What is SleepBot/1.0?
SleepBot is a legacy crawler operated by Sleepbot Constructs, a personal web project established in 1995. Unlike modern AI scrapers, this bot is associated with a non-profit, hobbyist site focused on ambient music and digital experiments. It identifies itself via a browser-like User-Agent string and is generally considered a benign, low-frequency crawler.
