AI crawlers are the automated bots that AI companies use to fetch web pages, either to train models or to answer user questions in real time. Each one identifies itself with a user-agent name, such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot. Site owners can allow or block them in robots.txt, and sometimes they are blocked by accident by a firewall or CDN setting. Knowing which bot does what helps you decide which ones to let in. Articles under this tag cover crawler names, access rules, logs and common mistakes.
