armature ai traffic
You need to be in the training sets, the AI search indexes, and the answers. Armature shows when OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, and other AI systems actually fetch your content.
No browser JavaScript needed. Your human analytics stays as it is.
the stakes
Labs collect the web on a schedule. Each time, they either fetch your pages or pass you by. One of the two is happening right now, and it shapes what the next generation of AI knows about you.
If they never fetch you
If they fetch you
why they come
Every crawl has a purpose. Armature classifies each request, so you can tell an answer fetch from an index crawl from a training run.
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity fetch pages on demand while a user waits. Each fetch means an assistant opened your page while answering a real question.
Logged as it happens and attributed to the assistant that fetched.
OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot crawl to build the indexes behind AI search. Watch new pages get discovered and old ones get refreshed.
A crawl shows discovery and refresh. It does not guarantee a ranking.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and CCBot collect public pages for model development. Know when they come, what they take, and how often they return.
A request does not guarantee inclusion in a training dataset.

what you can answer
the invisible audience
Most AI crawlers never run browser JavaScript, so script-based analytics never records them. The reading happens every day. It just does not show up.

Create a key and paste one prompt into your coding agent. It installs Armature and sends a production test.
Your coding agent does the installing. You watch the first event land.
