DeveloperSee which AI agents are reading your content — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more — tracked in real time via the Pierview dashboard.
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini crawl websites to generate answers for their users. Pierview Agent Analytics detects these visits and reports them to your Pierview dashboard, giving you visibility into which AI systems are reading your content, how often, and which pages they visit.

Key Features
- Named bot identification — distinguishes between 25+ AI agents including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Bing, and more
- Zero performance impact — detection and reporting use a non-blocking background request that adds no latency to page loads
- Privacy controls — redact sensitive query parameters and exclude specific URL path prefixes from being tracked
- No database tables — lightweight footprint, clean uninstall
- Test connection — verify your API key and endpoint are working from the settings page
- Enable/disable without deactivating — pause tracking at any time from the General settings tab
How It Works
- On each front-end request, the plugin reads the incoming User-Agent header
- It checks the User-Agent against a list of 25+ known AI agent patterns
- If a match is found, a non-blocking HTTP POST is sent to the Pierview platform in the background
- The event appears in your Pierview dashboard with agent name, page path, and timestamp
- Regular human visitors and WordPress admin traffic are never tracked

Privacy & Security
- AI traffic only — only requests from known AI agent User-Agents are reported; regular visitors are never tracked
- Admin traffic excluded — wp-admin, wp-login.php, REST API, and feed requests are always skipped
- Query parameter redaction — strip sensitive parameters (e.g.
token,session_id) from paths before they leave your server - Path exclusions — exclude entire sections of your site (e.g.
/checkout/,/members/) from tracking - Nonce-protected admin — all admin actions use WordPress nonces and capability checks
- No client-side tracking — server-side only; no cookies, no JavaScript injected into your pages
External Services
This plugin transmits data to the Pierview analytics service when a known AI agent bot is detected visiting your site. No data is sent for regular human visitors.
The following data is sent on each detected bot visit: the bot’s User-Agent string, normalized agent name, your site’s hostname, the request path, HTTP method, HTTP referer header, the visitor’s IP address, and a UTC timestamp.
Data is only transmitted when:
* The plugin is enabled (via the “Enable Tracking” setting)
* A request matches a known AI agent User-Agent pattern
* A valid API key is configured
