AISearchBot

AISearchBot is the crawler of a managed AI-search service. We index the public pages of sites that have embedded our search widget, so we can answer their visitors from the site's own content — with links to sources, in the visitor's language. The bot only visits our clients' sites and respects robots.txt.

What is AISearchBot?

AISearchBot is the web crawler operated by Achla AI, a managed AI-search service. It indexes the public pages of websites that have embedded the Achla AI search widget, so those sites can answer their own visitors from their own content, with source links. AISearchBot only visits Achla AI customers' sites, obeys robots.txt, and identifies itself with a fixed User-Agent, AISearchBot/1.0 (+https://achlaai.com/bot; managed site search), from a single static IP address, 35.223.115.47. You can confirm a request is genuinely from AISearchBot by checking that both the User-Agent string and the source IP match these values. The bot does not submit form data, does not attempt logins, and does not crawl pages disallowed in your robots.txt. To block it, disallow AISearchBot in robots.txt.

How do I verify AISearchBot is legitimate?

User-Agent
AISearchBot/1.0 (+https://achlaai.com/bot; managed site search)
Static IP (egress)
35.223.115.47

The bot always presents this User-Agent string and comes from a single static IP address — use either to identify it reliably in your logs and protection rules.

How do I allow AISearchBot to crawl my site?

Allow our bot to crawl in robots.txt:

User-agent: AISearchBot
Allow: /

If your site sits behind a WAF or firewall, add the bot to the exceptions — by User-Agent or by our IP:

  • Cloudflare: WAF → Custom rules → Skip, condition “User-Agent contains AISearchBot” (or by our IP). Turn off Bot Fight Mode / Browser Integrity Check for it.
  • Google Cloud Armor: an allow rule with request.headers['user-agent'].contains('AISearchBot') or by source IP (our egress IP), priority above blocking rules.
  • Imperva: add our User-Agent (or IP) to the Allowlist / Good Bots so the bot skips the threat filter.

How do I block AISearchBot?

If you don't want the bot to index your site (or part of it), disallow it in robots.txt. The bot respects these rules:

User-agent: AISearchBot
Disallow: /
