Expected Behavior
TwinAgent operates a real browser, loading pages, running JavaScript, setting cookies, and navigating multi-step flows much like a person would. Because its route reflects the task it was given rather than a fixed crawl order, visits may look irregular. A session may pause while the agent processes a page, then continue somewhere unexpected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block TwinAgent?
Usually not. TwinAgent browses on behalf of a person trying to read, compare, or buy something on your site. Blocking it may prevent that person from completing the task and send them elsewhere. It does not affect traditional search rankings. For context, 2% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for TwinAgent.
Does TwinAgent Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. TwinAgent is not expected to follow robots.txt directives, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.
Does TwinAgent Access Private Content?
Possibly, if a user grants access. TwinAgent operates a real browser session, so when someone signs in through it, the agent can see anything available to that account. Without credentials, it can reach only what an anonymous visitor can.
Why Is TwinAgent Visiting My Website?
A user gave TwinAgent a task that your site may help complete, such as researching a product, comparing options, or filling out a form. It likely reached your site through links or search results, much like a person would.
How Can I Tell if TwinAgent Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks TwinAgent 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 "TwinAgent". Look for browser-like sessions that move through pages faster or more methodically than a typical person. Because TwinAgent does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
