Agentic browsing

AI agents fetching the live web to complete a user task.

Definition

ChatGPT-User-style browsing is interactive. Blocking it changes what agents can verify during a session.

In practice

  • Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
  • Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
  • Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
