What NovaAct means for your site

This is a new and rapidly evolving category of web visitors.
What should you do?
- Monitor activity patterns to understand what the agent does on your site
- Review which pages the agent visits most frequently
- Control access via robots.txt if needed
- Keep an eye on form submissions or interactive behavior
How to identify NovaAct
