Operator

Allen Institute for AI

Job

Model training

Collects pages for training future models. Slower to pay off, and separate from search and citations.

robots.txt

Vendor does not say

Ai2's page does not mention robots.txt. It publishes the user agent so site owners can filter or reject its traffic.

User agent

How it identifies itself

Copied from the vendor's documentation. Version numbers inside these strings change over time, so match on the token rather than the whole string.

robots.txt

Allow or block AI2Bot

Add one of these groups to the robots.txt at the root of your domain.

A crawler obeys only the most specific group that names it (RFC 9309), so a named group does not inherit the rules under User-agent: *. Repeat any paths you keep private, as the example does with /admin/.

What tryrankwise.com does

We name AI2Bot and let it in

Read from the robots.txt we serve. We want AI engines to read and cite this site, so every AI crawler is allowed everywhere except the app, the API and the sign-in pages (/dashboard/, /api/, /login, /signup, /sign-in, /sign-up). The file also declares Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes.

tryrankwise.com/robots.txt
User-agent: AI2Bot
Allow: /
Disallow: /dashboard/
Disallow: /api/
Disallow: /login
Disallow: /signup
Disallow: /sign-in
Disallow: /sign-up

See the whole file. The same rules repeat in every group, because a crawler that matches a named group ignores the wildcard one.
