JM reposted a LI post in German with some advice:

"Pro tip: check your ecommerce site to see if it works for shoppers using the common agents. (Or, if you'd prefer they go elsewhere because you have too much business, maybe don't.)

Bot-detection sometimes triggers on users with agents, and it can be annoying for them to get through. (Insert philosophical discussion on whether agents are more like bots or more like users, and whether it makes more sense to differentiate by actions rather than user-agent.)"

The original post shared an experiment that tested Swiss ecommerce sites for AI agent accessibility. You can translate it with ChatGPT or right in LI, but the gist is these reasons prevented an AI agent from shopping;

• CAPTCHA (in this case a slide puzzle)
• Cloudflare Turnstile
• Maintenance page
• Technical errors
• Intentional bot blocking
