AI training crawlers collect web content as training material for large language models. They bring no direct traffic — your content ends up in the model and influences future AI answers. Most honour robots.txt, some are more aggressive than search engine crawlers.
BotScope maps YouBot requests onto your session timeline — you spot bursts, can filter them per path, and compare against other bots in the same category.
