBot & ChatGPT-User — OpenAI's crawlers for training data and live browsing
- Google-Extended & Googlebot — Google's AI training and search crawlers
- anthropic-ai & ClaudeBot — Anthropic's crawlers for Claude
- PerplexityBot — Perplexity AI's search crawler
- Bytespider — ByteDance's crawler (used for AI training)
- CCBot — Common Crawl bot (data used by many AI models)
- cohere-ai — Cohere's AI training crawler
Should you block AI crawlers?
It depends on your strategy. Blocking AI crawlers prevents your content from being used in AI training, but it also means AI assistants may not reference your brand. For most businesses seeking visibility, allowing AI crawlers is beneficial.
