Operated by Klaviyo
Klaviyo AI is an AI data-collection crawler operated by Klaviyo. It gathers public web content to build or refine training datasets for large language models. Like other AI training crawlers, Klaviyo AI does not influence your search-engine rankings, so you can block it via robots.txt without any SEO penalty if you wish to opt out of AI training.
