Many ways for AI to read it. Optiview recognizes 27 AI request labels across search, assistants and automated crawlers. Eligible requests receive clean Markdown or prepared HTML, with your approved Narrative Graph where it applies.

Product tokens match across letter casing, version numbers, and desktop or mobile browser wrappers. Open a group to see the exact labels. OpenAI3 labels Training, AI search and retrieval requested by a user. * `GPTBot` * `OAI-SearchBot` * `ChatGPT-User` [Documentation →](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/bots)Anthropic3 labels Training, Claude search and user-requested retrieval. * `ClaudeBot` * `Claude-SearchBot` * `Claude-User` [Documentation →](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8896518-does-anthropic-crawl-data-from-the-web-and-how-can-site-owners-block-the-crawler)Perplexity2 labels Search indexing and user-requested retrieval. * `PerplexityBot` * `Perplexity-User` [Documentation →](https://docs.perplexity.ai/docs/resources/perplexity-crawlers)Exa2 labels Search indexing and on-demand page retrieval. The separate image crawler is outside text-page conversion. * `ExaSearchBot` * `ExaUser` [Documentation →](https://crawler.exa.ai/)You.com1 label The established YouBot request label. Contents API requests do not necessarily expose this label at the website. * `YouBot` [Documentation →](https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots/directory/youbot)Google AI fetchers4 labels Documented Vertex and user-triggered Google fetchers, plus the retained Mariner label. These labels do not identify every Gemini retrieval route. * `Google-CloudVertexBot` * `Google-Agent` * `Google-GeminiNotebook` * `GoogleAgent-Mariner` [Documentation →](https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/google-user-triggered-fetchers)Mistral3 labels Separate user-requested, search-indexing and training agents. * `MistralAI-User` * `MistralAI-Index` * `MistralAI-Training` [Documentation →](https://docs.mistral.ai/robots)Amazon3 labels General collection that may support training, search indexing and live user-requested retrieval. * `Amazonbot` * `Amzn-SearchBot` * `Amzn-User` [Documentation →](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/amazonbot/amazonbot.html)Meta3 labels AI collection and user-requested fetching. FacebookBot is a legacy label listed in Cloudflare’s reference. * `meta-externalagent` * `meta-externalfetcher` * `FacebookBot` [Documentation →](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/reference/bots/)DuckDuckGo1 label Retrieval for AI-assisted answers. * `DuckAssistBot` [Documentation →](https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/duckassistbot)Common Crawl and ByteDance2 labels Automated corpus collection; a crawl is not evidence of a recommendation or citation. * `CCBot` * `Bytespider` [Documentation →](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/reference/bots/) These are compatibility labels, not authenticated identities or partnerships. A copied user-agent can select a public format; it cannot grant access to private content. Cloudflare verification and supported provider checks are reported separately. ## The right format, when the request is eligible. 1. **Keep the website’s rules.** The connection, public page, publication and source checks must pass. Private requests, unsupported content and blocked traffic are not converted. 2. **Keep ordinary search crawling intact.** Traditional search crawlers receive the original response, even when asking for Markdown or carrying a conflicting AI signal. 3. **Read the format preference.** A request that prefers supported Markdown can receive it without a special bot name. Recognized AI labels or Cloudflare-verified AI categories can also select a prepared format. With no format preference or a simple wildcard, eligible AI requests get Markdown; an accepted HTML format gets prepared HTML. Explicit refusals are respected. 4. **Add only the context you published.** Published Narrative Graph content is included only within its approved page and website scope. A graph is optional. Drafts and private context stay private. 5. **Fall back safely.** If source approval, conversion or a service limit prevents delivery, the original response remains available where possible. We record the outcome rather than calling it successful preparation. ## Coverage goes beyond a fixed list. Cloudflare’s verified AI Crawler, AI Search and AI Assistant categories can qualify additional agents. Any eligible tool can request `text/markdown`. An unrecognized name with no other eligibility signal receives the original page. Search crawlers and special cases Original-response labels include: * `Googlebot` * `Googlebot-News` * `Googlebot-Image` * `Googlebot-Video` * `Google-InspectionTool` * `GoogleOther` * `GoogleOther-Image` * `GoogleOther-Video` * `AdsBot-Google` * `AdsBot-Google-Mobile` * `Mediapartners-Google` * `Storebot-Google` * `FeedFetcher-Google` * `Google-Site-Verification` * `Google-Read-Aloud` * `bingbot` * `BingPreview` * `adidxbot` * `msnbot` * `Applebot` * `Applebot-Extended` * `DuckDuckBot` * `Slurp` * `Baiduspider` * `YandexBot` * `YandexImages` * `Sogou` `Google-Extended` is a robots.txt control token, not a separate HTTP request agent. `ExaSearchBot-Images` and `ExaUser-Images` are separate image fetchers, not Exa text agents. Image and other non-HTML assets stay outside page conversion. `Applebot-Extended` is a robots.txt control governing use of data crawled by Applebot; requests carrying that string defensively receive the original response. Unknown or conflicting labels are not treated as a verified provider. A provider can retrieve through another service, a cache or a generic browser; the label alone does not reveal that route. ## Tested delivery. Honest boundaries. We test declared-agent routing, format preferences and published context on connected websites. Operator-spoofed requests test compatibility; they do not establish that an AI provider visited, used the content or cited a business. [Explore the research →](https://optiview.ai/proof/) · [Inspect the compatibility audit](https://optiview.ai/proof/agent-coverage/evidence.json) Sources and testing scope Documentation reviewed 2026-11-03. Provider documentation and Cloudflare’s operator-maintained reference support different levels of specificity. YouBot and Mariner are retained compatibility labels; this directory does not assert that a provider API always uses them. Website firewalls, robots rules, rate limits and source-review decisions can prevent preparation. Coverage describes supported request handling; it does not promise every request receives prepared content.

