How CustomGPT.ai builds AI agent from my website?

This guide explains how to build an AI agent by crawling and indexing content directly from your website using CustomGPT.

Create a new agent

  1. On your dashboard, click New Agent.
  1. Click Website.
  1. Enter a URL or a sitemap in the provided field.
  1. Click Create Agent to begin indexing.

Sitemap search

CustomGPT.ai will first attempt to find a sitemap for the domain you provided. If a sitemap is found, CustomGPT.ai will crawl the pages listed on the sitemap, indexing the content for your AI agent.


If no sitemap is found

If a sitemap is not found, CustomGPT.ai will:

  • Attempt to find all links on your website's main page and crawl them.
  • Find links on the new pages discovered and crawl those as well.
  • Continue this process until it reaches your per-agent page limit or no new links are found.

🚧

Note:

If no links are found, CustomGPT.ai will crawl and index just the single page you provided.


Same-domain crawling only

If no sitemap is found, CustomGPT.ai crawls only links on the same domain. For example, if your domain is https://customgpt.ai, it won’t crawl links like https://google.com or https://docs.customgpt.ai.
