Every figure from a real fetch as GPTBot on 2 September 2026, counted with cl100k_base.
This response
You are ClaudeBot (Anthropic). Citable recognised you as an AI agent, so this is https://getcitable.in/research/what-ai-actually-reads with the UI removed — the content only. A browser asking for the same address gets the full designed page.
Method
- Fetch the homepage with the GPTBot user agent, following redirects.
- Count the response body with cl100k_base, the tokeniser GPT-4 class models use.
- Strip comments, script, style and tags; the remainder is the content share.
- Fetch robots.txt and evaluate it for ten AI user agents.
- One site of 16 attempted failed to respond and is excluded rather than counted as zero.

About Citable
Citable strips the UI from a website for AI agents and serves them only the content.
When an AI agent — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or any of the 81 that Citable recognises — opens a page, Citable removes the theme, scripts, navigation and layout and serves only the content: the same facts, at the same URL, on the site's own domain. People and Google still get the full designed page.
