brandguard š”ļø
Brand impersonation & typosquat monitor for AI agents and brand owners.
Feed brandguard a brand or product name and it scans npm, PyPI and GitHub for packages and repos that typosquat or impersonate you ā each risk-scored ā plus a ready-to-review takedown / trademark-notice draft.
brandguard reports from public sources. It does not file claims on anyone's behalf and is not a law firm or your agent. The takedown notice is a draft for the rights-holder to review, complete and file themselves.

Why an agent can't do this alone (the moat)
An LLM coding/brand agent, on its own, doesn't know:
the typosquat surface of a name (omissions, doubling, homoglyphs
oā0 lā1, deceptive-js/-sdk/-officialaffixes);which listings across three registries actually exist right now;
how to separate the real brand / legit integrations (own npm scope, high adoption, third-party org scopes like
@types/*) from parked squats ā without crying wolf.
brandguard does the cross-registry lookups and the calibrated scoring so the
verdict is trustworthy: LIKELY_ABUSE is only raised with a signal beyond
the name match (a "this is the official X" claim, or a parked-squat download
pattern). Bare name matches are SUSPECT ā human review, never a false accusation.
