MoonshotBot
recommended: observeMoonshotBot is a web crawler operated by Moonshot AI that downloads website content for Kimi and related Moonshot AI services.
What it does
MoonshotBot crawls websites to build AI training datasets, and its operator decides which sites, how often, and how deep it goes. Expect broad sweeps that fetch far more pages per visit than a search crawler would, on an unpredictable schedule. Volume can run heavy while a collection pass is underway, then stop entirely.
How to identify it
