More than half of
web traffic is automated.
Do you know who's visiting?
~57% of web traffic is now automated (Cloudflare, 2026)
AI agents, crawlers, and scrapers already outnumber your human visitors. Frenemy verifies who each one really is, classifies what it’s doing to your business, and — when you’re ready — acts on it. Friend, foe, or somewhere in between.

See everything. Act when sure.
Automate what you trust.
Three capabilities, three tiers. Each one is a deliberate step up in power and agency for your site — never a surprise.
Know every visitor
Every agent identified and verified against operator IP ranges and Web Bot Auth — not just what it claims to be. Impact scoring shows what each crawl costs or earns you.
Rehearse, then block
A dry-run preview shows exactly what a rule would do before it does anything — evidence-backed. Stage blocks and throttles for scrapers, welcome the agents that send you customers, and prepare for live enforcement — a fast-follow you switch on when you’re ready, with us.
Let Frenemy drive
Frenemy’s intelligence filters traffic as it happens — new scrapers handled by your standing rules, impostors stopped on arrival. Always within guardrails you set. One switch turns it all off.
friend Helps your business
Search crawlers that rank you. AI assistants fetching your pages — or shopping your products — for a human customer. Agents that cite and send traffic back.
