Klaviyo AI crawler for indexing configured content to tailor AI experiences and recommendations.

## What is KlaviyoAIBot?

KlaviyoAIBot is a web crawler operated by Klaviyo that indexes content configured by Klaviyo customers. Its purpose is to gather data that powers AI-driven experiences and recommendations within the Klaviyo platform. The bot identifies itself with the user-agent token KlaviyoAIBot and honors robots.txt directives. It is not a general-purpose search crawler; instead, it focuses on fetching content that businesses have explicitly set up for Klaviyo's AI features. This means its visits are tied to specific customer configurations rather than broad, indiscriminate crawling of the web.

## What it's for

For site owners, a visit from KlaviyoAIBot typically indicates that a Klaviyo customer has configured the bot to access certain pages for AI-powered personalization or recommendation features. This can be a signal that your content is being used to enhance marketing or customer engagement through Klaviyo's platform. The bot's activity is generally beneficial if you want your content to be part of those AI experiences, but it may not drive direct traffic or SEO value in the traditional sense.

## How to handle KlaviyoAIBot

If you do not want KlaviyoAIBot to access your site, you can block it using a standard robots.txt disallow rule. Since the bot honors robots.txt, adding a disallow directive for the user-agent KlaviyoAIBot will prevent it from crawling your pages. If you are a Klaviyo customer and want the bot to access specific content, ensure those paths are not disallowed and that your Klaviyo configuration points to the correct URLs.
