# AI search retrieval crawlers (added 2026-05-30)
# These are SEPARATE from training crawlers above and govern AI citations
# in ChatGPT Search, Microsoft Copilot, Apple Intelligence, DuckDuckGo AI,
# and Meta AI / WhatsApp AI. Blocking these removes us from the candidate
# set those products draw from. See docs/strategy/menolia-bing-first-analysis.md

# Claude (Anthropic) search retrieval crawlers (added 2026-06-04)
# ClaudeBot above is the training crawler; the citation/web-search crawlers are
# SEPARATE user-agents per Anthropic's published docs. Without these allowed,
# Claude's web-search grounding cannot pick us as a source even when our
# content is the best match. Critical for the Claude/Brave channel which is
# currently delivering near-zero traffic (1 user in last 60 days).

# Brave Search (Brave Software) — added 2026-06-04
# Brave maintains an independent web index used by Brave Search AND by Claude
# for web grounding. We are currently not indexed in Brave at all
# (`site:fertilia.in` returns zero results). The crawler must be allowed before
# Brave Webmaster sitemap submission can take effect.
