ChatGPT-User

User-agent used when ChatGPT browses the live web on a user’s behalf.

Definition

ChatGPT-User represents interactive browsing, not bulk training crawl. Blocking it can change what ChatGPT can fetch during a session.

In practice

  • Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
  • Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
  • Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
