What is KeenableBot?

KeenableBot is the primary crawler for Keenable.ai, a platform focused on providing search and content access APIs specifically for AI agents. Unlike general-purpose search engines, KeenableBot is designed to feed a specialized index that allows AI systems to retrieve and cite public web information. The operator, Keenable.ai, Inc., emphasizes transparency by providing clear instructions for site owners to control crawl behavior via standard robots.txt directives and meta tags.

Helpful — The bot respects the Robots Exclusion Protocol (RFC 9309) and provides clear documentation for site owners to manage or opt-out of indexing.

Site owners can verify the bot's identity through its published documentation and are encouraged to use standard robots.txt rules to manage its access or request removal of content via the provided abuse contact.
