AI is reading your website. Now you can see it.

Forge AI Bot Log records every visit from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google and 20 other AI bots, checks that each one is who it claims to be, and shows you exactly which pages they read.

Three things it tells you

Which bots, and how often.

A dashboard and a full activity log of every AI bot visit, with 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day totals. Filter by bot, by type, or search for a page.

Whether they are real.

Any script can call itself GPTBot. The plugin checks each visit against the IP ranges the AI companies publish, or by reverse DNS, and marks it Verified, Spoofed or Unverified.

What each one is for.

Every bot is labelled as a live read, a search crawl or a training crawl, in plain words, with a directory explaining who runs it and what it does with your pages.

Then decide what to allow

Block any bot with one switch. The plugin adds the rule to your robots.txt, and for the few bots that ignore robots.txt it gives you a server-level block to paste in. Keep the bots that send you readers; turn away the ones that only take.

[SCREENSHOT: Pro overview, By AI company table]

Bots read your pages. Pro shows you the people they send.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude a question and clicks through to your site, Pro records it: which assistant, which page, and what that company’s bots did on that page beforehand. Set visitors against live reads, page by page, and see which of your content AI assistants actually use.

What we don’t claim

No tool can see inside an AI answer. We don’t count “citations” or score your “AI visibility”, because nothing on a web server can measure those. We count what can be seen: bot visits, verified, and people who arrive from an assistant. Where the numbers have a blind spot, the plugin says so on screen.
