Synthetic Media Detection

Is this real, or was it generated?

Verafai scans video, audio, and images for the fingerprints of AI generation — and tells you exactly what it found, in plain language, in under five seconds.

The Problem

Generative AI now produces near-perfect fakes.

Diffusion models, voice cloning, and face-swap tools are good enough to fool a human on casual viewing — and every detector trained on last year's generator quietly goes stale against this year's.

Who Gets Hurt

Banks running identity verification, insurers reviewing claims, dating platforms fighting catfishing, newsrooms verifying footage, and courts protecting evidence integrity — all lack a dependable "is this real?" check.

+
Why It's Getting Worse

New generator models ship every month, and each one degrades existing detector accuracy further. This is a moving target, not a solved problem — and most detectors are static models that decay the day they ship.

+
Why Existing Tools Fail

Most detectors handle only one modality — just video, or just audio — and return a bare score with no explanation of what triggered it. That's not enough for a compliance team that has to justify a decision.

+
The Cost Of Getting It Wrong

In KYC and legal contexts, a missed fake lets fraud through — and a false positive wrongly blocks a real customer. Both failure modes carry direct financial and reputational cost.

+
The Solution

Multi-modal detection that retrains as fast as the fakes evolve.

Verafai combines video, audio, and image classifiers with a continuous retraining pipeline that ingests new synthetic-media samples the moment new generators appear — so accuracy doesn't decay over time.

01

Ingest

Upload a file through the web app, or stream media directly via the API.

02

Analyze

Multi-modal models scan for generation artifacts — frequency-domain inconsistencies, lip-sync mismatch, unnatural blinking, voice-clone spectral signatures.

03

Score

Returns a confidence score from 0–100% likelihood of being synthetic, with flagged timestamps and regions.

04

Explain

A plain-language explanation of exactly what triggered the flag — e.g. "audio pitch inconsistency at 0:42–0:47."

05

Retrain

Confirmed fake and real samples continuously feed back into retraining, so the model keeps pace with new generators.

AI Technology

Purpose-built models for each modality, not a generic classifier.

Detection is fundamentally an arms race. Verafai is built from day one to retrain continuously against new generators, rather than shipping a static model that decays.

Video Artifact Classifier

CNN/transformer-based model detecting blending boundaries, unnatural motion, and lighting inconsistency frame-by-frame.

Frame-Level Detection

Audio Spectral Classifier

Detects voice-cloning artifacts in pitch, prosody, and frequency signatures that don't occur in natural speech.

Spectral Analysis

Image Frequency-Domain Model

Detects diffusion and GAN fingerprints invisible to the human eye, using frequency-domain analysis.

GAN Fingerprinting

Explainability Module

Generates human-readable rationale from model attention and activation maps — not just a raw score.

Attention Maps

Continuous Retraining Pipeline

An always-on MLOps loop that retrains and redeploys models as new generator families emerge — the core defensibility of the product.

Core Defensibility

Model Changelog

Every model version ships with a changelog showing exactly which generator families it can detect.

Can You Spot It?

One of these faces doesn't exist.

Drag the divider. Verafai's frequency-domain model catches the fingerprint your eyes can't — blending seams, texture mismatch, and inconsistent lighting on the synthetic side.

Technology & Infrastructure

Cloud and GPU infrastructure built for continuous retraining.

Video and audio inference are GPU-heavy, and the retraining loop never stops. This is a genuine, ongoing compute workload — not an LLM wrapper.

How We Use AWS

We use AWS to host our REST API (API Gateway + Lambda), run GPU-backed inference for video, audio, and image models (EC2 G5/P-series or SageMaker endpoints), store uploaded media and training datasets in S3, queue large video jobs with SQS, and deliver results via CloudFront. User accounts, analysis history, and API keys live in RDS or DynamoDB.

S3 SageMaker EC2 G5/P-series Lambda API Gateway SQS CloudFront RDS

How We Use NVIDIA

We plan to use NVIDIA technologies to accelerate model training and inference for our computer-vision and audio classifiers, optimize real-time throughput for video analysis, and scale GPU capacity as retraining frequency increases with new generator families.

Market Opportunity

Focused on the industries with the most to lose from a fake.

Target Users

Primary (MVP): Fintech and KYC teams verifying identity documents and selfie-video liveness checks.

Secondary: Insurance fraud investigators reviewing claim media.

Tertiary: Dating platforms, trust & safety teams, and independent newsrooms verifying footage.

Revenue Model & Growth

Subscription pricing by monthly analysis volume, with a free trial tier for evaluation and custom enterprise contracts for unlimited-volume, SLA-backed deployments. Beta goal: 20 paying pilot customers within 3 months of launch.

Why Now

The window to build a defensible detector is closing.

Generator models are released monthly, and every release degrades existing detectors a little more. The only durable answer is a detection system designed from day one to keep retraining — not a static model shipped once and left to decay. Every quarter this problem goes unsolved, more fraud, more misinformation, and more wrongly-trusted media makes it through.
