GoDaddy and LegalZoom have announced a partnership to support the emerging “agentic” open web by introducing a new standard for verifying AI agents.
The collaboration centers on the Agent Name Service (ANS), an open standard that assigns AI agents unique, verifiable identities using domain infrastructure and cryptographic authentication. GoDaddy has launched the first public implementation, enabling developers and businesses to publish and verify AI agents globally.
As part of the initiative, LegalZoom registered its first AI agent through GoDaddy ANS, allowing integration of its legal services into AI assistants while ensuring authenticity and trust. The move aims to address growing concerns around verification, accountability, and security as autonomous AI agents become more widespread.
The companies said the partnership is designed to enhance trust in AI-driven services and establish a standardized framework for identity verification across the open web.
