robots.txt generator for AI crawlers
Choose which AI crawlers to allow or block, in 1 click or bot by bot. Output as robots.txt, Nginx, .htaccess. Comparator on an existing site.
This tool creates and merges a robots.txt targeting AI crawlers, and analyzes that of an existing site.
Decide which AI crawlers to let through based on their usage: LLM training, AI indexing, user-action. Set it up in 1 click (preset), by category or bot by bot, with export to robots.txt, Nginx and .htaccess. You can import your existing robots.txt: only the AI bot blocks are regenerated, everything else is kept (global rules, per-directory Allow/Disallow, Sitemaps, other robots). 188 AI bots tracked (see the full watch), updated automatically.
Creating and merging robots.txt
1. Choose a preset
2. By bot type
Applies the action to every bot in the category and pre-selects them in part 3. Bots set manually are preserved.
3. By bot (optional)
Optional: by default each bot follows its type. Only open this list to set a specific bot.

Analyze a site
Check the robots.txt of an existing site: the tool lists the AI crawlers already blocked and those still getting through, and you can add the uncovered bots to your configuration in one click. Handy for benchmarking a competitor.
Analyze an existing site
Enter a domain (with or without https://): we fetch its /robots.txt and list the AI bots covered / not covered.
Check your robots.txt before publishing it
Once your robots.txt is generated, test it with the Robots.txt Checker: it checks whether your URLs are allowed or blocked, for Googlebot and AI bots, and spots anomalies.
