Moonshot AI's AI agents and crawlers

Moonshot AI runs 4 agents that visit websites: 1 AI assistant, 1 AI and search crawler, 1 autonomous agent, 1 AI training crawler. Here's what each one does, and how to let them in or keep them out.

AI assistants

Fetches pages for a person, in real time, while they use an AI assistant. Almost always allow it. Blocking it means the assistant can't read your pages when a customer asks about you, so it answers from somewhere else.

  • Kimi-User: Fetches a page for someone using Kimi, Moonshot AI's assistant.

Indexes pages so a search engine or AI search tool can find, cite and link to them. Allow it, unless you deliberately want to stay out of that search engine. Blocking it removes you from its results and answers.

  • Kimi-SearchBot

Autonomous agents

Uses a website like a person would, clicking, typing and filling in forms to finish a task for someone. Make your journeys work for it. Many browser agents look like an ordinary browser, so you can't reliably block them by name; test whether they can finish your key tasks instead.

  • Kimi-Agent: Kimi's browsing agent, which visits sites while it carries out research and tasks for a user.

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.

  • KimiBot: Moonshot AI's crawler, which may collect data for training its Kimi models.

Robots.txt for every Moonshot AI agent

To keep Moonshot AI's training crawlers out but still let its assistants, search and agents in:

User-agent: KimiBot
Disallow: /

To block every Moonshot AI agent that reads robots.txt. This also keeps out the ones acting for your customers and the ones that send you visitors, so think twice:

User-agent: Kimi-Agent
User-agent: Kimi-User
User-agent: KimiBot
User-agent: Kimi-SearchBot
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 Moonshot AI

Our registry doesn't verify Moonshot AI'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 Moonshot AI 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.
