Expected Behavior
Amzn-User fetches one page at a time, the moment someone asks a question it can answer, so it never crawls your site. How much you see depends on how many people use Amzn-User and how often they ask about what your site covers. A popular assistant can hit you steadily, while a single user or a niche one stays quiet between occasional spikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Amzn-User?
Probably not. Amzn-User fetches a page when someone asks a question it can answer, and the response cites and links to your site. Blocking it removes you from those answers without improving your Google rankings, because assistants play no part in traditional search indexing. For comparison, 2% of the top websites we track already have robots.txt rules for Amzn-User.
Does Amzn-User Respect Robots.txt?
Yes. Amzn-User is expected to honor robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms Amzn-User actually honors it.
Does Amzn-User Access Private Content?
It has no way in. Amzn-User fetches pages the way an anonymous visitor loads a URL, with no stored logins. Anything behind a paywall or a login stays out of its reach.
Why Is Amzn-User Visiting My Website?
Someone asked Amazon's assistant a question your page can help answer. Amzn-User retrieved the page in that moment to ground the answer, usually with a citation linking back to you.
How Can I Tell if Amzn-User Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Amzn-User 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 "Amzn-User". Look for fetches of individual pages that do not follow a crawl pattern. Keep in mind that Amzn-User doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
