AEO and AI Search
GPTBot
TL;DR
GPTBot is OpenAI's web crawler, used to gather content that may be used to train its models. OpenAI uses a separate agent, OAI-SearchBot, to fetch pages for ChatGPT search results.
How SaaStorm approaches it
Blocking GPTBot and blocking OAI-SearchBot have different consequences. The first limits training use; the second can remove you from ChatGPT search answers. Teams often confuse the two.
We review your robots.txt and CDN rules for each OpenAI agent separately, then confirm access in server logs instead of assuming the rules work.
