4 of the 27 other AI crawlers we know are kept out: cohere-ai, Omgilibot, Omgili and ExaBot.
What it tells AI crawlers
It gives no Content Signals and no “noai” tag.
Like 32% of the 1,691 popular sites whose robots.txt we read in October 2026, it keeps at least one AI training crawler out. How many websites block AI crawlers?
We read the site once, as our named bot: its robots.txt, read as crawlers read it, its home page and the files AI tools ask sites for. What we couldn’t read says so. robots.txt asks and doesn’t enforce: a firewall can treat AI crawlers differently from us.
