As an AI training crawler, it collects public pages that may be used to train AI models. The kinds of AI agent that visit websites.
Should you allow it?
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. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.
How to allow or block KimiBot
KimiBot reads the KimiBot group in your robots.txt. To block it everywhere:
User-agent: KimiBot
Disallow: /To allow it everywhere, even if another rule blocks other bots:
User-agent: KimiBot
Allow: /Robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it, impostors don't. Robots.txt for AI agents.
How to tell if it's really KimiBot
Our registry doesn't verify KimiBot against published IP ranges yet, so treat a request that uses the name as a claim, not proof: anyone can send its user agent. Check Moonshot AI's documentation for how to verify it.
