AI Agent Detection in Requests

Treblle’s AI Agent Detection feature automatically identifies when API requests originate from AI services like Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other large language models (LLMs).

This helps you understand how AI agents interact with your APIs, monitor AI-driven traffic patterns, and optimize your API for AI consumption.

What is AI Agent Detection?

AI Agent Detection analyzes incoming API requests to identify when they originate from AI services rather than traditional applications or human users.

Treblle recognizes various AI agents including:

  • Claude (Anthropic’s AI assistant)
  • ChatGPT (OpenAI’s conversational AI)
  • Perplexity (AI-powered search and answer engine)
  • Other AI services and LLMs

This detection happens automatically for every request, with no additional configuration required.

Viewing AI Agent Information

AI Agent Column in Requests Table

Once enabled, the AI Agent column displays which AI service made each request.

The AI Agent column shows:

  • Specific AI agent name (e.g., “Claude”, “ChatGPT”, “Perplexity”) when detected

  • Dash (-) when the request originates from a non-AI source

AI Agent in Request Details

  1. Select a Request

    Click on any request from the Requests list to open the detailed view.

  2. Navigate to Info Tab

    Click on the Info tab in the request details panel.

  3. View AI Agent Information

    In the User Data section, you’ll see the AI Agent field displaying the detected AI service.

The AI Agent field will show:

  • The specific AI agent name when detected (e.g., “Claude”)

By leveraging Treblle’s AI Agent Detection, you can gain valuable insights into how AI services interact with your APIs, optimize for AI consumption, and maintain control over AI-driven traffic patterns.
