What is QualifiedBot?
About
QualifiedBot is Qualified's web crawler that analyzes customer websites to provide contextual information for their AI-powered chatbots and conversational marketing platform. You can see how often QualifiedBot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
AI assistants make one-off visits to websites based on user requests, rather than crawling the web in any automatic fashion. This allows the underlying LLM to incorporate up-to-date information outside of its training data in its answers, using a technique called retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Should I Block QualifiedBot?
Probably not. AI assistants visit websites directly on behalf of human users, so blocking them will effectively block those users. This could lead to a poor user experience and possible negative sentiment about your website. Not blocking AI assistants will allow more human users to use your website as they choose.
How Do I Block QualifiedBot?
You can block QualifiedBot or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
