OAI-AdsBot

Fully verifiable

OpenAI's fetcher for advertising on ChatGPT. When an advertiser submits an ad, OAI-AdsBot visits the submitted landing page to check that it complies with OpenAI's ad policies and to judge when the ad is relevant to show. OpenAI states it only visits pages submitted as ads and that what it collects is not used to train generative AI foundation models. It has its own published IP range list, separate from GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User.
