Over the last days I did a lot of research and testing on how to detect AI agents on your website. Long story short: It's not so easy.

Developer Quentin Wendegass tested detection of AI agents on a website by sending 23 of them to the site and found that most presented as human traffic, concluding that reliable agent detection is difficult. The hands-on testing effort highlights the limits of current bot-identification approaches for site operators.
