CHICAGO: #ai--Fingerprint, the industry leader in device intelligence, today announced the launch of Bot Directory, a continuously updated, searchable repository of AI tools, bots, and crawlers designed to give customers, partners, and the internet community visibility into automated web traffic. Powered by Fingerprint’s Bot Detection Smart Signal, the public resource helps organizations distinguish human and automated website activities.

Bots account for the majority of web traffic, and nearly half of tech leaders are experiencing AI-driven fraud attacks. Yet many organizations still rely on legacy bot directories built before the rise of generative AI, which make it difficult to differentiate types of automated traffic, including verified AI agents and malicious browser automation.

Fingerprint continuously updates Bot Directory as it detects new AI agents and bots. The searchable and filterable directory helps users understand a bot’s identity, provider, and purpose. Users can test their own AI agents for Web Bot Auth (WBA) compliance and submit them for inclusion in the directory.

“We are building for an internet that is increasingly composed of automated traffic,” said Valentin Vasilyev, co-founder and CTO, Fingerprint. “As AI agents act on behalf of people, businesses must be able to accurately distinguish helpful automation from malicious activity.”
