What are AI bots?
AI bots are web crawlers used by AI companies to index content for their models. Examples include GPTBot (OpenAI/ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), and PerplexityBot. They work similarly to search engine crawlers like Googlebot.
What is robots.txt?
Robots.txt is a text file that tells web crawlers which pages they can or cannot access. It's placed in your website's root directory (e.g., example.com/robots.txt) and controls bot access to your site.
Why should I allow AI bots?
Allowing AI bots means your content can appear in AI-powered search results and chatbot responses (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity). Blocking them makes your content invisible to these AI systems.
How do I unblock AI bots?
Edit your robots.txt file to allow specific AI bots. For example, add "User-agent: GPTBot" followed by "Allow: /" to permit OpenAI's crawler. You can allow multiple bots with separate rules.
Which AI bots should I allow?
For maximum AI visibility, allow GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended (Gemini), and GrokBot (xAI). Each bot powers different AI platforms and search experiences.
Is this AI bot checker free?
Yes, this tool is completely free. It checks your robots.txt file against major AI bots to help you understand your AI visibility. No signup required for basic checks.
