The Great GPT Firewall 📛

This collection is a curated list of websites that employ the robots.txt file to restrict access to AI Agents, AI crawlers and GPTs.

It will be updated monthly.

We need a plan!

User agents & robots.txt

The robots.txt file allows website owners to control and limit the access of these user agents to certain areas of their website by specifying rules and directives.
