User agent

Requests from ChatGPT-Browser carry a user agent like this:

Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ChatGPT-Browser/1.0; +https://openai.com/bot)

Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):

ChatGPT-Browser

Anyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.

How Vireo counts ChatGPT-Browser

Vireo keeps requests from ChatGPT-Browser out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under AI crawlers, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.

Because it's an AI crawler, its requests also count toward the pages AI crawlers took, which Vireo shows next to the readers AI assistants sent back. See how the AI assistants card works.

Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over ChatGPT-Browser's user agents.
