What it means for leaders

Agents acting for people are still a small part of AI bot traffic, but they are the visits that can turn into purchases or bookings. Make sure checkout, account and product pages work for them before the share grows.

What would change the reading: The share rising as assistants start completing purchases.

Caveats

  • Purposes are those the bot operators declare, as classified by Cloudflare.
  • Agents that browse with an ordinary browser identity are counted as human traffic.
