Why Is Devin Visiting My Website?
A developer is working with a product or technology you document. Devin retrieved your documentation, API reference, or examples because they were relevant to the code being written.
Should I Block Devin?
Allow Devin if developers rely on your documentation or technical content. Blocking it can make your product harder to build with but does not affect traditional search rankings. For context, 9% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Devin.
How Do I Block Devin Using Robots.txt?
Add this rule to your robots.txt file to block Devin from accessing your website, or use Automatic Robots.txt to block all AI coding agents at once. You can customize which pages are blocked by swapping out / for a different path.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Devin?
Devin typically makes several requests within seconds. A single developer leaves quiet gaps, while overlapping sessions can produce steady traffic. Activity comes in short, targeted sessions rather than broad site-wide crawls.
Does Devin Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Devin is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step if you want to block it. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether Devin respects it.
Is Devin Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. Devin is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking Devin Affect AI Search or Citations?
Blocking Devin can keep your documentation out of answers it gives developers. It does not directly affect general AI search indexes or traditional search rankings.
Does Devin Access Private Content?
Not unless a developer explicitly provides credentials. Devin otherwise reads only public documentation, references, and code examples.
How Can I Verify a Request From Devin?
Agent Analytics tracks Devin visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Devin". Look for clustered requests across documentation, API reference, and code example pages. Because Devin does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
