cohere-ai: IP ranges, verification & how to handle it

Last verified: 2026-06-13 · maintained by Unsourced

The cohere-ai crawler gathers data for Cohere's enterprise language models. It's a training crawler rather than a live-search one.

Verified IP ranges & identity

There is no published IP-range feed or documented reverse-DNS footprint for cohere-ai, so its identity can't be verified by IP. Treat the User-Agent as an unverified claim.

How to verify a request is really cohere-ai

A User-Agent string is just a claim — anyone can send cohere-ai in a header. Confirm identity two ways: forward-confirmed reverse DNS (the IP resolves to Cohere, and that host resolves back to the IP), and, where published, an IP inside the operator's official ranges. If neither holds, it's an impostor wearing the badge — not cohere-ai.

Should you allow or block cohere-ai?

Recommended: keep. Feeds model training; blocking it can quietly remove you from future AI answers.

If you do choose to act in robots.txt (which crawlers honour but don't enforce):

# cohere-ai: recommended to ALLOW — blocking can cost you AI visibility
