Check your AI training and grounding settings
Enter a page URL. We read its robots.txt, meta tags and X-Robots-Tag header and show what Bing AI Training, Bing AI Grounding and Google-Extended resolve to for that page.
Enter a page URL
Any public page. Training rules in robots.txt can differ by path, so check the pages you care about.
We read three places
The site's robots.txt, the page's meta tags and its X-Robots-Tag header.
We apply Bing's rules
Page level overrides robots.txt for training. Grounding is page level only. Both default to Allow.
You see each result and its source
Every value shows the exact line or tag it came from, so you know what to change.
Bing now reads AI training and AI grounding as two separate settings, starting February 1, 2027. Google plans a shared training control for 2027. A wrong line can keep you out of AI answers or let your content train models you meant to block.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this checker read?
It reads the site's robots.txt, the page's meta tags and the X-Robots-Tag header. It applies only the directives Bing and Google published on October 30, 2026: __usage_ai-training in robots.txt, ai-training and ai-grounding under Bingbot on the page, and Google-Extended in robots.txt.
Why does Bing AI Grounding say Allow when my robots.txt blocks AI?
Bing's grounding preference is page level only. Bing says there is no site-wide robots.txt grounding preference. Add <meta name="Bingbot" content="ai-grounding:disallow"> or the X-Robots-Tag header to each page you want out of grounding.
Does User-agent: * with Disallow: / opt me out of AI training?
No. The IETF draft Bing links says a User-Agent: * group must not be read as the __usage_ai-training token. That rule blocks crawling for every bot instead, which is a much bigger change.
Why is there no Google grounding result?
Google's October 30, 2026 post gives no grounding control and no syntax for its shared training token. It says sites that allow Google-Extended are eligible for grounding in Gemini Apps. We show Google-Extended and will add the shared token when Google publishes it.
When do these settings take effect?
Bing starts honoring them as it crawls from February 1, 2027. Sites using NoArchive or NoCache have until March 1, 2027 to move to the new settings. Google aims to support its shared control in 2027.
