cohere-training-data-crawler
Listed by community directories as a Cohere training crawler. Cohere's own page says it is not currently crawling for training and that any future crawler will respect robots.txt.
Where this comes from
- Community-listed; no vendor documentation. Source: docs.cohere.com
- Robots.txt behaviour undocumented.
- Listed, not scored. It cannot keep a site out of today's answers, so the check shows a block without deducting for it.
In the top 1,000 websites
- 12.5% block it in robots.txt (71 of the 569 sites with a robots.txt), as of 2026-10-12.
- Method, limits and the full data: the October 2026 study of the top 1,000 websites.
What blocking it costs
Nothing in today's answers, and nothing in the readiness score: cohere-training-data-crawler only gathers training data, so blocking it is a policy choice about future models, not about being found. The check lists the block without deducting for it.
The robots.txt lines
To let it in (a group that names the crawler replaces any wildcard rules for it, so this also lifts a User-agent: * block):
User-agent: cohere-training-data-crawler
Allow: /To keep it out:
User-agent: cohere-training-data-crawler
Disallow: /A rule in robots.txt is a request. Whether this crawler honours it is undocumented. The robots.txt generator writes a whole file with the same split: block the training crawlers, keep the search and answer crawlers.
