OAI-SearchBot
AI & BotsOpenAI's crawler that powers real-time search and browsing results inside ChatGPT, distinct from GPTBot's training-data collection.
Where GPTBot gathers data used to train OpenAI's models, OAI-SearchBot performs live retrieval so ChatGPT can cite and link to current pages in its search feature. The two identify separately in the User-Agent header, so a site can allow one and block the other via robots.txt.
