Understanding AI Crawlers

AI companies use web crawlers to gather content for both training their models and powering real-time browsing features. Understanding these crawlers helps you make informed decisions about your content.

Major AI Crawlers

  • GPTBot (OpenAI): Used for training data collection. Separate from ChatGPT-User which handles live browsing.
  • ClaudeBot (Anthropic): Claude's crawler for training purposes. Claude-Web handles real-time web access.
  • PerplexityBot: Powers Perplexity's real-time search capabilities.
  • Google-Extended: Google's AI-specific crawler for Bard/Gemini training.

Should you block AI crawlers?

This depends on your goals. If you want AI assistants to recommend your content, allow their crawlers. If you're concerned about training data usage, you can block specific crawlers while allowing others. Many businesses allow browsing bots but block training bots. Consider your content's value and how you want it used.
