Crawler Block Compliance Bot

Derivation Chain

Step 1 AI unauthorized news training lawsuits
→
Step 2 Surge in website AI crawler blocking needs
→
Step 3 Legal validity verification service for blocking configurations

Problem

Online media outlets, blogs, and E-commerce operators set up robots.txt, AI.txt, and TDM (Text and Data Mining) headers to block AI crawlers, but each AI company's crawler User-Agent names change frequently, and Legal validity requirements differ by country (Korea Copyright Act Article 35-5, EU AI Act, US DMCA). Missing configurations risk being interpreted as 'implied consent' in litigation, so SMEs either spend 2-3 hours monthly on manual updates or neglect it entirely.

Solution

Register a website domain and the service (1) diagnoses current robots.txt/AI.txt configuration Legal validity against Korean, EU, and US standards, (2) auto-generates update patches when new AI crawler User-Agents appear, and (3) provides monthly blocking status Reports (which AI bots attempted access and how often). One-click deployment via WordPress/Cafe24/Shopify plugins.

Target: Online media operators with 10K-1M monthly visitors, SMEs running self-hosted E-commerce stores (Cafe24/Shopify), content marketing agencies
Revenue Model: Premium SaaS: Free (1 diagnostic) → Basic KRW 19K/month (~$14/month, 3 domains, auto-updates) → Pro KRW 59K/month (~$44/month, unlimited domains, access log analysis, Legal Reports)
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
