A marketplace is trust between strangers, carried by photographs, documents and short messages. Every one of them is now cheap to fake. A seller can onboard behind a generated face, list goods that exist only as AI images, and a buyer can claim a refund with damage drawn onto an intact item. Raid AI checks the media at the points where a marketplace decides to trust it: onboarding, listing, dispute and payout.

How Raid AI answers it

Listing image forensics

Score listing photos as they are uploaded, or the whole catalogue in batch, and hold the ones that are AI generated or edited for review.

Seller onboarding checks

Check the selfie video and identity document a new seller submits for face swaps, injected video and generated portraits before the account can list anything.

Refund and dispute evidence

Check the damage photos attached to a refund or chargeback for generation and editing, with the changed region marked, before the dispute is decided.

Payout document forensics

Bank statements, invoices and certificates are checked for edited fields and generated pages before money is released.

Voice notes checked on WhatsApp

Buyers, sellers and support agents forward a suspicious voice note to the Raid AI WhatsApp number and get a verdict back in the same chat.

  • One API for images, documents, video and audio, called from your own upload, onboarding and dispute flows
  • A deferred batch tier for scanning a whole catalogue of listing images without holding up live traffic
  • A heatmap that marks where an image was changed, so a reviewer sees the edit and not just a score
  • Zero retention available, so buyer and seller media is analysed and discarded

What this looks like on a normal day

Composite situations drawn from the pattern of reported attacks, not accounts of named customers.

Illustrative scenario

The car that was never for sale

  1. A new seller lists a nearly new car well under market price

  2. The listing photos are scored as they upload

  3. Raid AI marks them AI generatedFlagged

  4. The listing is held before any buyer sends a deposit

Illustrative scenario

The refund for a broken screen

  1. A buyer opens a dispute with photos of a cracked screen

  2. The photos are checked before the refund rule runs

  3. Raid AI finds the crack was edited onFlagged

  4. The dispute goes to a reviewer, not an automatic refund

Built for environments where security is not negotiable

From air gapped networks to strict data residency rules.

Retention you control

You choose how long media is kept. With zero retention, media is analysed and discarded once the verdict is returned and nothing is written to Raid AI storage. Otherwise media is kept for a window you set, 30 days by default, and then deleted. None of it is used to train a model, and enterprise tenants can keep their records inside their own database or infrastructure instead. Media goes only to the detection engines your tenant is configured to use, and only to produce the verdict.

Runs in your infrastructure

For air gapped and sovereign environments, the full detection stack runs inside your own network with no external connectivity.

TLS 1.3 encryption

All communication with the cloud API is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Media is protected from the moment it leaves your network.

Scoped API keys

Every integration is gated by a scoped key with configurable rate limits and IP allowlisting. Keys can be rotated at any time.

SOC 2 principles

Built around the five SOC 2 trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

Regional deployment

Cloud customers choose the region where their requests are processed. Media never leaves a specified jurisdiction.

Defence in depth

Infrastructure, application and model layers are each protected independently. A compromise at one layer does not expose customer data.

Audit logging

Every API call is written to a tamper evident audit trail, so you can reconstruct exactly what was processed, when, and by which key.

Security and privacy in full

Frequently asked questions

Each image is scored as it is uploaded, through the Raid AI API, and returned with one of four verdicts: AI generated, AI edited, digitally edited or real, with a confidence score and a heatmap of the changed region. Listings whose photos come back as generated or edited can be held for review automatically.

Yes. A deferred batch tier takes large volumes of images and returns results as they finish, so a whole back catalogue can be scanned without competing with live traffic.

Yes. Damage photos attached to a dispute are checked for generation and editing before the dispute is decided, and the marked region shows a reviewer exactly what changed.

That is your choice. With zero retention the media is analysed and discarded once the verdict is returned. Otherwise it is kept for a window you set, and none of it is used to train a model.
