24 alternatives to CrawlerCheck
Since the last Show HN 7 months ago, I've shipped some major updates: • Operators Directory – browse 160+ crawlers by company (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).

Trails▲81Hey all, Justin here. I previously built Phind, the AI search engine for developers. One of the biggest problems we had there was figuring out what went wrong with bad searches. We had tons of searches per day, but less than 1% of users gave any explicit feedback. So we were either manually digging through searches or making general system improvements and hoping they helped. This problem gets harder with agents. Traces are longer and more complex. It takes more effort to review them, so I'm building a tool that lets you analyze LLM outputs directly to help developers of LLM apps and agents…

Hello HN, I’m Kamil. The past months have been filled with news about ChatGPT, Bard, etc. Thankfully, there are some heroic attempts to bring that power to the users. I wanted to contribute to that effort with my side project, an extension for Chrome: it makes searching the history by meaning – instead of the exact words – possible. This is only a proof of concept, building on the excellent transformers.js[0], and running entirely in the browser. My goal here is to explore the possibilities unlocked by a client-side AI. I would love to have your feedback, to know which direction that project…

With AI, it's faster than ever to ship a marketing site... but most of what gets generated is slop that was never built to be found. Plus the tools meant to catch that fall short: most SEO auditors cost money, don't play nicely with your agents, or tell you what's wrong without telling you how to actually rank for SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization: being cited by AI search like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews). crawlie fixes that! It's 100% free, it's local-first, it's agent-native (MCP baked in!), and every issue it finds comes with why it matters and how to fix it.

CabbageSEO▲12I built a tool that scans AI platforms with buyer questions relevant to your domain and shows you whether they mention you or not. Enter your domain, it generates queries based on your space, sends them to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI, then scores you out of 100 based on how often you show up in the responses. The part I think is actually useful: it doesn't just tell you the problem. It shows you which queries you're missing from, why, and gives you fix pages (structured content designed to be citable by LLMs) and weekly action plans. Free scan on the homepage, no signup needed. Tech:…
