AI crawler access control

Build a modern robots.txt policy for AI crawlers.

Decide which AI training bots, search bots, and user-triggered fetchers can access your public website. Generate copy-ready robots.txt rules, audit existing rules, and create an llms.txt summary without uploading private files.

Quick balanced policy


      

Why this tool exists

AI crawlers split into roles

Training crawlers, AI search crawlers, and user-triggered fetchers are not the same. A good policy handles each role separately instead of blocking every bot with one broad rule.

Visibility has trade-offs

Blocking AI search crawlers may reduce how often your pages appear in AI-generated answers. Blocking training crawlers can still be a reasonable content protection choice.

Robots.txt is not security

Robots.txt communicates crawler preferences. Sensitive pages still need authentication, noindex rules, server access control, or WAF rules when real protection is required.

This site provides technical templates, not legal advice. Always review generated rules against your content strategy, crawler logs, and hosting setup before publishing.
