AI Crawlers

This is the reference for which AI systems Aiola can confirm have reached a site. Classification is ordered and first-match-wins against the request User-Agent.

Dashboard categories

Category	Stored kinds	What it means for the site owner
Answers	`fetch`	An assistant fetched a page on demand for a live user; this is the category most directly connected to answer-engine visibility.
Indexing	`search` or `index`	A search or AI-search crawler fetched content for an index that may later power discovery or answers.
Training	`crawl`	A crawler fetched content for a dataset, model-training, research, or general AI corpus. It does not prove the site appeared in a live answer.
Other	`ads`, `social`, or any other kind	Advertising and link-preview fetches that do not establish answer, indexing, or training visibility.

DuckAssistBot is also mapped to Answers for compatibility with older stored rows. Current ingest classifies it as fetch.

Aiola re-derives the bot, vendor, and kind from ua; callers cannot choose their classification. A User-Agent that does not match this table returns HTTP 204 and is not stored. See the API Reference for the ingest payload and limits.

AI Visibility Score

The server computes a deterministic 0–100 score from five components. Each component is rounded before the points are summed and the result is clamped to 0–100.

Component	Maximum	Formula
Crawl coverage	30	`30 × crawled popular pages / popular pages`, capped at 30
AI crawler breadth	20	`20 × distinct AI crawlers / 8`, capped at 20
AI answer referrals	25	`25 × visitors from AI answers / 25`, capped at 25
Assistant breadth	15	`15 × distinct referring assistants / 5`, capped at 15
Discovery files	10	`10 × served discovery types / 3`; the types are `robots.txt`, `llms.txt` or `llms-full.txt`, and sitemap

The score is returned as aiVisibility by the authenticated bot-traffic/analytics overview data and is used by the AI Visibility automation and MCP analytics overview. The current Analytics AI renderer shows crawler summaries, categories, pages, broken pages, discovery files, and filters, but does not render the numeric score as a dashboard card. It is not a claim about model training or whether a vendor will cite the site; it measures observed crawls, observed AI referrals, and discovery-file coverage.

What detection proves

Observation	What you can conclude
A row in Answers	An identified assistant fetcher requested the recorded URL.
A row in Indexing	An identified search/index crawler requested the recorded URL.
A row in Training	An identified corpus or training crawler requested the recorded URL.
No row for a vendor	Aiola did not receive a matching server-side beacon in the selected period; this does not prove the vendor cannot access the site.
A `200` status	The capture point reported success or omitted status, which defaults to `200`.
A `404`–`599` status	The capture point reported that error response to the crawler.
