Roundtable: Proof of Human - invisible bot detection

Proof of Human - invisible bot detection

Roundtable Proof of Human is an API that invisibly detects bots and verifies human identity. Founded by 2 Princeton cognitive scientists, Roundtable leverages world-class research with enterprise-grade accuracy and latency so websites can verify their human users friction-free.

Active Founders

Mayank Agrawal

Founder

CEO of Roundtable. Builds Proof of Human, an invisible Turing Test for the Internet. Proof of Human provides industry-leading bot detection at the entry (~$99) level, defeating Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile on head-to-head comparisons. Before Roundtable, Mayank completed a PhD at Princeton University working at the intersection of cognitive science and artificial intelligence, publishing in high-impact venues including Science, PNAS, and Psychological Review.

Matt Hardy

Founder

Matt is a co-founder of Roundtable, a company using behavioral metrics for invisible fraud prevention. Before Roundtable, Matt was a PhD student at Princeton University, where he used machine learning and behavioral and experiments to study how people make decisions. Before his PhD, Matt majored in both statistics and economics at the University of Toronto, and worked in data science and econometrics.

Roundtable Proof of Human: A frictionless way to stop bots and AI spam

TL;DR

No more CAPTCHAs. We need a frictionless way to stop bots and AI spam.
Roundtable Proof of Human achieves best-in-class bot detection accuracy (87%) compared to Google (69%), Cloudflare (33%), and others.
The secret sauce is ‘behavioral biometrics’, i.e. leveraging behavioral and cognitive signatures to differentiate humans and bots / AI agents.

Problem

The Internet faces a friction tax today: the average CAPTCHA takes humans 35 seconds to complete, and modern authentication platforms frustrate users in verification loops. Meanwhile, fraud is exploding exponentially (account takeover losses growing 21% annually from $11B in 2022 to a projected $28.6B by 2027).

We believe the Internet will uncompromisingly select for a frictionless, authentication service. We call this Proof of Human.

Solution

A one-line API
That identifies behavioral bot patterns throughout user sessions
And continuously returns low-latency proof-of-human scores with natural language explanations.
