AI Bots, such as OpenAI's GPTBot, Google's Google-Extended, and Anthropic's ClaudeBot, are specialized web crawlers designed to gather data for training and powering Large Language Models (LLMs). Unlike traditional web crawlers that primarily index content for search engine results pages, AI bots collect vast amounts of text, images, and other data to build and update the knowledge base of AI models. They may have different crawling behaviors and user-agent strings, and it is crucial to allow them access to your site for your content to be considered in AI-generated answers.
