What is Gptbot?

GPTBot is the official web crawler developed and operated by OpenAI. Its primary function is to access and index publicly available web content to enhance the training datasets used for OpenAI's large language models, including the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) series. GPTBot identifies itself via the user agent 'gptbot' and adheres to the robots.txt protocol, allowing website administrators to control its access to their sites. The data collected by GPTBot is used to improve the accuracy, safety, and capabilities of OpenAI's AI systems. OpenAI provides documentation and transparency regarding GPTBot's operation, including guidance for webmasters on how to manage its crawling behavior. GPTBot does not intentionally access content behind paywalls or that is otherwise restricted, focusing instead on publicly accessible information.
