Reflectionbot

Fully verifiable

The web crawler of Reflection AI, which visits publicly available pages to help build and improve the company's open models. Its bot page is unusually complete for an AI crawler: it names the single user-agent token the crawler uses, tells site owners to match on that token rather than the whole string, publishes the crawler's address ranges as a JSON feed, and states that the addresses reverse-resolve under the operator's own domain.
