Overview
Known Agents, formerly Dark Visitors, identifies the AI crawlers and agents arriving at your site and turns that into analytics plus a managed robots.txt. It answers the question most publishers are guessing at: which LLM bots are reading my content, and do I want them to. It's visibility and control, not a way to get paid for that crawling.
