What does the AI Discovery pixel detect?

The AI Discovery pixel is a small JavaScript snippet that detects when website visitors arrive from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot.

The AI Discovery pixel is a lightweight JavaScript snippet, around 3 KB, that you install on your website. When a visitor lands on a page with the pixel installed, the pixel checks whether they came from a known AI assistant and sends a signal to Revenue Proven if it detects an AI referral.

Which AI assistants are detected

  • ChatGPT at chatgpt.com
  • Claude at claude.ai
  • Google Gemini at gemini.google.com
  • Perplexity at perplexity.ai
  • Microsoft Copilot at copilot.microsoft.com

How detection works

Detection is based on the HTTP referrer header sent by the visitor's browser. When a user clicks a link inside an AI assistant, the browser passes the origin domain as the referrer. The pixel reads this referrer and checks it against the list of known AI assistant domains. Visits from other sources are ignored.

Privacy and data handling

Revenue Proven stores only a truncated IP address identifying the network but not the individual device, the page URL visited, the timestamp, and the detected AI source. Full IP addresses are never stored. The pixel filters out bot user agents to exclude crawler traffic. All data is stored in Revenue Proven's Singapore-region database and used solely for your analytics.
