Hey Product Hunt, I just launched Robots.txt Generator on Apify. It creates deployable robots.txt files from presets, custom bot rules, sitemap URLs, and host directives. You can generate one file or batch files for multiple sites, then export the raw text plus validation data. It is useful for SEO work, AI crawler blocking, staging sites, WordPress, e-commerce, and agency workflows where you need repeatable robots.txt files without hand-writing every rule. If you try it, please let me know what you think 🫡

honestly pretty handy for blocking those AI crawlers, i was spending way too long hand-writing robots files for client sites

It would be great to see a built-in testing mode that actually fetches a preview URL and highlights which bots would be blocked or allowed based on the generated rules. Right now I have to deploy the file to a staging site just to verify behavior, which slows things down quite a bit.

finally a tool that handles AI crawler blocking without making me dig through a million docs, presets are a nice touch

Love how the preset dropdown lets me block AI crawlers with one click instead of digging through syntax every time. Clean, focused, does exactly what it says without any clutter.
