Should you block bedrockbot?
A hit usually means your URL was selected for a Bedrock application data source, not a broad Amazon crawl.
| Amazon bot | Job | If you block it |
|---|---|---|
| Amzn-SearchBot | Search | Allowing it makes your content eligible to appear in Amazon search experiences such as Alexa. Amazon says it does not crawl content for generative AI model training. |
| Amzn-User | User fetch | Blocking it can stop Amazon assistants from reading your page when a customer asks about it directly. |
| Amazonbot | Other | Blocking it limits Amazon’s general product-improvement and potential AI training crawl path. Amazon now uses separate Amzn-SearchBot and Amzn-User agents for search and live user requests. |

User-agent: bedrockbot
Disallow: /Asks bedrockbot not to crawl any page. Other Amazon bots are unaffected. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.
Allowing bedrockbot only creates the possibility of retrieval. To find out whether your pages are selected, measure which answer engines actually cite your pages using a stable query set.
Also seen under Amazon’s name, but not in its current documentation: amazon-kendra, AmazonBuyForMe, NovaAct. Rules naming them control no documented Amazon crawler.
