## What is OAI-AdsBot?

Reviews pages submitted as ChatGPT ads for safety and relevance; this collection is not for foundation-model training.

## How to identify it

Look for the OAI-AdsBot identifier in a request’s User-Agent. This is a name match, not identity verification. Version strings may change.

## How to check identity

Compare the request IP with the current operator-published ranges linked in the source. A matching name alone does not verify identity.

## Access and robots.txt

The source describes submitted-ad review; no robots.txt behavior is asserted here.

## What it means in your analytics

Ad review traffic belongs to campaign operations. Counting it as organic AI discovery would inflate acquisition reporting.

## Useful measures

Submitted landing-page responses; Review-time errors.

## What to check next

Match a visit to a submitted landing page and its review window before interpreting traffic as campaign demand.
