Telltale Bot tells you whether website visits come from a person, an AI agent acting for a person, or a bot. It names the agents it recognizes, like ChatGPT agent, Claude, Grok, and Meta Muse. Add one JavaScript tag, and the verdict is recorded and returned to the page. It flags visits instead of dropping them, so you can make your own decisions on how to filter or segment. Comes with a 14-day free trial, no card. Plans start at $20 a month.

Hi all! Today we're launching Telltale Bot, a bot and agent detection system made by my analytics agency, Quantable.
At Quantable we've been dealing with bots in analytics for over a decade, but in the last year the level of bots has ratcheted up to new heights. You may remember Cloudflare's CEO talking earlier this year about how bots had passed human traffic for the first time. That was in June, and just a few short months later in November we've shot well past that 50% all the way to 65% (the share of HTML page requests from bots, according to Cloudflare Radar).
Bots are now firmly the majority of traffic for most sites, but analytics tools tend to do a poor job of filtering that traffic out. This leads to the worst of both worlds: 1) we're excluding key information about useful bots, and 2) having bot activity still distort human-behavior reports. We want to provide intelligence on that traffic, not just filter it out.
Telltale Bot is one tag that labels every visit:
🧑 Human
🤖 Bot
🦾 Agent
It even names bots and agents, so if you're wondering how much of your site's traffic is from agents like Meta Muse, Instinct, Grok Bot, etc. — we can tell you. Some agents declare themselves when browsing (Claude, sometimes ChatGPT, sometimes Gemini), but some don't. We identify and name them.
