Block bedrockbot if you want more control over whether your work is used for AI training. Allowing it may increase the chance that your brand appears in AI-generated answers, but either choice leaves traditional search rankings unchanged. For context, 9% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for bedrockbot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From bedrockbot?

bedrockbot tends to make broad, high-volume sweeps across many pages. Timing is unpredictable: traffic may remain heavy throughout a collection pass, then stop entirely.

Does bedrockbot Follow Robots.txt Rules?

bedrockbot is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step if you want to block it. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether bedrockbot respects it.

Is bedrockbot Used for AI Model Training?

Yes. bedrockbot collects web content for use in AI training datasets. Blocking it limits future collection but cannot remove content that was collected previously.

Does Blocking bedrockbot Affect AI Search or Citations?

Not directly. Blocking bedrockbot limits collection for AI training rather than controlling a live AI search index or citation system.

Does bedrockbot Access Private Content?

Not through legitimate access. bedrockbot primarily targets public content, but some training-data scrapers also attempt to collect gated or paywalled pages. If content loads without authentication, assume it can be collected.

How Can I Verify a Request From bedrockbot?

Agent Analytics tracks bedrockbot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "bedrockbot". Look for high page counts, short gaps between requests, and deep traversal through linked content. Because bedrockbot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.

How Is bedrockbot Different From Other Amazon Agents?
