About CrawlerPolicy

CrawlerPolicy is an independent, free web project built to analyze and generate robots.txt and Content-Signal policies for AI crawlers. It is designed for publishers deciding how search, AI training, and AI input crawlers may use their content. The tool runs without an account and aims to turn a narrow technical task into a clear, repeatable workflow.

What this site provides

Crawler controls are explained with their practical limits. The site avoids promising that a robots directive is legal enforcement and encourages publishers to combine policy, licensing, and monitoring.

Where practical, processing happens locally in the browser. That design improves speed and reduces unnecessary collection of technical material. The project is not affiliated with Google, Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI, or the maintainers of any protocol mentioned unless a page explicitly says otherwise.

Editorial principles

• Explain checks and outputs in plain English.
• Keep examples useful, reproducible, and free of real credentials.
• Update material when the underlying specifications or common tools change.
• State important limitations instead of presenting automated output as professional advice.
