The AI crawler directory
Every AI assistant, search index, and training crawler that might visit a website: what it does, whether its traffic can be verified, and how to allow or block it. Built from the providers’ own published sources.
Look up any crawler
Search by crawler or provider, or filter by what the bot is for. Every entry links to its own page with verification guidance, sample IP ranges where the provider publishes them, and ready-made robots.txt lines.
