Expected Behavior
omgili crawls websites to build AI training datasets, and its operator decides which sites, how often, and how deep it goes. Expect broad sweeps that fetch far more pages per visit than a search crawler would, on an unpredictable schedule. Volume can run heavy while a collection pass is underway, then stop entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block omgili?
Block it if you want control over how your work trains AI models. omgili downloads your content into training datasets without attribution, compensation, or any promise of traffic back. The case for allowing it is reach, because models trained on your content can surface your brand in AI answers. Neither choice changes your Google rankings. For comparison, 13% of the top websites we track already have robots.txt rules for omgili.
Does omgili Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. omgili is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms omgili actually follows it.
Does omgili Access Private Content?
omgili targets public content, but the boundary is not always respected. Some training data scrapers go after paywalled or gated pages when the operator wants that data. If a page loads without signing in, assume it can be collected.
Why Is omgili Visiting My Website?
Your content matched what Webz.io wants in a training dataset. omgili discovers pages mechanically, through links from other sites, sitemaps, and seed lists, not because anyone chose your site personally.
How Can I Tell if omgili Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks omgili visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user agent string contains "omgili". Look for broad sweeps that fetch large numbers of pages in sequence. Keep in mind that omgili doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
