Which AI assistants send you humans?
AI isn’t only crawling you: it’s referring real visitors. Lume measures the human traffic AI assistants send, server-side, even when the referrer is stripped and your analytics buries it in “Direct.”
The visitors AI sends you
Lume tracks 15 AI assistants across 18 referrer domains (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and more) so you can see the humans arriving from AI answers, a channel that tends to convert around 4.4× as often as organic search and stay longer on-site. Find which AI surfaces send real buyers and invest where they already cite you.
Detection that survives stripped referrers
AI apps often send visitors with no referrer at all (roughly a third arrive with nothing), so your analytics files them under “Direct” forever. Lume detects AI referrals server-side by referrer host and utm_source, recovering the visits client-side analytics quietly loses. Reclaim the AI-driven revenue you’re currently miscrediting to “Direct.”
Referrals vs. crawls: both matter
A crawler indexing your content and a human arriving from an AI answer are two different things. Lume keeps them separate: one is the machine reading you, the other is the visit it sent back.
FAQ
Why can’t I see AI traffic in my normal analytics?
Many AI apps strip the referrer or pass none at all, so those visits land in “Direct.” Lume detects them server-side by referrer host and utm_source instead of relying on a referrer that isn’t there.
Is an AI referral the same as an AI crawler?
No. A crawler is a bot reading your site; an AI referral is a human who clicked through from an AI answer. Lume measures both, separately.
Which AI assistants are tracked?
The 15 in Lume’s referrer catalog, spanning 18 domains, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. The list grows as new assistants appear.
Will this get me cited more in AI answers?
No. Lume measures the visitors AI already sends you; it doesn’t rank you, get you cited, or change what the models say. It’s directly observed server-side traffic, not a share-of-voice or GEO tool.
