ArtificialInfluenceBot

We fetch a small number of public pages to analyse sources that AI engines cite, and to audit customers’ own websites.

• Identifies itself honestly: ArtificialInfluenceBot/1.0 with this page’s address and a contact email.
• Obeys robots.txt on every request and redirect, including Crawl-delay.
• Makes at most one request per second per site, caches pages and uses conditional requests.
• Never logs in, never bypasses paywalls or CAPTCHAs, and honours noindex, noai and X-Robots-Tag.
• Stores structure and a short excerpt (300 characters at most), never a copy of your page.
