About Apple
Apple operates Applebot to power Siri, Spotlight suggestions, and Apple Intelligence features. Applebot-Extended is a secondary user-agent that allows web publishers to control whether their content is used for training Apple's generative AI models while still remaining in search results. This separation gives publishers granular control over AI training versus search functionality.
