This identity is more closely connected to a user-triggered fetch than an autonomous crawl, but the server request still does not reveal the prompt, answer, or whether the fetched content was shown.
What it does not prove
- Which user or prompt initiated the fetch.
- The page was quoted or linked in the final answer.
- The visit created a human session or revenue.

ChatGPT-User questions
How do I know a request came from ChatGPT-User?
Talivia first matches the ChatGPT-User User-Agent token. When a trusted source IP matches provider-published ranges, the request can receive stronger verification confidence.
How can I allow or block ChatGPT-User?
Add a rule for ChatGPT-User in robots.txt and check the provider’s official documentation for behavior. robots.txt expresses crawl preferences; it is not access control or identity verification.
What does Talivia store?
Talivia stores the hostname, sanitized path, method, User-Agent, optional status, classification, and verification result. It does not store page bodies, cookies, authorization headers, query strings, or raw IP addresses.
