# Kavra Lab, in plain facts

Source: https://kavralab.com/ai-info/

**Kavra** by Kavra Lab is a bot and fraud detection platform for websites and apps. One script and one API call give every request an explained risk assessment: a person, a bot, an AI agent or a tool pretending to be a browser, what gave it away, and a recommended action. Customers decide what happens next.

## Kavra at a glance

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is it? | A bot and fraud detection platform for websites, web apps and mobile apps (native iOS and Android SDKs), with a server-side request API. See [Platform](https://kavralab.com/platform/). |
| Who makes it? | Kavra Lab, a brand of SIA ADVERTIMO, registration number 42103094905, Riga, Latvia (EU). See [About](https://kavralab.com/about/). |
| What does it answer? | Who is really behind each request: a real person, a verified bot or AI agent, an automation tool, or something impersonating a browser, and why. |
| How does it decide? | It analyzes 3,000+ data points per visit across network, device and environment, browser integrity, behavior, and identity and history; an AI/ML risk engine weighs them together and looks for contradictions between layers. |
| What do visitors see? | Nothing. Every check runs in the background; Kavra never shows a CAPTCHA, puzzle, slider or checkbox. Any extra step, such as a one-time code, is the customer's own choice. |
| What does the customer receive? | A plain-language headline, the findings behind it, risk levels by domain, network context and a recommendation: allow, verify or block. |
| Who decides the outcome? | The customer's backend. Kavra never blocks users on its own. An observe-only mode shows results before anything is enforced. |
| How is it integrated? | One script on the page (under 64 KB, asynchronous) and one server-side call; no DNS change or traffic routing. See [Integrations](https://kavralab.com/integrations/). |
| What data does it need? | No names, emails or phone numbers. It processes technical and network signals, which can be personal data under GDPR, with the legal basis applied per visitor region. See [Security](https://kavralab.com/security/) and the [privacy policy](https://kavralab.com/privacy/). |
| How is it sold? | Through the sales team: contact via the [contact form](https://kavralab.com/contact/). There is no self-serve plan or public free trial. |

## What Kavra detects

Kavra is built for the tools modern fraud runs on, not only classic bots.

- [Antidetect browsers](https://kavralab.com/detect/antidetect-browsers/) that fake a new device for every profile.
- [Residential and mobile proxies](https://kavralab.com/detect/residential-proxies/), [VPNs and Tor](https://kavralab.com/detect/vpn-and-tor/) and datacenter traffic. Kavra measures real exit IPs of commercial proxy networks itself, on top of 30+ public reputation feeds.
- [Headless browsers and automation frameworks](https://kavralab.com/detect/headless-browsers/), including stealth plugins.
- [Virtual machines](https://kavralab.com/detect/virtual-machines/), [emulators](https://kavralab.com/detect/emulators/) and [device farms](https://kavralab.com/detect/device-farms/).
- [Fingerprint spoofing and rotation](https://kavralab.com/detect/fingerprint-spoofing/): a device that changes its fingerprint stays one actor, and the rotation is itself a signal.
- [AI agents](https://kavralab.com/detect/ai-agents/): verified agents are recognized by cryptographic signatures and operators' published IP ranges; declared agents that fail verification are flagged.
