Show HN: AI Knows Us – see who ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend instead of you

AI Knows Us's launch of a platform that surfaces the exact questions buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI, then publishes ready‑to‑quote pages and reports weekly performance, signals a new way for AI models to pull brand‑specific content directly from websites. For website owners, this means AI crawlers will start targeting not just generic product pages but the very query‑answer snippets that AI assistants surface to shoppers. The traffic surge will be bot‑heavy, and the content extracted will appear in AI overviews, potentially driving referral clicks but also exposing sites to unwanted scraping. If your llms.txt file doesn’t explicitly allow these AI agents, they may be blocked, reducing the visibility of your brand in AI‑driven search results. **Actionable tips:** 1. Update your llms.txt to include a `User‑Agent: *` entry that permits crawling of the new “question‑answer” pages while disallowing sensitive directories (e.g., `/admin`, `/private`). 2. Deploy a bot‑tracking solution that flags high‑frequency requests from known AI crawlers (e.g., `ChatGPTBot`, `PerplexityBot`) and set rate‑limit rules in your web server to prevent overload. 3. Add structured data (`FAQPage` schema) to the published answer pages so AI models can safely surface your content without needing to scrape raw HTML, giving you more control over how the information is presented.