Parse converts supplied HTML into clean Markdown and source metadata. Retrieve fetches an eligible public HTTPS webpage and prepares its content. Publish helps a verified business prepare its own website content and make approved Narrative Graph context available through a supported connection. Parse and Retrieve use application keys and a prepaid developer wallet. Publish has separate website setup, ownership checks and a subscription. Optiview does not control whether an outside AI service discovers, uses or cites the resulting content. Applies to: Optiview ## Why we matter ### A clearer source, from website content to business context Webpages mix useful information with navigation, layout and application code. Businesses may also have important qualifications, answers and context that are not clearly published. Optiview gives developers a way to prepare source content for their applications, and gives businesses a way to publish the context their teams approve. Your application chooses how to use Parse and Retrieve results. Your business controls what it publishes through Publish. Clearer publishing makes information available; it does not determine an AI system’s answer. Each outside service chooses its own retrieval, recommendations and citations. ## What we offer ### Three products, with separate jobs and clear pricing - **Optiview Parse:** Supply complete HTML and a source URL. Receive clean Markdown, source and output hashes, parser details and processing warnings. Parse does not fetch the URL or execute JavaScript. A successful page uses 1 credit. - **Optiview Retrieve:** Supply one eligible public HTTPS URL. Optiview checks supported access and publisher policies, fetches anonymous static HTML and parses it. It does not search the web, execute JavaScript, bypass a login or access private networks. A successful page uses 5 credits total, including parsing. - **Developer credits:** USD $20 buys 20,000 credits shared by Parse and Retrieve. There is no developer subscription, automatic recharge or scheduled credit expiration. Failed jobs consume no credits. Applicable taxes and the total appear at checkout. Source size, quotas and retention limits apply. - **Optiview Publish:** USD $99 per website per month plus applicable tax. Connect a verified website, review the prepared source and optionally maintain approved Narrative Graph context in Identity, Story, Offerings, Trust, Knowledge and Actions. Choose site-wide or exact-page scope. Saving drafts does not publish them. Eligible AI tools can receive prepared Markdown or HTML through supported delivery, while ordinary visitors keep the normal website. Developer credits do not purchase Publish subscriptions. Parse and Retrieve do not add a customer’s private Narrative Graph to arbitrary third-party pages. See https://optiview.ai/pricing/ and https://optiview.ai/developers/ for the current offer and limits. ## Why trust us ### Inspect the output and understand what the evidence establishes Developers can inspect the prepared Markdown, job status, source metadata, processing warnings and credit ledger. Retrieve records the public source response it observed; Parse identifies supplied HTML rather than claiming to verify the current origin. Publish administrators can review parser output, the combined published-output preview, source checks and publication history. A preview is separate from a recorded live delivery. Saved edits remain separate from the active publication until explicitly published. Our experiment pages contain selected first-party AI conversations and source comparisons. Delivery records establish what was served, not downstream ingestion, recommendations, citations or revenue. Observed language matches do not establish causation or a consistent visibility improvement. Explore the evidence and limitations at https://optiview.ai/proof/. ## Helpful knowledge ### Common questions about the three products **Which product should I use?** Use Parse when you already have HTML. Use Retrieve when you need Optiview to fetch one eligible public page first. Use Publish when your business wants to prepare its verified website and publish approved context. **Do Parse and Retrieve require website ownership or DNS changes?** No website connection is needed for these developer products. You remain responsible for source rights and permitted downstream use. Public availability does not grant a reuse license. **How do developer accounts and keys work?** Create a developer workspace and save the personal sign-in key and offline recovery code. Create scoped service keys for server-side applications. Email is an unverified contact identifier, not account-ownership proof or an email-only recovery method. Keep all credentials private. **Can my agent use Optiview?** The authenticated developer API returns prepared content for your application or model. A downloadable JavaScript client and local MCP adapter are available. Your host must authorize sources and any credit expenditure. Compatibility does not establish adoption or a partnership with an AI provider. **Does the API include my private Narrative Graph?** Parse and Retrieve are source-only. Verified website publishing and approved publisher context belong to the separate Publish workflow. **Does Publish replace our website or CMS?** No. Your website stays in its existing system. Your web team establishes and tests a supported connection. Your team reviews and explicitly publishes any Narrative Graph additions. Ordinary visitors retain the normal website experience. **Does every AI tool get the prepared version?** No. Delivery depends on the website connection, source eligibility and the request. Some tools explicitly request Markdown; supported AI requests may also receive prepared Markdown or HTML through eligible delivery paths. Traditional search crawlers retain the original website response. A claimed tool name does not prove the requester’s identity. **Does the demo publish or save to our workspace?** No. The public demo is a separate preview. Its AI-generated examples require review and do not transfer automatically into an approved publication. **Will Optiview guarantee citations or recommendations?** No. Optiview prepares and publishes sources. Outside AI services choose what to retrieve, use and cite. ## What to do next ### Choose your starting point - [Compare Parse, Retrieve and Publish](https://optiview.ai/products/) to choose the right workflow. - [Create a developer workspace](https://app.optiview.ai/developers) for self-service Parse and Retrieve, then add credits and create an application key. - [Read the API quickstart and agent-tool setup](https://optiview.ai/developers/) for request examples, supported sources, errors, quotas and downloads. - [Review pricing and terms](https://optiview.ai/pricing/) for prepaid credits and the separate Publish plan. - [Preview your website](https://optiview.ai/demo/) to inspect prepared content and explore unapproved narrative examples without connecting or publishing. - [Plan Publish setup](https://optiview.ai/onboarding/) with your web team.
