Which AI bots can the AI Traffic Monitor detect?


As AI-powered tools and models become a core part of how users discover content, it’s essential to know which AI crawlers are interacting with your website. Scalenut’s AI Traffic Monitor, available within GEO Watchtower, gives you visibility into exactly that.

When you connect your website through Cloudflare, the AI Traffic Monitor starts detecting visits from popular AI bots — giving you insight into how your content is being accessed, interpreted, and potentially referenced by leading Large Language Models (LLMs).

Note: Integration with Cloudflare is required to enable AI Traffic Monitor.


AI Bots Detected by the AI Traffic Monitor

Here is the current list of AI crawlers and bots that the AI Traffic Monitor can detect:

  • Amazon Bot

  • Claude Bot

  • Apple Bot

  • DuckAssist Bot

  • Google Ads Bot

  • Google Bot

  • Google Bot Image

  • Bing Bot

  • ChatGPT User

  • GPT Bot

  • OAI-SearchBot

  • Perplexity Bot

  • Perplexity User

  • Pinterest Bot

These bots represent a mix of AI assistants, search bots, and LLM-powered engines that frequently visit public websites to crawl, learn from, or index content.

Why It Matters

Understanding which bots are visiting your site — and how often — helps you:

  • Identify which platforms are consuming your content.

  • Optimize your site structure for better AI readability.

  • Align your GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategy with how LLMs crawl and surface information.
