AI Bot Visit
AI & BotsA visit from an AI crawler or bot (e.g. GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot) rather than a human or search-indexing bot.
AI bot visits are identified from server logs by user-agent string. A rising count of AI bot visits indicates a page is being read for training data, retrieval-augmented generation, or live citation by an AI assistant -- a leading indicator of AI discoverability distinct from traditional search visibility.
