ClaudeBot

Anthropic's indexing robot used to train and improve Claude models.

What is ClaudeBot?

ClaudeBot is Anthropic's web crawler, identified by the user-agent 'ClaudeBot' or 'Claude-Web'. It collects data to train and improve Claude models. As with GPTBot, you can control its access via robots.txt. Allowing ClaudeBot enables your content to be considered in the Claude ecosystem.

How Qwairy Makes This Actionable

Qwairy specifically tracks ClaudeBot visits to your website. Monitor how frequently Anthropic's crawler indexes your content and which pages it prioritizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both crawl for AI training, but ClaudeBot serves Claude (Anthropic) while GPTBot serves ChatGPT (OpenAI). ClaudeBot may have different crawl patterns and priorities based on Claude's training goals. Allow both to maximize visibility across major AI platforms. Blocking one but not the other creates uneven AI visibility—users on different platforms see different information about your brand.
