AI visibility · 59 AI crawlers covered
Are you visible when customers ask AI?
KI-Console by Alpasana GmbH (Safenwil, Switzerland) checks for free and without registration whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and other AI systems can read your website. The scan evaluates robots.txt per RFC 9309, sitemap, page structure and new signals such as Content-Signal, and gives an honestly weighted score from 0 to 100. Daily monitoring starts at CHF 19 per month.

From uncertainty to control
Three steps from diagnosis to proof
Check first, fix what matters, then prove it: so you know whether AI crawlers really reach your content instead of guessing.
Fix what blocks AI
A free account verifies your domain and gives you basic recommendations. From Starter, AI recommendations and generators for llms.txt and sitemap.xml are added.
Prove ongoing visibility
Even on the free plan, the tracker shows which AI crawlers visit your website. From Starter, KI-Console checks daily and emails you when the score drops. You can list verified websites in the AI register if you wish.
What you can fix
The report shows the concrete gaps AI systems care about
Crawler permissions
See whether GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Googlebot and other key crawlers may read your public pages. The evaluation follows the robots standard RFC 9309, wildcards included, so you do not chase false alarms.
AI handover file
From Starter, generate an llms.txt that summarizes your most important pages for AI agents. Honestly: no major AI provider has committed to using it. That is why it carries little weight in the score.
Sitemap signals
Confirm that your sitemap.xml is reachable, valid and where crawlers look for it (robots.txt or /sitemap.xml), so your important pages get found.
Readable content
Detect whether important text only appears via JavaScript. Some AI crawlers do not run JavaScript and miss such content.
Crawler proof
Install the tracker, even on the free plan, and see real AI visits instead of guesses, including live fetches when someone asks an AI about you. KI-Console recognizes 59 crawlers; server log upload is available from Starter.
New AI signals
The scan also checks Content-Signal in robots.txt (what AI may use your content for) and whether your page serves Markdown to AI agents on request. Both are still rare, so they carry little weight in the score and never turn red.
WordPress plugin
One-click tracking for WordPress, no code: install the plugin, paste your tracking key, done. The AI crawler list updates itself — new AIs are detected without an update.
Download plugin More about the WordPress pluginMonitoring and alerts
From Starter you get an email when a score drops, a blocker appears or a verified site loses important signals, so you catch regressions early.
Website security
Has your website been hacked? The scan looks for traces
Some manipulations are not visible in the browser: hidden links, cloaking, or obfuscated JavaScript. The free scan checks six signals without installation and turns red only when there is evidence.
Hidden links
Cloaking comparison with Googlebot
Known spam domains from our own database
New external domains since the last scan
Sitemap anomalies
Foreign scripts and obfuscated JavaScript
Crawler types
How AI systems read your website
KI-Console tracks 59 documented agents and separates live fetches, training crawlers and search crawlers so the signal is clear.
Did you know? “Read this page” in ChatGPT does not arrive as GPTBot but as ChatGPT-User. KI-Console detects both. User-triggered fetches like this do not always follow robots.txt.
Live fetches
A person asks ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity about your website and the fetch happens at that moment. Agents: ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User, Amzn-User, Google-Agent. Some of them (such as ChatGPT-User, Perplexity-User, Google-Agent) do not always follow robots.txt.
Training crawlers
GPTBot, ClaudeBot and others collect content for future model versions. They come on their own if robots.txt allows them; whether and when is up to the provider.
AI search
Googlebot, Bingbot, PerplexityBot, Amzn-SearchBot and meta-webindexer build the search indexes that AI Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity, Alexa and Meta AI can draw answers from. PerplexityBot serves search, not training. Classic visibility remains the foundation.
No one can summon these crawlers on demand. KI-Console helps make your website easy to read and proves the visits that the tracker or your server logs record.
IndexNow
Direct line to the Bing index
IndexNow reports changed URLs to Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver. DuckDuckGo and Microsoft Copilot rely on Bing, and other AI search services use third-party search indexes. Faster Bing indexing can therefore mean faster visibility in AI answers, but it is not guaranteed.
Engines: Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver. Indirect reach: DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot and other services using Bing data.
There is no direct push channel to AI crawlers; IndexNow is a fast, open route via the search indexes.

Why stay active?
AI visibility needs ongoing proof
Visibility can regress
A relaunch, plugin update or expired certificate can turn yesterday's 100 into a blocker. Monitoring catches that early.
Crawler visits are evidence
Visits in the tracker or server logs show whether training crawlers reached your site and whether a live ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity request arrived.
Competitors move too
Your score only tells half the story. Ongoing comparison shows whether others are catching up.
Straight answers
What skeptical website owners usually ask first
KI-Console does not sell magic visibility. It makes your website more readable for AI systems and shows evidence where the tracker or logs provide it.
What does this actually do for me?
You see whether important AI crawlers are allowed, whether the sitemap and llms.txt are usable, whether your page looks readable without heavy JavaScript, and what to fix first. llms.txt carries little weight in the score because no major AI provider has committed to using it.
Is KI-Console up to date with AI search?
The crawler catalog follows the vendor pages of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, Amazon and Meta and covers 59 agents, including newer ones such as Google-Agent, Amzn-SearchBot, meta-webindexer and OAI-AdsBot. The scan evaluates robots.txt per RFC 9309 and checks Content-Signal and Markdown for AI agents. Signals without a commitment from major providers, such as llms.txt, are deliberately weighted low.
Why is classic SEO not enough?
SEO helps search engines index and rank pages. AI visibility also depends on crawler permissions, machine-readable summaries, structured data and proof that bots can reach the content.
What happens after the free scan?
With the free account you verify your domain, save one scan per month with history and see via the tracker which AI crawlers visit. From Starter you add daily scans, email alerts, AI recommendations and generators for handover files.
Can KI-Console guarantee inclusion in an AI index?
No. No provider can honestly guarantee that an AI system will crawl, index or mention a website. KI-Console helps you remove technical barriers and proves visits where the tracker or logs show them.
Does this replace Google Search Console?
No. Use both. Google Search Console covers Google Search performance; KI-Console focuses on AI crawler accessibility, handover files and monitoring for AI visibility.
Is the first scan real?
Yes. The public scan performs live technical checks. Account features add verification, history, monitoring, generators and AI-assisted recommendations.
Which crawlers are checked?
KI-Console detects 59 documented agents across live fetches, training crawlers and search crawlers, including ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User, Google-Agent, Amzn-User, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, meta-webindexer, Googlebot and Bingbot. The list follows vendor documentation and is updated continuously.
