+### Enable CAPTCHA protection
+
+Protect the assistant from automated abuse by enabling CAPTCHA verification. When enabled, users must pass a CAPTCHA challenge before sending messages to the assistant.
+
+Toggle CAPTCHA protection in the assistant settings on the [Assistant](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/assistant) page of your dashboard.
+
+When CAPTCHA is enabled:
+
+- Users are prompted with a CAPTCHA challenge before their first assistant interaction.
+- After passing the challenge, users receive a short-lived trust token so they are not challenged again on subsequent messages.
+- Automated or bot-driven requests that cannot complete the challenge are blocked.
+
 ## Customize assistant behavior
 
 Add a `.mintlify/Assistant.md` file at the root of your documentation project to give the assistant custom instructions that shape how it responds (`Assistant.md` is also an accepted filename). The assistant uses these instructions as system-level context for every response.
