Amzn-User

Supports user actions, such as answering Alexa questions that need up-to-date information. Amazon says it does not crawl content for generative AI model training.

Operator

Job

User-triggered fetch

Visits a page because a person asked a question that needs it. This is the visit that can end in a citation.

robots.txt

May ignore robots.txt on user requests

Amazon says that because it acts on a user's request, Amzn-User may not follow all robots.txt directives.

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.
Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Amzn-User/0.1) Chrome/W.X.Y.Z Safari/537.36

robots.txt

Allow or block Amzn-User

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/.

Allow Amzn-User
User-agent: Amzn-User
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/
Block Amzn-User
User-agent: Amzn-User
Disallow: /

Amazon says this fetcher acts on a person's request and may not follow robots.txt. A block here states your preference; it may not stop the visit.

What tryrankwise.com does

We name Amzn-User 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: Amzn-User
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.
