AI Bot Access Control

The AI Bot Access Control section lets you choose which listed AI bots can access your LLMs.txt file.

The current interface includes bots/services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Google Bard/Gemini, Perplexity AI, Bing Chat/Copilot, You.com, Character.AI, CCBot, Anthropic AI, DeepSeek, Grok, Qwen AI, Meta Llama, Cohere, Mistral AI, and Hugging Face.

Unchecked bots are handled according to the blocking behavior described in the Bot Manager interface.

Content Selection

Bot Manager lets you choose which website content should be included when generating LLMs.txt.

You can select:

  • Post Types
  • Taxonomies
  • Maximum Posts/Terms per type
  • Additional custom content

The exact Post Types and Taxonomies available depend on what is registered on the WordPress website.

Robots.txt

The Robots.txt tab provides an editor for managing your website’s robots.txt content.

From this area, you can:

  • Edit robots.txt
  • Save changes
  • Validate the file
  • Reset it to default
  • Apply an enhanced configuration
  • Delete the custom robots.txt

Where Should I Start?

If you are using Bot Manager for the first time, first review the LLMs.txt configuration.

Choose which AI bots you want to allow, select the content you want included, and then generate and review the file before saving it.

After that, review your Robots.txt configuration separately.
