robots.txt AI Checker

See which AI bots can access your site

Enter a domain to check its robots.txt against 13 major AI crawlers. See which bots are allowed, which are blocked, and get recommendations. Free.

Which AI Bots Should You Allow?

Allow these if you want AI engines to cite your content: GPTBot (ChatGPT answers), ClaudeBot (Claude answers), PerplexityBot (Perplexity search), Google-Extended (Gemini), and Bingbot (Copilot).

Consider blocking training-only crawlers if you want visibility without contributing training data: CCBot, Bytespider, cohere-ai. These crawl for model training, not for serving your content in AI answers.
