Digital intelligence company Similarweb now shows AI Chatbot Traffic as a distinct traffic source from traditional search and other referrals. The company, in a statement on Monday, April 7, said the new AI Chatbot Traffic screen allows marketers and SEO professionals to identify and analyze web traffic originating from popular AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.
“As AI chatbots become core to how people search and make decisions, they’re also emerging as powerful new sources of referral traffic,” the company said, noting that this new feature reflects its commitment to providing the most comprehensive picture of the digital world across more than 200 million websites, 4 million apps, and 7 billion search keywords and now popular AI chatbots.
Similarweb says that with AI Chatbot Traffic, users see the overall estimated traffic volume and which platforms are linking to their content the most. In addition, they can see which pages are receiving the most AI chatbot referrals – displayed along with a list of top prompts that would direct users to each page’s content.
The company says, much like knowing the keywords that drive the most traffic is important to traditional search engine optimization, knowing the pages that attract the most AI chatbot traffic allows marketers to adjust their content strategy for the next generation of digital marketing optimization.
“The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation with the rise of AI-driven search,” said Or Offer, CEO of Similarweb. “Our AI Chatbot Referral Traffic monitoring empowers businesses to navigate this new terrain by providing unparalleled insights into how AI interactions drive web traffic, enabling our clients to stay ahead in the competitive digital marketplace.”

Basta, a nonprofit serving first-generation college students, will enhance its career navigation tool Seekr by integrating a new AI-powered “job match score” based on the American Opportunity Index. The upgrade will help users identify positions best aligned with their skills and goals.
CodePath, which aims to create an AI-native generation of engineers, CTOs and founders, will use the investment to expand nationally and deepen its partnerships with colleges in Washington state. The funding will support the integration of AI into its curriculum and student services, offering personalized career support and immersive work experiences.
“AI’s influence and technology is rapidly transforming the way each of us work and live and we believe there is a significant opportunity to leverage this technology to address the gaps in career navigation, help young adults build critical job skills, and provide helpful insights to successfully navigate job markets,” said Vivek Varma, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chair at the Schultz Family Foundation.
According to the official release, the Foundation’s investments follow a year-long effort to assess the barriers young people face in navigating the career landscape. By funding scalable, AI-powered solutions, the Foundation seeks to enhance access to critical resources for those with limited education and experience, and ultimately, to increase economic mobility nationwide.

3. Forcepoint Acquires Getvisibility to Advance AI-Powered Data Security
Global data security company Forcepoint announced on Monday, Apr 7, 2025, that it has completed its acquisition of Getvisibility, a specialist in AI-powered Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection and Response (DDR). This acquisition expands Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere platform, enabling organizations to manage and mitigate data risk in real time across hybrid cloud and generative AI (GenAI) environments.
The company says the acquisition strengthens Forcepoint’s ability to deliver full-lifecycle data security—from discovery and classification to real-time risk mitigation—across hybrid environments, cloud platforms and GenAI ecosystems.
“By bringing Getvisibility fully into the Forcepoint family, we’re making it possible to see risk as it happens and stop it before it spreads. We built modern DLP—and now, together with Getvisibility, we’re building out AI Mesh and risk insights to understand, adapt and secure data before it’s lost or misused—while helping our customers embrace innovation with confidence,” said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint.
AI Mesh Integration for Next-Gen Protection
At the core of the integration is Getvisibility’s patented AI Mesh technology—an interconnected network of fine-tuned, task-specific AI models designed to deliver high-accuracy data discovery, contextual classification, and real-time risk response. These AI-driven DSPM and DDR capabilities will now power Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere architecture, allowing customers to:
- Continuously discover and classify sensitive data across SaaS, GenAI, cloud, on-premises, and email systems
- Instantly detect high-risk behaviour and enforce security policies before data loss occurs
- Dynamically adapt data protection across diverse channels including BYOD devices, networks, endpoints, and GenAI tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Google Gemini.
Forcepoint and Getvisibility have worked together for more than two years prior to this acquisition, jointly delivering AI-driven security solutions to global enterprises, MSSPs, and government entities. The full integration promises to deepen capabilities and reduce operational complexity while maintaining compliance and mitigate cyber risk.
“This acquisition is the next step in Forcepoint’s mission to redefine data security for the AI era,” the company said.
