# BotView

> BotView is an AI crawler visibility tool that shows website owners what Google and AI crawlers actually see when they visit their site. It checks if bots like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot can access your content, and provides visual proof with dual-view screenshots.

## What BotView Does

BotView scans your website and shows you exactly what search engine and AI crawlers see. Unlike tools that only check robots.txt, BotView renders your pages with a real headless browser and compares the human view vs the crawler view side-by-side.

It checks 14 AI crawlers: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, CCBot, cohere-ai, Bytespider, Diffbot, FacebookBot, Applebot-Extended, and OAI-SearchBot.

## Key Features
