Cloudflare launches Precursor to detect agentic bots across full sessions

Cloudflare launched Precursor, a client-side session-based verification system that continuously collects behavioral signals such as pointer movement, keyboard rhythm and focus changes to distinguish humans from automated or agentic traffic. Precursor complements Turnstile in Enterprise Bot Management, injects a lightweight script at the edge with no app changes, and is free until general availability later this year.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that companies using frontier AI risk “paying for intelligence twice”—once in tokens and again by revealing proprietary workflows, corrections and institutional knowledge to model providers. He argued firms should own their learning loops, retain rights to usage data and outputs, and avoid one-way distillation restrictions that concentrate value with infrastructure owners.
