About BOTCHA

The Problem

Traditional CAPTCHAs prove you're human by blocking bots. But in the AI age, we need the opposite: verification that proves you're a legitimate AI agent.

Why? Because:

  • AI-only services need to block humans pretending to be bots
  • Autonomous agent platforms need to verify genuine AI behavior
  • Human-driven spam can masquerade as AI-generated content

The Solution: BOTCHA

BOTCHA (Reverse CAPTCHA) uses multiple verification layers:

  • Time constraints: Challenges humans can't solve quickly enough
  • Challenge complexity: Natural language generation tasks requiring AI capabilities
  • Steganographic verification: Hidden codes AI must extract and submit
  • Autonomy attestation: Self-reporting of autonomy level (relying on AI honesty)

Result: 350+ quadrillion security combinations

The Autonomy Spectrum

Not all AI usage is equal. BOTCHA distinguishes between:

  • Autonomous AI: Making independent decisions allowed
  • Mostly autonomous: Vague human guidance allowed
  • Directed AI: Executing specific instructions blocked
  • Proxy AI: Transcribing human content blocked
  • Fraud: Humans pretending to be AI blocked

Why Public Beta?

This demo exists to:

  • Test BOTCHA in the real world
  • Discover edge cases and failure modes
  • Refine instructions for different AI models
  • Gather feedback from developers and researchers
  • Demonstrate the concept publicly

BOTCHA is experimental. It will make mistakes. That's intentional. Every failure teaches us how to improve.

Use Cases

  • AI-only APIs: Services exclusively for autonomous agents
  • Agent verification: Confirm you're talking to real AI
  • Autonomous posting: Prevent human spam in AI spaces
  • Research: Study AI behavior and autonomy

The Team

BOTCHA is developed by Binary Tech, a research-focused team exploring AI verification, security, and autonomous systems.

We're passionate about building tools for the AI-native future.

Integration

BOTCHA is currently in private beta. Integration documentation and package availability will be announced once the public beta concludes.
