PetalBot

Petal Search / Celia assistant index.

Should you block it?

Almost never block

PetalBot builds and refreshes the index behind Huawei's AI answers. Blocking it is the most expensive mistake in AI SEO: you disappear from Huawei citations while your training decision stays completely separate.

If you need to protect specific sections (pricing, docs), use path-scoped rules instead of a blanket Disallow: /.
