Kagi Bot

Kagibot fetches web pages for Kagi's own search index. That index supports Kagi's ad-free search product, so this traffic belongs to a search indexing workflow rather than an ad crawler, preview generator, or user-triggered browser session.

Requests use a user agent such as Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Kagibot/1.0; +https://kagi.com/bot). Kagi publishes the crawler's current IP addresses and hostnames on that bot page. A user-agent match is useful for log filtering, while the published network details provide a stronger check when a request needs to be authenticated operationally.

Kagi documents an unusual robots fallback. A section addressed to Kagibot takes precedence, but when that section is absent the crawler follows directives written for Googlebot. Site owners who give Google broader access than other crawlers can therefore expose the same paths to Kagibot unless they add an explicit rule.

Being crawled can make a page eligible for Kagi's search index. It does not guarantee ranking, inclusion, or use in an AI-generated answer. Kagi's bot documentation also makes no claim that Kagibot gathers model-training data, so its impact should be described as Kagi search discovery rather than general AI visibility.
