The line between bots and humans is blurring. What is an agent that is acting at a human’s direction?

Agents are a new kind of visitor. They don't render CSS or click ads, but they have a paying human on the other end. Block them and you block your customer. We're building the open tools and protocols so publishers and agents can cooperate and not collide. https://t.co/0b64d6DToi 28.3K views · 229 likes · 23 reposts · 22 replies Open on X →

I have some news: After five years, Syndicate Labs is winding down. Unfortunately, our customer traction was not enough to make a viable business or sustain us as a contributor to Syndicate Network.
