DeepSeek's AI agents and crawlers
DeepSeek runs one agent that visit websites: 1 AI training crawler. Here's what each one does, and how to let them in or keep them out.
AI training crawlers
Collects public pages that may be used to train AI models. A real business choice. Lean towards blocking if your content is the product (publishing, research, courses); lean towards allowing if your pages exist to sell something else.
- DeepSeekBot: A crawler run by DeepSeek, the company behind the DeepSeek AI models.
Robots.txt for every DeepSeek agent
To block every DeepSeek agent that reads robots.txt:
User-agent: DeepSeekBot
Disallow: /Robots.txt is a request, not a lock, and some agents that act for a person in real time may not read it. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.
How to tell if it's really DeepSeek
Our registry doesn't verify DeepSeek's agents against published IP ranges, so treat a request that uses one of their names as a claim, not proof. Ghost Agent Lab reports these requests as unverified rather than guessing.
Which DeepSeek agents visit your site? Ghost Agent Lab reads your CDN or server logs and shows every request from them: what they read, what your site sent back, and whether each one was genuine. See agent traffic, or check whether AI agents can use your site for free.
