# AI bots

> Decide which AI bots can read your site, train on it or cite you.

Source page: https://docs.jazui.com/panel/ai-bots/en

Not all AI bots do the same thing. Jazui groups them by **use**:

- **Training**: they collect content to train models (for example GPTBot, CCBot or Google-Extended).
- **Search**: they index for an AI search engine's answers (for example OAI-SearchBot or PerplexityBot).
- **User-triggered**: they read a page because someone asked the assistant (for example ChatGPT-User or Claude-User).

Blocking training bots is your call; blocking search or user-triggered bots means AI can't cite you.

## What you can do with each

**Site settings › AI bots** has the full list, with each bot's company, use, and requests and rejections over the last 30 days (those that visited you first). For each one:

| Policy | Effect |
|---|---|
| **Allow** (default) | Gets your rendered pages like any bot. |
| **Block** | Gets a `403` from Jazui (`X-Jazui-Blocked: ai-bot`). Only for bots that go through your integration. |
| **Block and robots.txt** | Also adds `Disallow: /` for that bot to the robots.txt Jazui generates, so bots that respect robots.txt don't even try. |

There are bulk actions, including **Block training bots**. Some (such as Google-Extended or Applebot-Extended) don't visit pages: they only exist in robots.txt, so they only offer «Block and robots.txt».

## llms.txt and Markdown for AI

To help AI understand you better, Jazui publishes for each verified site an `llms.txt` (your site's index for language models) and a **Markdown** version of every blog article, linked from its `<head>`. The llms.txt description is written in **Site settings › Sitemap and robots.txt**. How to publish them on your domain is in [Sitemap, robots and llms.txt](https://docs.jazui.com/llms/en/api-site-files.txt).

## Measuring

In [Bot traffic](https://docs.jazui.com/llms/en/panel-traffic.txt) you see how many requests AI bots make, and in the **Visits from AI** tab, how many people reach your website from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and other assistants' answers. With [How AI sees you](https://docs.jazui.com/llms/en/panel-ai-scan.txt) you check what an AI bot reads from any page.
