Reflectionbot caught crawling sites heavily—is Reflection.ai building a search engine?
dejanseo · x · 2026-10-21
SEO practitioner dejanseo publicly asks Reflection.ai why its Reflectionbot/1.0 crawler has been so busy: building a search engine, or just collecting training data?
The screenshot shows real-time server logs with Reflectionbot hitting multiple paths (/blog/reddit-ai/, /tools/gemini-tokenizer/, emotion story pages) at second-level intervals alongside Googlebot, Amazonbot, and Baiduspider. A first-hand sighting of Reflection.ai's data collection; purpose unconfirmed.
