Bot-user

When a user bot, like ChatGPT-User, visits your website, its presence is a direct result of a human user's interaction within an AI application such as ChatGPT or a custom GPT. 

These bots act as an intermediary. They fetch information from your site because the user has specifically queried or requested something that prompts the AI to access that particular web content.

Crucially, these visits are distinct from automated crawling for AI model training or general search indexing. User bots do not systematically collect data to train generative AI models. 

Instead, any data they gather from your site is used to formulate an immediate response or complete a task for that specific user's interaction, rather than contributing to a long-term training dataset for the AI model itself.

For marketers, this signifies an active, human-driven interest in your content, with the AI serving as a bridge. It's a valuable signal that your information is being directly consumed in real-time by users who are leveraging AI tools to find answers or accomplish tasks.
