+### Bot protection
+
+In the Bot Protection section, enable invisible captcha to protect your assistant from automated abuse. The captcha uses [hCaptcha](https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy), which is privacy-friendly and invisible to nearly all visitors.
+
+To enable bot protection:
+
+1. Go to the [Assistant settings](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/assistant/settings) page in your dashboard.
+2. In the **Bot Protection** section, toggle **Invisible Captcha** on.
+
+Changes take up to 10 minutes to propagate.
+
+<Note>
+  If you use custom [Content Security Policy headers](/deploy/csp-configuration), make sure `hcaptcha.com` and `*.hcaptcha.com` are included in your allowlist.

 ## 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.
