Your robots.txt is the gatekeeper between your content and AI crawlers. Get it right to maximize visibility and protect what matters.
Decide exactly which AI crawlers—GPTBot, Claude, Gemini—can index your content and which ones to block.
Prevent proprietary pages, staging environments, and internal docs from being scraped by AI training bots.
Allowing the right crawlers helps your brand appear in AI-powered answers on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and more.
As AI search grows, a well-configured robots.txt ensures you're optimized for the next generation of discovery.
As AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews become the new standard, controlling how their crawlers (like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended) access your site is crucial.

Our free AI Robots.txt Checker helps you identify if your site is vulnerable to unwanted scraping.

GPTBot is the crawler used to crawl data for training OpenAI's models. ChatGPT-User is the agent used when a user explicitly asks ChatGPT to browse a specific webpage.
You can add a specific block for that bot with 'Allow: /'. For example: User-agent: GPTBot Allow: /
