enabled AI bot in channel chat, there are a good number chat interaction with AI bot on the first day, noticed there is a big jump on “Anonymous users” in the pageviews chart. my guess, very likely it is related to the AI bot channel chat ? does this make sense counting as anonymous user ? thanks… [image]

Yeah it will not cause page views, the tools access the database directly via the backend

Chat is not even enabled for anonymous, see: [image] Allow visitors and search engines to see chat channels Feature All channels have a URL. The quality of the content is not worse than in the topics. I think it’s time to add a setting to make them publicly available and indexed by search engines So whatever traffic this new traffic is, it is not really possible it is coming from chat. You are going to have to look through web logs (or configure something like google analytics) to get a good understanding on what is going on at the micro level.

Thanks Sam, that might be a coincidence, we turned on ai bot chat today. While, still , dont think that could be that many guest pageviews today… Thanks will dig into it

[image] Sam Saffron: Chat is not even enabled for anonymous, see I believe that’s not what they had meant, I think they were more asking if the AI bot itself (when used in chat by users) was causing anonymous pageviews.

Yes, thanks Firepup, i was wondering that, maybe when the ai bot retrieves messages in channel chat, that counts? Seems not, assuming it is done via the api … hmm

AI bot chat activities counted as anonymous users pageviews?
