Should you block MistralAI-User?

Usually not. It reads a page only when a person asks Le Chat about it, so blocking it hides your page from someone already looking for it.

Ignored robots.txt?

Whether to allow MistralAI-User is a policy call. Either way, check which AI platforms actually send you human visitors before assuming crawl volume equals value.

How this is measured

Finalized daily crawler summaries from sites connected to Trakkr, grouped by the crawler named in each request. Trakkr’s own site is excluded. A site counts as reached in a week when it logged at least one request from MistralAI-User. The typical figure is the median weekly requests among the sites it reached.

  • This is a sample of connected sites, not the whole web.
  • A matching user-agent does not prove the named operator sent the request.
  • Requests are not unique pages, training use or citations.
  • Crawlers seen on fewer than 10 sites are not shown. Classic search crawlers such as Googlebot are not collected on every site, so they are left out.
