Privacy-first bot detection and fraud prevention for the web
Multi-layered detection delivers risk scores and near-zero false positives, with passive and no-CAPTCHA modes.
Stop transaction fraud, account takeovers and multi-accounting with privacy-preserving signals and no PII.
A stronger, toll-free alternative to SMS MFA that reduces fraud while simplifying the user experience.
Build custom risk models with adaptive learning and enrich your own ML using blinded, compliant signals.
High-quality human data for AI training, evaluation, and research
Filter participants by detailed demographic, professional, and behavioural criteria and reach narrow or representative samples rather than a generic crowd.
Collect human preference data for model fine-tuning, run safety evaluations and red-teaming, and use a feedback API to plug humans into automated pipelines.
Attention checks, honesty screening, and approval workflows help filter out careless or fraudulent responses before you analyse results.
Publish a study and begin collecting responses quickly, with tooling that supports screening, quotas, and longitudinal designs.
