For twenty years, one crawler decided whether the world could find you: Googlebot. Today there are dozens — GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot from OpenAI, ClaudeBot from Anthropic, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Meta-ExternalAgent, and more. Each one is controlled by your robots.txt file, and a single misplaced line can quietly make your business invisible to every AI assistant your customers ask for recommendations.
The most important distinction: training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot) collect content to train future models, while search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot) fetch pages to answer live questions with citations. Blocking training bots protects your content; blocking search bots costs you customers. This checker separates the two so you can decide deliberately instead of accidentally.
It reads your robots.txt and reports whether AI bots such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended are allowed to read your website.
Blocking GPTBot stops OpenAI training on your content but does not remove you from ChatGPT search answers — OAI-SearchBot controls that. Many sites block training bots and allow search bots.
Without a robots.txt file, every crawler is allowed by default — including every AI bot. That is fine if you want maximum visibility, but you have no control.
