Google-Extended is the robots.txt user agent that controls whether Google can use a site's content for AI training (Gemini, AI Overviews training). It is distinct from Googlebot, which controls Search indexing. Blocking Google-Extended does not affect organic Search rankings but does exclude the site from AI Overview citation eligibility.
