# ai.robots.txt This is an open list of web crawlers associated with AI companies and the training of LLMs to block. We encourage you to contribute to and implement this list on your own site. A number of these crawlers have been sourced from [Dark Visitors](https://darkvisitors.com) and we appreciate the ongoing effort they put in to track these crawlers. If you'd like to add information about a crawler to the list, please make a pull request with the bot name added to `robots.txt`, `ai.txt`, and any relevant details in `table-of-bot-metrics.md` to help people understand what's crawling. ## Subscribe to updates You can subscribe to list updates via RSS/Atom with the releases feed: ``` https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/releases.atom ``` You can subscribe with [Feedly](https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed/https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/releases.atom), [Inoreader](https://www.inoreader.com/?add_feed=https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/releases.atom), [The Old Reader](https://theoldreader.com/feeds/subscribe?url=https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/releases.atom), [Feedbin](https://feedbin.me/?subscribe=https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/releases.atom), or any other reader app. ## Additional resources - [Blocking Bots with Nginx](https://rknight.me/blog/blocking-bots-with-nginx/) by Robb Knight - [Blockin' bots.](https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/blockin-bots/) by Ethan Marcotte - [Blocking Bots With 11ty And Apache](https://flamedfury.com/posts/blocking-bots-with-11ty-and-apache/) by fLaMEd fury - [Blockin' bots on Netlify](https://www.jeremiak.com/blog/block-bots-netlify-edge-functions/) by Jeremia Kimelman --- Thank you to [Glyn](https://github.com/glyn) for pushing [me](https://coryd.dev) to set this up after [I posted about blocking these crawlers](https://coryd.dev/posts/2024/go-ahead-and-block-ai-web-crawlers/).
