<p>Protect Your Content from AI Scraping</p>
<p>This plugin helps you prevent AI crawlers from using your content as training data for their products. By updating your site’s <code>robots.txt</code>, it blocks common AI crawlers and scrapers, aiming to protect your content from being used in the training of Large Language Models (LLMs).</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h3>Blocks AI Crawlers</h3>
<p>Includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI</strong> – Blocks crawlers used for ChatGPT</li>
<li><strong>Google</strong> – Blocks crawlers used by Google’s Gemini AI products</li>

</ul>
<h3>Experimental Meta Tags</h3>
<p>The plugin adds the “noai, noimageai” directive to your site’s meta tags, instructing AI bots not to use your content in their datasets. Please note that these tags are experimental and have not been standardized.</p>
<h3>Custom robots.txt Rules</h3>
<p>Have custom entries for your robots.txt file? You can now add them directly through the plugin!</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>

<h3>Limitations</h3>
<p>While this plugin aims to block specified crawlers, it cannot guarantee complete protection against all forms of scraping, as some bots may disregard <code>robots.txt</code> directives.</p>
