Bots and AI agents

The Bots & AI agents section of the Dashboard shows the automated traffic Fingerprint detected in your workspace, from AI agents and assistants to search crawlers and browser automation tools. It groups your detections by category, provider, and identity, so you can see which bots reach your application and whether each one is who it claims to be. Use it to understand how much of your traffic is automated, find bots that fail identity verification, and inspect the full context of a single automation event.

​

Availability

While the Automation Intelligence API is in Public Preview, the Overview page is available to every Fingerprint workspace on any plan. To add Bot Detection to your plan, upgrade to Pro Plus. If you have an Enterprise plan, contact your Customer Success Manager or the Fingerprint support team.

​

Overview page

The Overview page shows bot traffic trends across your workspace as a row of key metrics, a timeline chart, distribution lists, and an identity breakdown. You can access the Overview page by visiting Dashboard > Bots & AI agents > Overview.

​

Data sources

Fingerprint detects automation in two ways. Switching tabs changes the data behind every metric, chart, and list on the page. Each tab shows the number of events recorded from that source. For guidance on which detection method fits your traffic, see Bot Detection overview.

​

Filters

The filter bar applies to every metric, chart, and list on the page. Filter state is stored in the page URL, so Copy link shares the exact view you are looking at.

Show available filters

Filter	Description
Bot name	Find detections of a specific bot, such as Claude-User or Googlebot
Category	Find detections in a specific bot category
Provider	Find detections of bots operated by a specific provider
Identity	Find detections with a specific identity verification result
Confidence	Find detections reported with high, medium, or low confidence
Proxy	Find detections coming from an IP address detected as a proxy
VPN	Find detections coming from an IP address detected as a VPN
Environment	Find detections associated with a specific environment

​

Key metrics

The key metrics show the size and composition of your bot traffic for the selected period, each with a change compared to the previous period. Spoofed and Unknown are highlighted only when the count is above zero.

​

Timeline charts

The timeline chart plots one view of your bot traffic over time. Select the chart from the dropdown above it, and switch between Hourly and Daily granularity.

​

Distribution lists

The distribution lists rank the entities that generated the most detections for your current filters.

​

Identity breakdown

The identity breakdown is a matrix of bot categories against identity results, with the number of detections in each cell. Use it to see how trust varies by category. Verified AI assistants and unknown AI agents are different kinds of traffic, even though both appear as bots.

Show identity results

Identity	Description
Verified	Well-known bot with publicly verifiable identity, directed by the bot provider
Signed	Bot that signs its platform via Web Bot Auth, directed by the bot provider’s customers
Unknown	Bot that does not publish a verifiable identity
Spoofed	Bot that claims a public identity but fails verification

Events page

The Events page lists individual automation events, so you can find a specific event and open its full details. You can access the Events page by visiting Dashboard > Bots & AI agents > Events. Above the filter bar, the activity scrubber shows event volume across the whole retention window. Drag the selection to narrow the table to a shorter period, or use the date range picker for a fixed range. The Events page uses the same filters as the Overview page, plus two more: Select any row to open its event details.

Show Available columns

• Date
• Bot
• Identity
• Category
• URL
• IP Address
• Country
• Provider
• Confidence
• Proxy
• VPN
• Event ID

​

Event details page

The event details page shows the full context Fingerprint recorded for a single automation event. On the page you can find:

1. Bot identity: the category, provider, name, and confidence of the detection. The card is titled with the identity result, and reads Bot not detected when the event was not classified as a bot.
2. Geolocation: the IP address, country, city, timezone, coordinates, postal code, ASN, and a map of the approximate location.
3. Network: the origin, referrer, and User-Agent of the request.
4. VPN: whether a VPN was detected, with confidence and the methods that contributed to the result.
5. Proxy: whether a proxy was detected, with confidence.

Use Show JSON to explore the entire event payload, and Copy link to share the event with your team.

​

Data retention

Retention differs by data source, because Automation Intelligence API events are stored separately from identification events.
