AI.txt and Robots.json Checker/Generator

AI.txt and Robots.json files are emerging standards for controlling how AI models and training crawlers access your website. Similar to robots.txt for search engines, these files help you specify which parts of your site AI models can access for training or real-time use.

The AI.txt file uses the same format as robots.txt but is specifically for AI crawlers like GPTBot (OpenAI), Claude-Web (Anthropic), and others. The Robots.json file provides the same functionality in a structured JSON format, which some AI services prefer.

While these standards are still evolving, implementing them now gives you more control over how AI models interact with your content.

To test existing AI.txt and Robots.json files, enter a website URL in the "Test AI Files" tab. The tool will check for both files and display their contents if found. This helps you understand how other websites are managing AI access.

To create your own files, use the "Generate" tab. You can add rules for specific AI crawlers and paths, or use the "Add Common Rules" button to start with recommended settings. The tool generates both AI.txt and Robots.json formats simultaneously.

After generating your files, you can download them or copy the content to implement on your website. Place AI.txt and Robots.json in your website's root directory (e.g., https://example.com/ai.txt).

When managing AI crawler access, consider these common practices:

• Block access to admin areas, user data, and sensitive content
• Allow access to public blog posts and resources that benefit from AI integration
• Use specific rules for different AI services based on their use cases
• Consider blocking training crawlers (like CCBot) while allowing real-time AI access
• Regularly update your rules as new AI crawlers emerge

Remember that these files are requests, not strict barriers. Well-behaved AI services will respect your rules, but you should also implement proper security measures for sensitive content.

Our AI file generator simplifies the process of creating properly formatted AI.txt and Robots.json files. It includes pre-configured rules for major AI services and ensures your files follow the latest standards.

The tool generates both file formats simultaneously, helping you reach the widest range of AI services. It includes common security recommendations while allowing you to customize rules for your specific needs.

By using this tool, you can quickly implement AI access controls and stay ahead of the evolving AI landscape while protecting your content and users.
