AI Robots.txt Policy Generator

Choose a starting policy, inspect the snippet, and merge it with your existing robots.txt.

Custom policy: check crawlers to allow

robots.txt expresses preferences. It is not an access-control mechanism. Some user-triggered fetchers may ignore these rules. “All listed” covers this tool’s documented OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity records; it cannot cover every AI agent.

Merge carefully

Keep existing disallowed paths and sitemap declarations. A new specific group can replace the wildcard policy for that crawler, so copy any applicable path restrictions into the specific group. Review the completed file before publishing.
