Bing just found Genymotion: 1,556 BingBot requests and what it means
This week, BingBot made 1,556 requests to rozz.genymotion.com. The 1,556 requests were higher than the requests from any other bot, including ChatGPT-User.
ROZZ observed ChatGPT activity. The citation counts had grown quickly: 42 in January, 345 in the first week of February, 1,077 the following week.
BingBot appeared at a scale not seen before. BingBot had 1,556 requests in seven days.
The data show that BingBot surpassed GPTBot (129 requests) and ByteSpider (1,225) and surpassed ChatGPT-User citations (1,329). This pattern marks a shift from a ChatGPT-focused story to a multi-platform crawl.
Key Findings
- BingBot: 1,556 requests (Feb 17–24), the largest single bot category this week
- ChatGPT-User citations: 1,329, up from 1,077 the prior week (+23%)
- Total LLM bot requests: 3,188
- Six platforms now crawling the mirror site: OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, Meta, ByteDance, Perplexity
The Data
All bots (Feb 17–24, 2026)
| Bot | Requests | Purpose | Platform | |---|---|---|---| | BingBot | 1,556 | index | Microsoft | | ChatGPT-User | 1,329 | Live citations | OpenAI | | ByteSpider | 1,225 | Training | ByteDance | | CCBot | 382 | Training | Common Crawl | | OpenAI GPTBot | 129 | Training | OpenAI | | OpenAI SearchBot | 75 | index | OpenAI | | ClaudeBot | 21 | Training | Anthropic | | PerplexityBot | 14 | Training | Perplexity | | Meta AI | 13 | Training | Meta | | Total | 3,188 | — | — |
ChatGPT-User citation growth
| Period | Citations | |---|---| | Jan 3 – Feb 2 (30 days) | 42 | | Feb 2–9 (7 days) | 345 | | Feb 10–17 (7 days) | 1,077 | | Feb 17–24 (7 days) | 1,329 |
What BingBot is and why its crawl matters
BingBot feeds three Microsoft AI products: Copilot (the AI assistant in Windows 11 and Microsoft 365), Bing AI (the experience in Edge), and Azure OpenAI (enterprise customers run hosted GPT models against a live web index).
When BingBot indexes a page, that content enters the retrieval layer for all three products.
So 1,556 requests is the same training-to-citation pipeline observed with OpenAI, now starting over at Microsoft scale: training → indexing → live citation.
The requests were spread across all seven days and covered both Q&A pages and GEO content pages. ROZZ does not yet have a Copilot-User equivalent to confirm live citations the way ChatGPT-User does for OpenAI. Based on what was observed with OpenAI, Copilot citations are expected to start showing up around mid-March.
What’s being cited
The questions being cited are consistent week over week: system requirements, macOS compatibility, pricing, Play Store setup, how to download the free version.
These questions are asked when deciding whether to use the product, not after signup.
Top cited Q&A pages
| Bots | Q&A Page | |---|---| | What are the system requirements? | ChatGPT-User, ByteSpider | | How do I download Genymotion Desktop and what are the system requirements? | ChatGPT-User, ByteSpider | | Does the emulator work with the latest macOS? | ChatGPT-User, ByteSpider | | What pricing plans are available? | ChatGPT-User, ByteSpider | | Is Genymotion free to use? | ChatGPT-User | | How can I enable Google Play Store on Genymotion? | ChatGPT-User |
The two that haven’t followed through: ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot
ClaudeBot had a real crawl on February 3. It went through roughly 60 pages and Q&As in one session—a burst pattern similar to GPTBot in January. Then it stopped. Since then: robots.txt and the homepage, every few days, nothing else. No follow-up content crawl, no Q&A deep dive, nothing resembling the secondary and tertiary waves observed from GPTBot on January 18–19 and January 25–26. Three weeks of waiting. No return.
PerplexityBot is even lighter. It has been visiting since early February, but only 1–4 pages per session and always the same small set: a rooting guide, the Android 16 beta post, the SaaS product page, the system requirements page. It hasn’t tried the Q&A index, hasn’t touched llms.txt, hasn’t done anything that looks like systematic indexing. Total: 14 requests this week, 30 over 60 days.
What we’re testing next
The content on the mirror site is the same content that GPTBot and BingBot found worthwhile. Q&A pages are Schema.org-marked, the llms.txt file is present, and the sitemap is clean.
ClaudeBot read the page, found 60 pieces of content worth crawling, and then apparently decided it had seen enough. The plan is to make llms-full.txt more prominent at the root of the website and report back.
What to watch for next
Three weeks after GPTBot’s mass crawl in January, ChatGPT-User citations started appearing.
BingBot just ran a similar mass crawl. If the same timeline holds, Copilot citations should start showing up around March 10–17.
That would mean two independent citation pipelines running from the same content—OpenAI and Microsoft—built on the same mirror site infrastructure. One architecture, two platforms citing. ROZZ will report back when observations are made.
