Gemini: Fix Incorrect Pricing and Features in AI Responses
AI Gives Wrong Pricing or Features on Gemini? Here's why it happens, the fix, and how to prevent it.
Gemini Context

Why This Problem Matters

Gemini Technical Details
Gemini has no separate crawler: Googlebot does the crawling, and the Google-Extended robots.txt token (not a separate user agent) controls whether that content is used for Gemini training and grounding without affecting Google Search. Pages a user hands to Gemini are fetched by Google's user-triggered fetchers, which generally ignore robots.txt.
