Overview
SBIntuitions-SearchBot is a user-triggered AI search fetcher operated by SB Intuitions Corp. for its Sarashina service.
When a user asks a question, the fetcher browses relevant websites to improve search-result quality and may include links to those pages in its response. SB Intuitions states that the retrieved information is not used for AI development.
Its documented User-Agent and robots token are SBIntuitions-SearchBot.
The identity is verified with High confidence from current operator documentation, and the operator states that its crawlers follow the Robots Exclusion Protocol.
The User-Agent remains spoofable, so it identifies the claimed client but does not authenticate the origin of an individual request.
