What is AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval?

AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval is operated by Ai2, a non-profit AI research institute. It collects resources used in deep research queries performed by open source AI models.

What AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval means for your site

AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval fetches your pages in real-time when someone asks Allen Institute for AI a question your content can answer. Your content may be quoted, summarized, or linked in the AI's response. This is a new form of visibility: your pages help answer real questions, but the traffic often stays within the AI platform.

Blocking AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval prevents this AI from citing your content. Unless you have a specific reason to restrict access, allowing it increases your AI visibility.
