Continuous monitoring of 40+ known AI crawlers on your site. See the hour access changes. Not the week.
Stripe checkout coming this week. Leave your email below and we'll wire you in on launch.
We track verified access for 40+ named AI crawlers — training bots, retrieval bots, search-adjacent crawlers, and the common-crawl agents that feed the rest. Detection is user-agent plus reverse-DNS verification. No spoofable string matching.
A vendor that was successfully crawling you last week is getting 403s, 5xx, or rate-limits this week. We catch it in hours. This is Pattern 49.5 — the self-inflicted blackout that killed our own ChatGPT traffic for two weeks.
A crawler we've never seen on your site starts fetching — with the fingerprint and reverse-DNS of a real AI vendor. You hear about it before your competitors do.
Your LD-JSON disappears. Your robots.txt flips a clause. Your sitemap goes 404. We diff against yesterday and tell you.
User-Agent says "ClaudeBot." Reverse-DNS says a residential ISP in another country. Those hits get flagged as likely spoofing — not real Anthropic traffic.
Observatory is monitoring only. We don't touch your CDN. We don't apply policy. If you want one-click allow/deny across your crawlers — that's the Valve tier. If you want us to diagnose root cause and deliver legal-grade attestations when something goes sideways — that's Forensics.
If you already run a mature Cloudflare or Akamai setup and someone on your team watches bot analytics weekly, you can probably build Observatory in-house in a few weekends. What you'd be paying us $49/mo for is the crawler-ID list staying fresh, the reverse-DNS infrastructure staying honest, and not having to think about it. That's a fair trade or it isn't — decide from the receipts, not the pitch.
