What is bedrockbot?

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, 2% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for bedrockbot.

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

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.

Your content matched the criteria Amazon set for a training dataset. bedrockbot typically discovers pages through external links, sitemaps, and seed lists rather than because someone selected your site individually.

Agent Analytics tracks bedrockbot visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. 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.
