AI crawlers

The bots that read your site for AI answers, and the settings that hide you from them.

What are AI crawlers?

AI crawlers are the bots AI companies use to fetch web pages, either to train models or to answer questions in real time. Examples include GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot from OpenAI, ClaudeBot from Anthropic and PerplexityBot. Each can be allowed or blocked separately in robots.txt.
