Why Is AmazonBuyForMe Visiting My Website?
A user gave AmazonBuyForMe a task that your site may help complete, such as researching a product, comparing options, or filling out a form. It likely reached your site through links or search results, much like a person would.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From AmazonBuyForMe?
AmazonBuyForMe operates a real browser, loading pages, running JavaScript, setting cookies, and navigating multi-step flows much like a person would. Because its route reflects the task it was given rather than a fixed crawl order, visits may look irregular. A session may pause while the agent processes a page, then continue somewhere unexpected.
Does AmazonBuyForMe Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. AmazonBuyForMe is not expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.
Is AmazonBuyForMe Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. AmazonBuyForMe is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking AmazonBuyForMe Affect AI Search or Citations?
Blocking AmazonBuyForMe can prevent people using the agent from accessing or acting on your website. It does not directly control whether your pages appear in an AI search index.
Does AmazonBuyForMe Access Private Content?
Possibly, if a user grants access. AmazonBuyForMe operates a real browser session, so when someone signs in through it, the agent can see anything available to that account. Without credentials, it can reach only what an anonymous visitor can.
How Can I Verify a Request From AmazonBuyForMe?
Agent Analytics tracks AmazonBuyForMe visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "AmazonBuyForMe". Look for browser-like sessions that move through pages faster or more methodically than a typical person. Because AmazonBuyForMe does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
