Amazonbot: Amazon's training crawler
Amazonbot is Amazon's crawler for improving its products and services. Amazon says what it crawls may be used to train its AI models.

Allow Amazonbot
Allowing it lets your future pages into what the model learns, which is how it knows your brand before it searches. Opting out is a choice you can make if your content is your product: search and live-answer bots run under other names, so it doesn't take you out of today's answers.
User-agent: AmazonbotAllow: /Needed only if a wider rule blocks it: robots.txt lets every bot in by default. A bot named in its own group ignores the User-agent: * group, so repeat your private paths there as Disallow lines. A block in your CDN or firewall has to be lifted there.
User-agent: AmazonbotDisallow: /A rule only changes what the bot reads next. To see whether Amazonbot reads your pages now, and which ones, track AI crawlers on your server or see the full AI crawler list.
