Google-Extended

Updated 2026-05-17

Google-Extended is Google's user-agent for AI training and AI Overviews — separate from Googlebot, which still controls classic search indexing. Blocking Google-Extended opts you out of Gemini training and AI Overviews surfacing without affecting your standard Google ranking.

Block AI training only

User-agent: Google-Extended
Disallow: /

This posture keeps you indexed in classic Google search while opting out of Gemini training + AI Overviews.
