AI training crawlers collect web content as training material for large language models. They bring no direct traffic — your content ends up in the model and influences future AI answers. Most honour robots.txt, some are more aggressive than search engine crawlers.
BotScope aggregates every GrokBot request in your session: which URLs it prefers, how many 4xx/5xx responses it gets, whether it crawls from one or many IPs, and what time window it's particularly active in.

If you don't want GrokBot to crawl your site, add the following block to your /robots.txt. This works only for bots that honour robots.txt — malicious crawlers ignore it.
