Detect AI agents on your own terms
Agentic-AI traffic is the fastest-growing class on the web. Prynt classifies it as a distinct verdict — so you allow, throttle or block it deliberately, not blindly.
Why AI agents break old bot rules
Traditional bot detection returns a single boolean: bot or not. But an AI agent booking a flight for a real user is not the same threat as a scraper harvesting your catalog. Treating them identically means you either block helpful automation or wave through abuse. Prynt classifies agentic AI as its own category so policy can be precise.
Known agent signatures
ChatGPT Operator, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini agents, GPTBot, CCBot and more, matched by User-Agent and request shape.
Source ASN & network
Agent traffic often originates from a handful of cloud ASNs — a strong corroborating signal when the User-Agent is hidden.
JA4 TLS fingerprint
Captured before JavaScript runs, exposing an automation TLS stack behind a spoofed browser User-Agent.
Distinct verdict
Returned as its own class, not merged into "bot", so your policy can treat AI agents separately.
Identity even when the agent hides
Serious automation spoofs its User-Agent. Prynt corroborates with the source ASN, the JA4 TLS fingerprint read before any script executes, and headless automation tells — so a browser User-Agent riding a Python or Go TLS stack is caught.
