Can AI read academia.edu?
academia.edu allows the AI search crawlers in its robots.txt, so ChatGPT and Perplexity are able to read and cite it. Read live from the site's own robots.txt with Google's reference parser.
✓AI search crawlers can reach it
OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot are allowed.
?Homepage is readable by crawlers
Could not fetch the homepage (403), so I cannot tell how much text a crawler would get.
✗Has an llms.txt
No /llms.txt. It is an emerging, optional convention, not required to be cited today. You can generate one at https://ai-visibility.lastminutedealshq.com/llms-txt
I could not fetch this site's homepage, so I cannot tell whether it sends readable text.
