GPTBot

GPTBot is OpenAI's training crawler, distinct from OAI-SearchBot which builds the ChatGPT search index.

Why it matters

Blocking GPTBot does not remove a site from ChatGPT's search results, because that index is fetched by a different agent.

How it is measured

Fetch robots.txt and confirm GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot have separate, intentional rules.
