Monitor
AI access
Check whether AI crawlers can reach your site.
The AI Access tab reads your robots.txt and reports which AI bots are allowed or blocked.
| Bot type | Examples | Effect of blocking |
|---|---|---|
| Search and answer bots | OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Bingbot | Answers can't read or cite your pages |
| Training bots | GPTBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot, CCBot | No effect on citation |
Blocking a search or answer bot is treated as a hard gate in the diagnosis. A robots.txt that can't be read is shown as unknown.
