About

We make human in the loop products for people who value their agency.

A person stays in the loop on the acts that matter to them, to the degree they choose. Every product we make is a set of levers, not a default. We supply them. We never set the dial.

Agency online is not all or nothing.

The levers

Who sets what.

Who may pass, and how often.

The company. Their gate, their rules, wherever they place it.

Which acts stop.

The person. Spend, book, sign, send, post — they choose which ones wait.

Which agents can reach them.

The person. Cutting one leaves the rest standing.

Which accounts are theirs.

The person. One link per platform, theirs to cut.

How little we learn.

Not a setting. It is the only way we built it.

Where we work

The internet that already runs.

Every checkout, login, presale, forum, ticket page and support chat that exists today. We go under them. Nothing is rebuilt, nothing is migrated, and a company decides where on its own pages a person must be.

We are not neutral about our products. We push them, and we plug into anybody’s.

We are neutral about the degree. That one was never ours to set.

About FAQ

Who is behind BotShield?
A small team in Denver, Colorado, founded by Devrin Harris. BotShield, Inc. is a FIDO Alliance member; the credential every product stands on is a passkey, and we build on the roots Apple and Google attest.
What does BotShield make, exactly?
Human in the loop products. For a company: Verified Accounts, BotShield Gates, BotShield Actions and Trusted Agents, placed on the pages it already runs. For a person: a BotShield ID, free, and Agents Ask, where an agent waits for their yes. Every one of them is a set of levers, and the person or the company sets them.
Why does a neutral party need to exist?
Because the yes has to come from a party with no other business in the building. BotShield is paid per check, never sells to the person and never sells the person, and never sees the session, the cart or the list. That is what lets a company trust the answer and a person trust the question.
What does BotShield refuse to do?
Decide who passes — the company sets the policy; we report what happened. Hold the transaction, the list or the identity. Sell data, ever. Keep anyone signed in. Set the dial on how much of a person’s life stops for a yes — that one was never ours.
Is Couchtour part of BotShield?
Yes. Couchtour is a social marketplace for the arts, and it runs on the same console and key any company can take. We run it on our own gate on purpose: when a gate fails there, we pay for it, so the claims on this site are ones we test with our own money.

A product that chooses for them is not protecting their agency. It is spending it.
