About Bikoosh

Bikoosh is an automated watch platform. It reads public web pages under an honest, robots-obeying crawler, records what they say with the date and the source, and publishes the facts as pages, feeds and open datasets. It has run since August 2026 and publishes twelve products.

What it publishes

• Bikoosh: cloned short-term-rental listings, with a free listing checker and a weekly fraud report.
• The Watch family: Author, Obituary, Therapist, Game Title and Dealer Watch, impersonation monitoring for each field.
• DataWork Watch: whether paid AI data-work programs accept applications, what they advertise, and sourced legitimacy evidence.
• Shutdown Watch: product and service shutdown deadlines with migration paths.
• Tender Watch: open public-sector works tenders for blocks of flats from five official sources, plus Section 20 tools.
• Kickoff Watch: kickoff times and licensed broadcasters per country.
• AEO Watch: whether AI answer engines can read and cite a site, from its robots.txt to its rendered text.
• Answer Watch: which brands one AI answer engine names for a category, recorded with a date.

How it works

Every fact on this site was read from a page by the platform's own crawler, BikooshBot, which obeys robots.txt, sends an honest User Agent, never impersonates another agent, and treats a refusal as permanent. Every published claim carries its source and the date it was read. Where the platform records a verdict, the evidence is cited on the same page; where it has none, the page says so. The full method for each product is on the methodology page.

How it is funded

Three things, all of them visible on the site. Paid memberships and monitoring plans, billed through Gumroad as merchant of record. One labelled sponsor slot on a shutdown page or an AI crawler guide, which never enters a dataset, a feed, or the order anything is listed in. An optional licence for attribution-free commercial reuse of the public datasets, which stay free to read either way. There is no advertising network and no affiliate placement. Every public page, feed and dataset stays free.

Corrections and contact

Corrections and disputes go to [email protected]. They are applied by hand and recorded in the page's change history. The corrections page describes the process. Journalists will find quotable numbers with their derivations in the press kit.
