What a VerifAI check can and can't see

A check in four steps

1. 1Choose the category: clothing, bags and accessories, jewelry, art, antiques, electronics, perfume and cosmetics, books, toys or stamps. Each has its own check, written for the details that matter for that kind of item
2. 2Upload clear photos: the front and back, the logo or engraving, stitching and hardware, inside labels and codes, and the packaging or receipt if you have them
3. 3VerifAI looks at the details, searching for signs that the item is genuine or counterfeit
4. 4Read your report: a verdict, a confidence level, the details the verdict is based on and, where there is enough market data, a price estimate

What it looks at

• Logos: shape, spacing, placement and finish
• Stitching and construction: consistency, alignment and quality
• Materials: texture, grain and surface finish visible in the photos
• Labels and codes: the text on tags, serial numbers and documents
• Price: what similar items usually sell for, with a warning when an asking price looks too low

What it cannot do

VerifAI reads only the photos and documents you upload. It cannot handle, weigh, smell or test the item, or see anything the photos do not show. No human expert reviews a result, and VerifAI does not publish an accuracy figure.

Which check to use

• Quick check: a verdict and the key findings, from up to 4 photos
• Deep VerifAI: a longer, category-specific analysis of up to 8 photos, a market value estimate and a certificate you can share
• Compare: two or three items side by side, useful when choosing between listings or checking an item against one you know is genuine
• Check a listing: a check of a marketplace listing itself, before you buy

Getting the best result

Clear, well-lit photos of logos, labels, stitching and codes make the biggest difference. If a result says it needs more, add the photos it asks for and check again.
