Yup, here is an example with all listed agents, although you probably want to modify it to not fully block all of them: https://darkvisitors.com/robots-txt-builder

You're not missing anything, they're just for any humans reading the file who want to know more about the agent. This is also just an example file.

Right here: https://darkvisitors.com/robots-txt-builder

This example blocks everything, which is probably not what you want, but it's meant to be a starting point.

Hi all, I made this site. I wasn't expecting this post, but happy to answer questions and take feedback.

Hopefully it's pretty self-explanatory but I made this website as a simple resource for people who want to stay up to date with the ever-changing cast of AI user agents.

Feel free to sign up with the Google Form to get notified when this list is updated. And if you know of any agents I'm missing, please submit them. Thanks!
