Amzn-User fetches individual pages in direct response to a user action or an Amazon application’s request — for example, retrieving up-to-date information to answer an Alexa query. Amazon’s own documentation states this crawler is not used to train generative AI models.

Site-owner controls

Disallowing Amzn-User prevents Amazon applications from fetching this specific page on a user’s behalf — for example, in response to an Alexa query. It does not affect Amazonbot (Amazon’s mixed-use, possibly-training crawler) or Amzn-SearchBot (search-experience indexing), both documented separately. See /limitations for what a robots.txt rule can and cannot guarantee.

Amazon documents Amzn-User alongside Amzn-SearchBot (search-experience crawling, also excluded from AI training) and Amazonbot (mixed use, including possible AI training) on the same page. CrawlPact reports these as distinct rows because they serve different purposes and carry different training implications.

Example robots.txt configuration

To disallow Amzn-User specifically, without affecting any other crawler:

User-agent: Amzn-User
Disallow: /

If no dedicated User-agent: Amzn-User group exists in a domain's robots.txt, this crawler falls back to whatever the wildcard User-agent: * group says (RFC 9309) — see robots.txt syntax basics for how group selection works.
