Gain control on AI traffic.

With #trstd, identify AI agents, assess their standing, control their access and make trust in your brand verifiable to People and AI.

Access to the trust infrastructure is free and remains free. Trust is earned, never bought. Paid plans add advanced services.

AI agents are flooding the web. Uncontrolled, they’re a business risk.

AI-agent traffic is growing fast. And with scale comes more traffic that is not acting in your interest: scraping data, probing systems or automating abuse.

The dilemma is simple: if your only options are block or allow, both come at a cost. Let everything through and you lose control. Block it all and you lose visibility. How should an AI agent recommend your Brand if it can no longer see what you offer?

Agent-mediated transactions are growing at thousands of percent year‑over‑year

Enforce AI traffic policies with #trstd <protocol>

Knowing which AI agent is knocking is only the beginning. #trstd adds verified evidence of how that agent has behaved in comparable situations, turning every request into a policy-driven decision: allow, limit, challenge or deny.

An agent may be fine to read public content, but not yet proven for a transaction. Its behavioural standing develops through verified interactions and is specific to what the agent wants to do and under which conditions.

From every agent request to a policy‑driven decision

Prove your brand's trust with evidence, not claims.

Logos, badges and ratings alone cannot provide that proof. They can be copied, manipulated or detached from the interactions behind them. Without verifiable proof, genuine brands get lost in the noise of fakes.

#trstd makes identity, website authenticity, reputation and interaction evidence verifiable and machine-readable – for People and AI. Every verified interaction adds evidence and strengthens the trust context over time.

Brands and AI prove trust signals  and verify each other.

Brands and AI verify each other through the #trstd <protocol>, a bidirectional relationship in both directions. Brands provide: verified identity, website authenticity, authentic experience signals, assurance & protection, risk signals, proof & provenance. AI agents provide: authentication, assurance, behavioural standing, evidence confidence, capability & context, freshness.

Base your policies on verified evidence. #trstd Intelligence.

Give your automated policies the intelligence to act on evidence, not assumptions. Every verified interaction turns into clear context for your brand. And with every step, you help strengthen the trust graph for everyone.

Purpose-specific evidence, without unnecessary raw personal data, prompts or private reasoning.

Your trust at a glance. Your #trstd Profile

Included from the start, your #trstd Profile brings your verified identity, reviews, reputation and other trust information together in one canonical public place.

Your Profile makes your reputation visible – but above all, verifiable. From proof of identity to reputation grounded in specific contexts and experiences, it shows what #trstd can back with evidence – understandable for People and machine-readable for AI. Trust must be verifiable.

Its public, connected structure supports SEO and GEO. Verified experiences link your Profile to the people behind your reputation, turning customer interactions into trust signals that remain useful beyond the original touchpoint – for People, search engines and AI.

Get your Profile. It is free.

Advanced services such as Review Invites and sentiment analysis are available as paid add-ons.

Let your website prove that it is genuine – and take the effect out of phishing.

Data phishing and brand impersonation have always existed. In the age of AI, “fakes as a service” has become industrial — out of control in volume and in quality. Visual trust is destroyed. That is a systemic problem for Brands: when everything can be doubted, trust loses, and so do all of us.

No IT expertise needed: the #trstd Login. One click is enough to check whether a site is genuine. Done.

All it takes is a free account. It creates a personal #trstd Secret — a combination of a first name, a date that matters to that person and a favourite colour.

When your website is asked to show the #trstd Secret and it holds up to the member’s check, the answer is clear: your website is verified. Protect your customers from fakes. Protect your Brand.

Questions about #trstd for Brands?

Core protocol access and basic trust signals are free. Premium services — assurance, control, risk reduction, analytics, protection and service levels — are paid. Access to the network itself is never monetised.
No. Blocking removes you from AI-driven discovery entirely. #trstd lets you recognise agents and decide per request based on verifiable trust: allow, allow with limits, challenge, deny or block.

#trstd combines verified identity and credentials with observed behaviour and independently confirmed outcomes. Standing is specific to a capability and context and is reported separately from evidence confidence. Your Brand keeps the final policy decision.
No. #trstd works with categories and value bands instead of raw personal data, and shares the standing and the proof — not the dossier.
Yes. Critical events such as identity spoofing, credential abuse or deliberate policy circumvention can trigger an immediate state change. They are not averaged away by a history of normal requests.
