LegalZoom Registers AI Agent Through GoDaddy’s ANS Platform LegalZoom.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:LZ) has officially registered its first AI agent using GoDaddy’s (NYSE:GDDY) Agent Name Service (ANS) platform, according to a press release issued on February 4, 2026. The registration marks the first public implementation of the ANS open standard, which assigns AI agents unique names and cryptographically verifiable identities through domain name system (DNS) and public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates. This development positions LegalZoom as a pioneer in integrating AI into legal services while ensuring transparency and accountability. The ANS standard enables AI agents to be published as DNS records, allowing other systems to verify their origin and publisher through DNS queries. GoDaddy’s ANS platform provides cryptographic proof that an AI agent is bound to a verified domain, ensuring trust in its operations. LegalZoom’s AI agent, a Model Context Protocol server, integrates the company’s legal services into AI assistants like Anthropic’s Claude. This allows users to connect with attorneys, scan legal documents, and manage consultations through AI-driven tools. GoDaddy’s ANS platform is designed to address the growing need for verifiable identities in AI agents, which increasingly operate independently across platforms. The partnership between LegalZoom and GoDaddy highlights the potential of open identity standards to enhance trust in AI-driven services. “AI agents will transform how legal services are delivered, but their value depends on verifiable identity and human accountability,” said Aaron Stibel, LegalZoom’s chief customer and business officer.#legalzoom_com_inc #goddaddy #agent_name_service #anthropic_claude #salesforce_mulesoft_agent_fabric
GoDaddy and LegalZoom Partner to Support Open Agentic Web Accessibility LegalZoom.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: LZ), America's #1 online legal services company, and GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY), global leader in domains and tech for small businesses, have entered into a partnership to protect the rapidly expanding agentic open web for small and medium-sized businesses. The collaboration centers on the Agent Name Service (ANS), an open standard designed to address challenges in verifying the identity and trustworthiness of AI agents operating across platforms. AI agents, which now act as more than simple fact-finding tools, communicate with one another and complete tasks independently. However, their growing autonomy has raised concerns about accountability. Enterprises deploying AI agents across platforms face a critical issue: users lack a consistent way to verify an agent’s origin, publisher, or trustworthiness. ANS aims to resolve this by leveraging the same infrastructure that powers the internet—domain name system (DNS) and public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates. Each registered AI agent is assigned a unique, human-readable name and a cryptographically verifiable identity, enabling discovery, verification, and governance across the open web. GoDaddy has taken the lead in implementing ANS through its GoDaddy ANS platform, the first public implementation of the standard. This allows anyone to publish and verify agents in minutes. LegalZoom has joined this initiative by registering its first AI agent, which operates as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This agent integrates LegalZoom’s legal services into AI assistants like Anthropic’s Claude, enabling users to connect with real attorneys, scan and share legal documents, and manage consultations.#model_context_protocol #ai_agents #legalzoom_com_inc #goddaddy #agent_name_service
