# TallyBot

> Learn about TallyBot and how we use automated crawling to enhance form creation

## What is TallyBot?

TallyBot is Tally's web crawler that automatically visits websites to gather information and enhance your form-building experience. Our bot operates with the user agent:

```
TallyBot/1.0 (+https://tally.so/bot)
```

## What We Do

TallyBot serves two primary purposes to improve your Tally experience:

### 1. Form Creation Enhancement

* **Content Analysis**: We extract relevant information from websites you reference to suggest better form titles, descriptions, and field labels
* **Context Understanding**: When you're creating forms based on web content, TallyBot helps understand the context to provide more relevant suggestions

### 2. Resource Validation

* **Link Verification**: We check if external resources, links, or assets you reference in your forms are accessible and valid
* **Asset Availability**: Verify that images, documents, or other media you embed in forms are reachable

## Technical Details

### Request Behavior

* **Rate Limiting**: TallyBot respects standard rate limiting practices and won't overwhelm your servers
* **robots.txt**: We honor robots.txt directives and crawling restrictions
* **User Agent**: All requests include our identifiable user agent string for transparency

### Respectful Crawling

* **Minimal Impact**: We minimize server load by making efficient, targeted requests
* **Cache-Friendly**: We respect cache headers and avoid unnecessary repeat requests
* **Standard Protocols**: We follow web standards and best practices for automated crawling
