Cora is an AI co-founder and connected business operating system for agencies and service businesses. It connects leads, clients, proposals, projects, approvals, documents and billing in one workspace.

Who is Cora built for?

Cora is built for client-service businesses including performance marketing agencies, design studios, web and development agencies, SEO teams, creative businesses and other service companies.

Is Cora the same product as other companies named Cora?

No. HeyCora at heycora.in builds Cora for agencies and service businesses. Other unrelated products and companies also use the Cora name.

Will blocking GPTBot prevent my website from showing in ChatGPT Search?

No. OpenAI publisher documentation confirms that ChatGPT Search uses OAI-SearchBot for real-time citations and search indexing. You can disallow GPTBot (training) while allowing OAI-SearchBot (search citations).

How do I test my live robots.txt file with this tool?

Open your website at yourdomain.com/robots.txt, copy the full text contents, and paste them into the editor box above. The tool parses directives instantly in your browser using RFC 9309 rules without transmitting data.

How does Cora optimize websites for AI and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Cora generates clean, crawlable robots.txt directives, real-time Schema markup (Organization, Service, Article, SoftwareApplication), and structured entity maps that make your service offerings clearly understandable to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

Computational Breakdown

Inspect Wildcard InheritanceUnder RFC 9309, specific AI search bots inherit wildcard disallows unless explicitly allowed

All AI bots blocked

Add Specific Search Bot Allow DirectivesDeclare explicit "Allow: /" rules for OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot

Citations restored

Keep Disallow for Bulk Training BotsMaintain "Disallow: /" under GPTBot and ClaudeBot to protect proprietary copy from training pools

IP protected

Outcome Analysis:By decoupling AI Search indexers from AI Training scrapers, the agency restored its visibility in ChatGPT Search and Perplexity while keeping its content out of general model training pools.

Methodology & Formulas

v1.2 (October 2026)

Core Computational Formulas

AI Search Accessibility ScoreScore_ai = ((Allowed_search_bots / Total_search_bots) × 70) + ((Googlebot_allowed ? 1 : 0) × 30)

Weighted accessibility score prioritizing active AI search indexers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity) and core web crawlers.

RFC 9309 Specificity MatchPriority = Exact_agent_match > Wildcard_match (*)

Standard internet robots exclusion protocol rule resolution order.

Baseline Assumptions

Crawlers adhere to official RFC 9309 standards and respect User-agent declarations.
OpenAI Search and Perplexity prioritize crawlable public pages for real-time citations and source links.

Analytical Limitations

Robots.txt only controls crawler access; it does not guarantee automatic top placement or citation frequency in AI responses.
Malicious non-compliant scrapers may disregard robots.txt entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI Search bots (like OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot) index your public pages in real time to cite your business and link directly to your website in AI answers. AI Training bots (like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended) crawl web content to train future foundation models. Many agencies allow Search bots while blocking Training bots.
