The dashboard surfaces crawl-to-referral ratios per bot operator, top bots by volume and bandwidth, and a new crawler taxonomy classifying bots as Training, Search, or Agent types. The tool is designed to help publishers quantify the imbalance between AI crawler consumption and actual referral traffic — ratios as high as 50,000:1 have been observed — and arm business decision-makers with data to negotiate content licensing or compensation with AI companies.

A forthcoming per-article view will show which specific content AI companies are most interested in. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
