What cohere-training-data-crawler means for your site
cohere-training-data-crawler downloads your content to include in datasets used to train AI models, with an undocumented operator. Your text becomes part of the AI's general knowledge, but without direct attribution or links. This is a key distinction: training crawlers take your content, AI assistants cite it. You can control training access via robots.txt without affecting citations.
What should you do?
- Decide whether you want this operator to train on your content
- Note: cohere-training-data-crawler does not respect robots.txt, server-side blocking required
- Monitor crawl patterns for unexpected spikes
- Review BotSights data to see which pages are targeted

How to identify cohere-training-data-crawler
cohere-training-data-crawler uses the user-agent "cohere-training-data-crawler" and robots.txt compliance unconfirmed. It crawls broadly and systematically, often downloading full page content.
cohere-training-data-crawlerHow to block cohere-training-data-crawler
Three robots.txt options below. Pick the one that matches your goal. Each snippet lists every known cohere-training-data-crawler user-agent pattern so the rules apply regardless of which one the bot announces. Compliance with robots.txt is unconfirmed for cohere-training-data-crawler, so verify with crawl logs after deploying.
Edit robots.txt with care
A single misplaced line can de-index your entire site. Common mistake: pasting User-agent: * followed by Disallow: / blocks every bot, not just cohere-training-data-crawler, including Googlebot. Always paste the snippet between existing rules (not over them), keep the User-agent line scoped to cohere-training-data-crawler's patterns, and verify with Google's robots.txt tester before deploying. If you are not sure, ask a developer first.
Option 1: Block all access
Tells cohere-training-data-crawler not to crawl any URL on your site. Use this when you want the bot completely off your content.
User-agent: cohere-training-data-crawler
Disallow: /Option 2: Block specific paths only
Keep public content crawlable but exclude sensitive or non-public sections. Add one Disallow: line per path. Replace the example paths with your own.
User-agent: cohere-training-data-crawler
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
Disallow: /checkout/Option 3: Slow down with a crawl delay
Crawl-delay is a voluntary directive that asks the bot to wait the given number of seconds between requests. Useful when cohere-training-data-crawler is hammering your origin and slowing the site down for real visitors, but you do not want to block it outright. The value is in seconds, so 10 means at most one request every ten seconds. Not all bots honour this directive (Googlebot ignores it; Bingbot, Yandex, and many AI crawlers do respect it).
User-agent: cohere-training-data-crawler
Crawl-delay: 10Frequently Asked Questions
What is the User-Agent for cohere-training-data-crawler?
cohere-training-data-crawler identifies itself with the User-Agent string "cohere-training-data-crawler". Use this exact string in robots.txt rules to control access.
Can I stop cohere-training-data-crawler from using my content for AI training?
Compliance with robots.txt is unconfirmed for cohere-training-data-crawler. Try the robots.txt rule first, but verify with crawl logs that the bot stops appearing.
Will blocking cohere-training-data-crawler affect my AI citations?
No. cohere-training-data-crawler is a training crawler, separate from real-time AI assistants. Real-time AI assistants use separate user-agents and are not affected by blocking training crawlers.
What's the difference between cohere-training-data-crawler and an AI assistant bot?
cohere-training-data-crawler crawls broadly to build training datasets — your content becomes part of the model's general knowledge but without direct attribution or links. AI assistant bots (like ChatGPT-User, Claude-User) fetch specific pages in response to user prompts and cite sources back. They use separate User-Agents and can be controlled independently.
How do I verify that a request is really from cohere-training-data-crawler?
User-Agent alone is not enough — anyone can claim to be cohere-training-data-crawler. The operator may publish IP ranges or reverse-DNS verification in their crawler docs. BotSights flags spoofed traffic automatically.
Is my content being used without permission?
Training crawlers collect publicly accessible content. The legal landscape around this is rapidly evolving (lawsuits in the US, EU AI Act, etc.). Robots.txt remains the most practical opt-out mechanism today, plus emerging standards like ai.txt.
How often does cohere-training-data-crawler crawl?
Training crawlers usually visit periodically — weekly or monthly waves rather than daily. If you see sudden spikes, monitor whether the bot is honoring Crawl-delay directives in your robots.txt.
