PerplexityBot

Perplexity AI's web crawler used to power Perplexity's AI search answers with real-time web content.

PerplexityBot crawls websites to provide real-time source attribution in Perplexity's AI answers. Blocking PerplexityBot via robots.txt prevents your content from being cited in Perplexity's responses. Unlike ChatGPT which uses GPTBot, Perplexity uses real-time crawling for answer generation, making PerplexityBot access more immediately valuable for traffic.
