AI crawler robots.txt generator
One file, two independent decisions: which answer engines may read and cite your
pages , and which crawlers may take your content for training . Blocking the first makes you
invisible to citations; blocking the second changes nothing about how you appear in answers. This page writes
both groups explicitly and adds the private paths and the Sitemap line. Everything happens in your browser;
nothing is sent anywhere.
1. Your site and the paths that stay private
Site, bare host
Private paths, one per line (these get Disallow)
2. The two decisions
Training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, ...)
Allow — let them take the content
Disallow — training only, citations unaffected
Citation crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, ...)
Allow — they may read and cite the pages
Block — they may not read the pages at all
Your robots.txt
Copy the file
Checks
A robots.txt decision only counts if the page it protects can be read once it is
allowed: is the page
quotable at all , the
llms.txt that carries the same facts in one file ,
the Q&A markup that
makes an answer quotable .
Agent-readable version of the same rules:
llms.txt ·
robots.txt in the wild .

Also: A/B verdict calculator — was the difference separated from zero, and was the volume ever above the floor the observed lift needs?
Also: honest test queue planner — turn volume into a queue: the floor per arm, the days each test needs and the day each verdict lands.
Also: what one honest test costs to finish — the contacts a verdict needs, the days it takes and how many funded tests a budget carries.
Also: which step of your funnel can fund a verdict — the floor, the events each arm sees in a month, and the months a readable unit takes at your volume.
Also: which of your channels can actually fund a verdict — floor per arm, months to verdict, the cost of one full two-arm test and the channel to run first at your volume.
