What is Gigabot?
Gigabot is the crawler behind Gigablast's search index. The catalog describes Gigablast as a U.S. search engine outside Big Tech that uses its own index and algorithms, so this traffic represents collection for that search system.
Nothing in the record ties Gigabot to generated answers or model training. Its ordinary search role is not evidence of an AI use, and allowing it only has a documented effect on Gigablast's ability to collect the page.
The recorded user agent is simply Gigabot, with no browser wrapper or version. That makes matching straightforward but says little about the sender. The entry has no verified IP range or Web Bot Auth directory.
A fetch gives Gigablast content that it could evaluate for its index. It does not confirm inclusion or appearance for a query. Robots.txt compliance is unconfirmed in the bot metadata, and Cloudflare's bot directory marks it as false, so mandatory blocking needs verification or direct enforcement.
