Agent Traffic Detector

A tiny library to detect AI agent traffic and let site owners hide ads, change prices or log agents.

Problem
As AI agents browse the web more often, site owners have no idea how much agent traffic they get and cannot differentiate it. One weekend project detecting Grok Bot, Instinct, Muse and others shows the need is real but tools are scarce.
Solution
A minimal JS/Python library that fingerprints common AI agents and crawlers, letting developers hide ads, adjust pricing, log or block based on visitor type with negligible performance cost.
Users
Indie site owners, SaaS developers, e-commerce operators and content sites sensitive to agent traffic.
MVP
Maintain a signature library of common AI agents; provide tiny TypeScript and Python APIs; keep bundle under 10KB with zero dependencies; expose hooks triggered by agent type; include a basic stats dashboard.
Revenue
Open-source core library plus a paid cloud signature update and analytics panel; usage-based API pricing.
Why now
AI agent traffic is growing fast, but site owners lack lightweight detection. Entering now catches the demand early.
