Crawler operated by aiHit
What aiHit's crawlers are for
aiHit runs 1 crawler in our database. Grouped by the job each one does:
- a training crawler:
aiHitBot
The highest-priority token is Tier 2. That puts aiHit among the operators whose crawlers have a direct effect on whether AI answers or search results can include your pages.
How site owners treat aiHit
How often site owners write rules for aiHit's tokens, from our own robots.txt study of the Tranco top 10,000:
| Token | Files naming it | Files blocking it |
|---|---|---|
aiHitBot | 99 (1.8%) | Not measured |
A aiHit token can be blocked without being named, through a User-agent: * group with Disallow: /, so its blocking share can be higher than its naming share.
All counts come from 5,583 valid files fetched October 20, 2026.
Writing one policy for aiHit
A robots.txt file cannot say "aiHit"; it can only name aiHit's tokens, one group at a time. With a single token, one group is the whole policy.
# One token controls everything aiHit fetches through it
User-agent: aiHitBot
Disallow: /private/
Allow: /- Decide per job, not per company. Training, search and user-triggered fetching have different trade-offs, even from the same operator.
- Name every token you mean. A token you leave out follows
User-agent: *. - Repeat shared rules. A named group ignores the
*group, so copy anyDisallowlines you still want it to obey. - Verify from outside. Run the AI crawler tester after any change to see the result for each aiHit token, including firewall refusals.
Test yourself: does User-agent: aiHit block all of aiHit's crawlers?
No. robots.txt matches crawler tokens, not company names. Use the token aiHitBot.
Test yourself: if you block one aiHit token, are the others blocked too?
No. Each token is read separately. Blocking one leaves the rest following whatever group applies to them.
Each aiHit crawler, explained
A one-paragraph brief for every aiHit token in our database, covering what it does, how it treats robots.txt and how often large sites write rules for it:
- aiHit Data (
aiHitBot, Tier 2): a training crawler that collects pages to train AI models. Rated caution. aiHit Data's operator does not clearly document how it treats robots.txt. Write the aiHit Data rule anyway, then confirm in your logs that its requests stop. 1.8% of top-site robots.txt files name it.
Common mistakes with aiHit's crawlers
The errors we see most often with aiHit's crawlers in the files and firewalls we test:
- Assuming that blocking aiHit's crawlers removes you from AI answers. It is a training crawler; AI answers are fed by retrieval and user-triggered crawlers with different tokens.
- Blocking aiHit's crawlers with a broad
User-agent: *rule that also catches search engines. NameaiHitBotin its own group instead. - Expecting a aiHit's crawlers block to remove content already collected. robots.txt only affects future visits.
All three hide inside a file that looks correct, so check aiHit's crawlers from outside after every change.
What our own data shows about aiHit
Everything below comes from the AI Crawler Check bot database and our two most recent robots.txt scans of the Tranco top 10,000, not from aiHit's marketing. aiHit has one token in our database, so the whole picture fits in one place.
aiHitBot in our records
We first recorded aiHitBot on June 18, 2026. We could not find a page where aiHit names it, so treat the token as reported rather than documented. aiHitBot is outside our tracked token set, but 99 of 5,583 top-site files already name it, which is enough to show owners treat it as a real crawler.
Among the 104 AI and LLM crawlers in our database, aiHitBot sits 18th by priority (Tier 2), level with AddSearchBot, AI2Bot, AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval, AIWebIndex. 22 of the 104 share its caution rating. Other operators with a crawler that collects pages to train AI models: ClaudeBot (Anthropic, Tier 1), Google-Extended (Google, Tier 1), GPTBot (OpenAI, Tier 1), Meta-ExternalAgent (Meta, Tier 1), AI2Bot (Allen Institute for AI, Tier 2). A policy for aiHitBot is usually a policy for these too.
A decision record for aiHitBot
Teams that review crawlers once a quarter keep one short entry per token, so anyone can see why a rule exists and when it was last checked. Filled in from our data, the aiHitBot entry reads:
- Operator and job: aiHit; it collects pages to train AI models.
- Priority and behaviour: Tier 2, rated caution, blocking impact low.
- Suggested starting point: Your licensing call: Disallow to refuse training, Allow to permit it.
- Enforcement: aiHitBot's operator does not clearly document how it treats robots.txt. Write the aiHitBot rule anyway, then confirm in your logs that its requests stop.
User-agent: aiHitBot
Allow: /Paste the line into the validator with one of your own URLs before it goes live. Revisit the aiHitBot entry sooner than most: a caution rating means aiHit traffic deserves a monthly look at your logs.
Checking aiHitBot on your own site
Because aiHit runs only aiHitBot in our records, one check covers the whole operator. Search your access logs for the string aiHitBot over the last 30 days, note how many requests it made and which paths it asked for, then compare that with what your robots.txt allows. aiHit publishes no page about the crawler that we could find, so judge it by the requests you actually see rather than by its name. A Tier 2 crawler rated caution is worth confirming every month, and our log checker does the counting for you.
How top sites treat aiHit's crawlers
From our robots.txt study of the Tranco top 10,000 (5,583 valid files, fetched October 20, 2026):
None of the tokens for aiHit's crawlers is tracked by name in our study. For scale, 20.1% of top-site files block at least one AI training crawler and 4.3% refuse every unnamed crawler with User-agent: * and Disallow: /, which would catch aiHit's crawlers too.
More questions about aiHit
- Will blocking aiHit affect my Google rankings?
- Only if one of its tokens is a Google search crawler. None of aiHit's tokens are Googlebot, so classic Google rankings are unaffected.
- How quickly does a robots.txt change take effect for aiHit?
- Crawlers cache robots.txt, commonly for up to a day. Expect a change to apply within about 24 hours, and confirm it in your logs.
- Can I allow aiHit on some sections and block it on others?
- Yes. Inside the group for
aiHitBot, addDisallowlines for the paths to keep private andAllowlines for exceptions. The longest matching rule wins. - Does blocking aiHit delete content it already collected?
- No. robots.txt only controls future visits. For content already collected, check whether aiHit offers a removal or opt-out process.
- Is a firewall block better than robots.txt for aiHit?
- A firewall enforces the decision, while robots.txt asks politely. Many operators recommend robots.txt because blocking their IPs can stop them reading your rules at all. Use robots.txt first, and add a firewall rule only if requests continue.
A five-minute aiHit review
- Confirm the token. Compare the user-agent in your logs with the tokens listed on this page. A close spelling is not the same crawler.
- Decide the outcome per crawler. Use the briefs above to choose allow, limit or block for each token.
- Write the group. Add or edit one
User-agentgroup per decision and repeat any shared rules inside it. - Publish and wait. Allow about a day for crawlers to fetch the new file.
- Confirm the result. Check your logs, then run the AI crawlability test to see the outcome from outside, including any firewall layer.
How to block or allow aiHit in robots.txt
This rule covers the single crawler aiHit operates. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your domain.
Block aiHit completely
User-agent: aiHitBot
Disallow: /
Allow aiHit explicitly
User-agent: aiHitBot
Allow: /
These aiHit rules ask; they do not enforce. If a aiHit token ignores them, block it at the server or CDN. Paths are case-sensitive, and each rule matches the token, not the full user-agent string.
