Overview

First Answer uses a single crawler, FirstAnswerBot, to check whether your site is ready for AI search engines and to power the recommendations we generate for your brand.

​
Key points

  • FirstAnswerBot content is not used to train AI models.
  • It does not collect personal data.
  • It is identified by the FirstAnswerBot token in its User-Agent. Match on that token (not the full string) when writing robots.txt or firewall rules.

Block it:
If you block FirstAnswerBot, we may stop generating some of your recommendations. It does not affect your visibility in AI answers.
