Goal

Do you welcome agents?

Whether your robots policy, bot protection, and agent guidance actively admit AI agents instead of blocking them.

How we test

Evaluated robots.txt groups for the major AI agent user-agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, …).

How to pass

Add explicit User-agent groups allowing the AI agents you welcome; a blanket Disallow makes you invisible to them.
