Agent Type
Expected Behavior
Intelligence gatherers crawl websites to collect business intelligence, competitive data, and market insights on behalf of their clients. These tools may use artificial intelligence to identify and extract information like pricing changes, product listings, brand mentions, or trademark usage. Crawl patterns are highly variable. Sites relevant to a client's monitoring goals may be visited frequently (daily or hourly), while others may never be crawled. They typically focus on specific pages or data points rather than comprehensive site crawls.
