| Operator | Google · developers.google.com |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Fetchers for an AI user. One request because a person asked an assistant about your page. Not bulk crawling; some ignore robots.txt because a human triggered them. |
| User-agent contains | gemini-deep-research |
| robots.txt | User-agent: Google-ExtendedDisallow: / |
| How to verify | No published verification method. Treat the name as a claim, not proof. |
| Should you block it? | Usually let it in; it is a reader with an assistant. |
| Does it pay? | No. It does not carry a wallet and cannot answer a 402. A site that charges simply serves it nothing. |
| Docs | https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/overview-google-crawlers |
