robots.txt Generator

Separate search crawlers from AI training crawlers in one readable file.

robots.txt

Choose settings and generate the file.
How this works

Presets follow what the token is for.

  • The training preset disallows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and the other training or control tokens.
  • That same preset leaves search and answer tokens such as Googlebot, Bingbot and OAI-SearchBot allowed.
  • Blocking every non-search AI token also blocks user-triggered fetchers, which can break a person asking a model to open your page.
Limitations

This file is not an access-control firewall.

  • robots.txt asks compliant crawlers to behave. It does not protect logged-in, paid or private URLs.
  • Block everything ignores extra paths and closes the wildcard group.
  • Test the exact tokens you care about before publishing. Provider names change.
Data approach

Submitted addresses are not stored to build a persistent user profile.

A URL check sends a server-side request to the target site. Do not submit local-network, metadata, authenticated or private addresses.

Sources

The checks follow public specifications and official documentation.
