AI detection isn't a single model. It's a stack — cheap checks first, paid scans only when needed. Here's exactly how each layer works, and where each one falls short.
Every video that's been scored before lives in a shared database. When a video loads, we ask the library first. If it's been seen, the score appears instantly with no API call.
YouTube now requires creators to disclose AI-generated content with an official "Altered or synthetic" label. We read that directly from the page. If the platform already says it's AI, we trust them.
Titles and descriptions are scanned against a database of 200+ keywords across 25 languages — tool names (Sora, Veo, Midjourney, Runway, Kling), self-disclosures ("made with AI", "AI generated"), and aesthetic tells.
The community usually spots AI before the algorithm does. We scan visible comments for strong AI flags ("this is AI", "deepfake", "fake") across multiple languages. Two or more independent calls = high confidence signal.
When the first four layers don't fire, we capture five frames from the video and send them to our forensic AI-detection model. The per-frame scores are combined into a single result.
The extension is engineered to collect almost nothing. Here's what does and doesn't get stored.
So the shared library works. No URL parameters, no personal context — just the platform-assigned video ID and its score.
A random UUID generated locally on first install. Used only to prevent the same person from flagging the same video twice.
The extension only activates on supported video sites (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit). Other sites never see it.
For rate limiting we use a one-way salted SHA-256 hash. The original IP is never written to the database.
No login. No email collection. No account to create. The extension works the moment you install it.
Frames are sent for scoring and never persisted on our servers. Only the resulting score is kept.
Working on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit. Forensic AI detection, community library, free tier.
Public availability. Pro tier with unlimited scans for $2.99/month. Expanded keyword database, improved channel reputation scoring.
Direct OCR detection of Sora, Veo, Runway, and Midjourney watermarks in captured frames. Free, instant, no API needed.
iOS and Android apps that use share-to-scan. By then the community library will cover most viral videos instantly.
Browser parity once Chrome and mobile are stable. Safari requires a wrapped native macOS app per Apple's rules.
The extension installs in two clicks and starts working on your next scroll.
