Enterprise AI Crawler & Content Governance
Control which AI bots can read which content, with a clear policy your legal team can approve.
AI companies use different crawlers for different purposes: some power AI search answers, some collect data for model training, and some act for individual users. Blocking all of them can remove you from AI search; allowing all of them may not suit confidential or licensed content.
AppSage helps marketing, IT and legal teams agree a clear AI access policy, then implements and monitors it across robots.txt, your CDN or firewall and your website, so you stay visible in AI search while protecting what should stay private.

FAQ
AI crawler & content governance: common questions
Should we block AI crawlers?
It depends on your goals. Blocking AI search crawlers can reduce visibility in AI answers, while some businesses choose to block training crawlers for certain content. We help you decide section by section and document the reasons.
Is robots.txt enough?
Robots.txt is a request that reputable crawlers follow, not a security control. Sensitive content also needs login protection or firewall rules, which we can set up.
Do you need access to our servers?
We need read access to server or CDN logs for the audit, and either access or your IT team's support to implement rules. We work under NDA.
