Agent Type
Expected Behavior
AI agents are autonomous programs that browse websites to complete tasks on behalf of human users or systems. Unlike traditional bots that follow simple scripts, AI agents can make decisions, navigate through multi-page workflows, interact with forms, and adapt their behavior based on page content. They typically execute JavaScript, handle cookies and sessions, and may spend varying amounts of time on pages while processing information. Request patterns can be unpredictable since they depend on the agent's goals rather than following fixed crawl paths.

Should I Block ChatGPT Agent?
Probably not. AI agents visit websites to complete tasks for human users, so blocking them will effectively block those users from being productive. This could lead to negative sentiment about your website. Not blocking AI agents will allow more human users to use your website as they choose.
How Do I Block ChatGPT Agent?
You can block ChatGPT Agent or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Editing Is Not Scalable
New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
