DataDome protects sites from bots and fraud, and its Agent Trust features identify AI agents, score how far to trust them and let you allow, block, rate-limit or monetize them. Ghost Agent Lab answers the next question: once a trusted agent is through the door, can it actually find a product, reach checkout and finish, and what is that worth? Most teams that care about both use both.

The difference
Better together
DataDome's policies decide which agents reach your site. Ghost Agent Lab then shows whether those agents could use it: which journeys they finished, where they got stuck, and which fixes would help most. Our Ghost Agents sign their requests with Web Bot Auth, which DataDome's documentation says it verifies, so your team can decide how to treat them like any other signed agent. If a policy is turning away an assistant your customers use, our agent traffic and AgentScore show it, on which pages.
FAQ
No. Ghost Agent Lab doesn't block or allow anything itself. DataDome protects your site and decides which agents to trust; Ghost Agent Lab tests whether the agents you let in can complete your journeys, and shows what they're worth.
DataDome's dashboard shows which agents arrive and how much to trust them. Ghost Agent Lab adds what happens next: whether an AI agent could actually finish checkout or sign-up, an AgentScore with ranked fixes to your site, and revenue from AI referrals and orders agents placed.
That's your policy to set. Ghost Agents identify themselves and sign every request with Web Bot Auth, so DataDome can recognise them. We recommend allowing them on the journeys you want tested, as you would any monitoring tool.
