Robots.txt control token letting publishers decide whether Google may use crawled content to train and ground its Gemini AI models.
Google-Extended is Google's robots.txt control token for managing whether your content can be used to train and ground its generative AI models, including Gemini. It is not a separate crawler: crawling is still done by Googlebot, and Google-Extended controls how the crawled content may be used. Site owners can block Google-Extended in robots.txt without affecting their traditional SEO rankings. This gives publishers control: allow Google Search indexing while blocking AI training, or allow both for maximum visibility.
Qwairy checks whether your robots.txt allows Google-Extended as part of its crawlability analysis. Know at a glance whether your content can be used to train and ground Google's Gemini models, alongside the rest of your AI crawler directives.
