From inputs to a decision
Paste a robots.txt file and evaluate whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, and other AI crawlers are allowed or blocked on a chosen path — including when they only inherit the * group.
- 01
Paste your robots.txt contents.

Optionally set a path to test (default /).
- 03
Review allow/block status per AI crawler.
- 04
Fix gaps, then generate snippets with llms.txt Generator.
Tips for better results
- Empty Disallow means allow all for that group.
- Longest matching Allow/Disallow wins for a path.
- Treat AI answers as snapshots — re-run after content or schema changes.
Frequently asked questions
- Do bots always obey robots.txt?
- No. robots.txt is a convention, not a contract. Pair blocks with Terms of Service and an llms.txt policy statement.
- What if a bot is not listed?
- It inherits rules from User-agent: * when present. Explicit groups override the wildcard for named agents.
