Google's AI crawler, Google-Extended, is capable of rendering JavaScript similar to Googlebot. In a discussion, Martin Splitt confirmed its functioning for AI services like Gemini. He specified that both crawlers utilize Google's Web Rendered Service (WRS), making it easier for Gemini to access complex web content compared to other AI engines. This integration highlights Google’s advanced capabilities in rendering and understanding web languages, ensuring Gemini's robust performance in content analysis.
Martin said, "we don't share what we see with web search but Google's, I think it is called Google extended, the AI crawler that Gemini uses, also renders."
Meaning, both Googlebot and Google-Extended both use Google's Web Rendered Service.
Martin said, "So WRS is shared across different Google services, including Web Search and Gemini."
This lets Google's Gemini service also see content that may be more challenging for other newer AI engines to access.
