Fingerprint launches AI Assistant Detection to spot traffic from ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude
Device intelligence company FingerprintJS Inc. today launched a preview of two products built to identify traffic from artificial intelligence assistants, addressing a detection gap that has opened as more web requests arrive without a browser.
The first, AI Assistant Detection, gives businesses real-time visibility into traffic from major AI assistants, including OpenAI Group PBC’s ChatGPT, Google LLC’s Gemini and Anthropic PBC’s Claude. It runs on the second product, the Automation Intelligence API, which identifies automated traffic without requiring any client-side JavaScript.
The launch builds on Authorized AI Agent Detection, which Fingerprint released in February to identify autonomous AI agents that take actions on a user’s behalf. The new tools extend that coverage to assistants that browse and summarize content, giving security teams a single view across both categories.
Most web security and analytics tools were built on the assumption that traffic comes from humans opening browsers and JavaScript-based detection worked while that assumption held. AI assistants break it. They reach websites over HTTP to pull content, summarize documentation and conduct research without ever loading a page. Google’s Gemini Spark, announced at I/O 2026, for example, runs on dedicated cloud virtual machines that operate without a user opening a browser.
