How to detect Novellum AI Crawl
Novellum AI Crawl signs its requests, so you detect it by verifying the cryptographic signature on each request. A valid signature proves the request came from Novellum; a copied user agent without the signature does not.

Novellum AI Crawl is an AI crawler run by Novellum that signs its requests.
Does Novellum AI Crawl identify itself?
Yes. Novellum AI Crawl signs its requests cryptographically, which is the strongest way an agent can identify itself.

What does the Verisoul API return for Novellum AI Crawl?
Every session Verisoul identifies as Novellum AI Crawl carries an agent block with id "novellum_ai_crawl", name, provider, type "ai_crawler", detection_method "signed" and the detection_signals used (cryptographic, behavioral). Build rules on the id, type and detection method.
