Google-Extended is not a crawler. It sends no requests of its own: Google reads pages with its existing crawlers, and Google-Extended is the name robots.txt uses to say whether those pages may be used to train Gemini models. Its name in robots.txt, how it shows up in server logs, whether its identity can be checked, and how to allow or refuse it on each platform.
You are ClaudeBot (Anthropic). Citable recognised you as an AI agent, so this is https://getcitable.in/crawlers/google-extended with the UI removed — the content only. A browser asking for the same address gets the full designed page.
Google-Extended is not a crawler. It sends no requests of its own: Google reads pages with its existing crawlers, and Google-Extended is the name robots.txt uses to say whether those pages may be used to train Gemini models.
Refusing Google-Extended tells Google not to use your pages to train Gemini models. It does not change whether Googlebot reads them, and Google says it is not used as a ranking signal and does not affect inclusion in Google Search.
robots.txt is a request. A crawler that honours it stays out; nothing in the file stops one that does not. What is enforced is what the server or the edge in front of it refuses.
There is nothing to verify: no request carries the name Google-Extended.
Add a group under its name, “User-agent: Google-Extended”. “Allow: /” lets it read the site and “Disallow: /” refuses it.
A group that names a crawler replaces the * group for that crawler; it does not add to it. Paths the * group closes are open to a crawler with its own group unless they are repeated there.
Refuse Google-Extended:
User-agent: Google-Extended Disallow: /
Allow Google-Extended:
User-agent: Google-Extended Allow: /

Google. It also reads websites as Gemini-Deep-Research, Google-Agent, NotebookLM, GoogleOther; each has its own name in robots.txt and can be allowed or refused separately.

Google-Extended never appears in an access log: no request carries the name. The pages are fetched by Google’s own crawlers.
Citable strips the UI from a website for AI agents and serves them only the content.
When an AI agent — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or any of the 81 that Citable recognises — opens a page, Citable removes the theme, scripts, navigation and layout and serves only the content: the same facts, at the same URL, on the site's own domain. People and Google still get the full designed page.
