GPTBot

GPTBot is OpenAI's web crawler, identified by the user-agent string "GPTBot." It crawls websites to gather information that may be used to improve AI models including ChatGPT. Website owners can control GPTBot access through robots.txt rules. Allowing GPTBot access is generally recommended for GEO because blocking it prevents your content from being included in ChatGPT's knowledge and citation pools.
