Server Log Analytics

Google Analytics can't see your AI traffic

AI is becoming the new search layer for your buyers. Ansehn shows you exactly how your brand appears across every AI engine so you can lead your company into AI search instead of being left behind by it.

When ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews fetch your content, they don't run JavaScript. That means Google Analytics - and any other client-side tracking tool - misses them entirely. The visits happen at the server level, invisible to the analytics stack you've built your reporting on.

Ansehn reads those visits directly from your server logs. You see every AI crawler hitting your site, which pages they read, how often they come back, and in real time. Every major AI engine - OpenAI's GPTBot and ChatGPT-User, Anthropic's ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google's AI bots, Meta's crawlers, and the long tail - broken down by source, page, and time.

How it works

One connection. Every AI visit

Server logs in, AI traffic out. Real-time, by page, by crawler.

See bots arrive in real time

Live activity shows you every AI crawler hitting your site, with the unique bots active right now. No 24-hour delay, no batched export.

Track which pages they read

Top Pages broken down by every crawler hitting them. See which posts ChatGPT reads, which Perplexity prefers, and where your blog is doing the heaviest lifting.

Watch trends across every engine

The Daily Visits chart breaks crawler traffic down by source over time. Spot the day Anthropic started crawling. Catch the week Perplexity dropped off.

Most of your AI traffic isn't bots. It's people.

When most teams imagine AI crawler traffic, they picture GPTBot scraping for training data. The real story is different: ChatGPT-User - actual humans browsing inside ChatGPT while researching - shows up in server logs at five to ten times the volume of every training crawler combined. That's not future indexing. That's current buyers reading your content live, on your site, right now. Ansehn separates the two so you can see what's training the next model and what's helping you win a deal this week.

Frequently asked questions

The ground truth of AI visibility - every visit to your site from an AI crawler or AI-driven user agent, broken down by crawler, page, and time. We auto-detect GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Gemini, Google-Extended, Meta-externalagent, and more - and add new ones as they emerge.

AI crawlers don't execute JavaScript, which is how Google Analytics and most client-side tools detect visits. Server logs record every request to your site at the infrastructure level - bots, real users, everything - which is the only reliable way to see AI traffic.

Yes. If a crawler is missing from your logs when you expect it, your robots.txt is likely blocking it - or the bot hasn't found you yet. Server Log Analytics surfaces missing crawlers explicitly, so you can fix the rules unblocking the AI engines you actually want reading your content.

No. No JavaScript, no tags on your site. Server logs already exist on your infrastructure - Ansehn just needs access to them. There are three ways to connect: the Custom Logs API for continuous monitoring from any system, the AWS CloudFront integration for native CloudFront setups, or manual upload of a .log file for a one-time analysis.

Any setup that produces standard access logs. AWS CloudFront has a native integration. For other systems - managed WordPress, shared hosting, VPS, Google Cloud, Azure, containers, serverless - you connect via the Custom Logs API for continuous monitoring, or upload logs manually for a one-time analysis.

Live. The Live Activity panel updates continuously and shows you bots hitting your site in the last five minutes. Daily Visits, Top Pages, and Top Crawlers update as new log entries come in.
