AI agent detection

Is it a human —
or an AI agent?

AI agents now browse the web, fill forms, create accounts and click buttons — at scale, around the clock, increasingly well. CAPTCHAs can't tell them apart anymore; modern models solve puzzles cheaply. useHUMA answers the question that matters in the agentic era: is there an actual human behind this session? — from behavior alone, in one API call, with zero PII.

How agents give themselves away
SignalHumanAI agent / bot
Zero-latency actionsHumans read, hesitate, hover. Load-to-action takes seconds.Agents act the instant the DOM is ready — often under 800ms.
Cursor trajectoryOrganic curves, overshoot, micro-corrections on the way to a button.No mouse at all, or surgical straight lines teleporting between elements.
Typing cadenceIrregular inter-key timing, typos, bursts and pauses.Perfectly uniform intervals — or the whole field set in one programmatic write.
Scroll rhythmVariable speed, momentum, re-reading sections.Metronomic increments or instant jumps to anchors.
Touch physicsTap duration 80–200ms, pressure variance, natural swipe arcs.Zero-millisecond taps with no pressure profile.
Session historyBehavior consistent with past sessions over time.First-seen fingerprints acting with suspicious confidence.
Agents can fake a user-agent string in one line of code. Faking eight seconds of believable human micro-behavior — hesitation, overshoot, rhythm — across an entire session is a different problem.
Where teams use this today

Signups & free trials

Stop agent-driven fake accounts before they hit your database, burn your email quota, or farm your free tier.

Forms & lead gen

Keep autonomous spam out of contact forms, waitlists and surveys — without making humans solve puzzles.

Logins & sessions

Detect credential stuffing and hijacked sessions with continuous post-login monitoring, not just a gate at the door.

Human-only data

Research panels, reviews and UGC platforms certify that responses come from people — not synthetic respondents.

Frequently asked
How do you detect AI agents on a website?
By behavior. Agents act with zero latency, move in straight lines (or not at all), type with uniform timing and scroll metronomically. useHUMA scores dozens of these signals in real time and returns a human-confidence score.
Can AI agents solve CAPTCHAs?
Increasingly yes — which is the point. Behavioral detection doesn't ask the visitor to solve anything. It observes how the session unfolds, which is far harder to fake convincingly end-to-end.
Does useHUMA block all automation?
No — you get a score and the decision stays yours: allow, flag, challenge or block. Welcome the automation you want; stop the abuse you don't.
Do real users see anything?
Nothing. Verification is invisible. Only genuinely borderline sessions can receive a lightweight step-up challenge.
