# Check AI Crawler Access to Your Site

AI-powered search engines are sending their own crawlers to index the web -- GPTBot for ChatGPT, ClaudeBot for Claude, PerplexityBot for Perplexity. If your robots.txt blocks these crawlers, your content is invisible to AI search. Many sites block them without realizing the traffic implications.

The check_ai_crawlers skill tests whether major AI crawlers can access your site. It checks robots.txt rules, response codes, and any explicit blocks that would prevent AI indexing. You get a clear pass/fail for each crawler.

This is the first step in any Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategy. Before optimizing content for AI discovery, you need to confirm the crawlers can reach it. A single misconfigured robots.txt rule can make your entire site invisible to AI search results.
