AI companies use their own crawlers, and robots.txt is where you allow or block them. This free generator writes the rules for the main AI user agents, including OpenAI's GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot, Anthropic's ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and Common Crawl's CCBot, in your browser.

## Free AI robots.txt generator

## What does this AI robots.txt generator do?

It lets you choose, crawler by crawler, whether AI training crawlers and AI search crawlers may access your site, then outputs robots.txt groups you can paste into your existing file. A common choice for businesses that want to be recommended by AI assistants is to allow search crawlers and decide separately about training crawlers.

## How to create a robots.txt file for AI crawlers

1. **Choose your policy** — Allow everything, block AI training only, or pick crawler by crawler.
2. **Review the rules** — Check the generated User-agent and Disallow lines and keep your existing rules for search engines.
3. **Update robots.txt** — Paste the rules into the robots.txt at your domain root and test a few URLs.

## Free tool: frequently asked questions

### Will blocking GPTBot remove me from ChatGPT answers?

Not necessarily. OpenAI uses GPTBot for model training and OAI-SearchBot for ChatGPT's search features, and blocking one does not block the other. If you want to appear in ChatGPT search results, keep OAI-SearchBot allowed, and decide separately whether GPTBot may train on your content.

### What is Google-Extended?

Google-Extended is a robots.txt token that controls whether Google may use your content to train and ground its Gemini models. It is not a separate crawler, and blocking it does not affect your Google Search ranking or indexing; Googlebot rules continue to control search.

### Do all crawlers obey robots.txt?

Reputable crawlers from search engines and major AI companies do, but robots.txt is a public request, not a lock, and bad bots can ignore it. Protect anything private with authentication, and use server rules or a firewall to block abusive crawlers that ignore your file.
