OpenAI has introduced a new bot called OAI-AdsBot to support its advertising efforts on ChatGPT. This bot is designed to validate the safety and policy compliance of web pages submitted as ads on ChatGPT. When an ad is submitted, OAI-AdsBot visits the landing page to ensure it meets OpenAI's standards and reviews the content to determine the most relevant timing for displaying the ad to users. Importantly, the data collected by OAI-AdsBot is not used to train generative AI foundation models.
Key Functions of OAI-AdsBot
- Validates the safety of the ad's landing page.
- Ensures the landing page complies with OpenAI's policies.
- Reviews landing page content for ad relevance.
Technical Details
The user-agent string for the bot is:

This new crawler aligns with OpenAI’s advertising activities on ChatGPT, providing a dedicated tool to monitor and verify ad content.
