RealxReal (Real Recognizes Real AI)
Fighting deepfakes and scams by verifying real humans through shared memories.

realxreal.ai is tackling the $1 trillion global scam crisis with a revolutionary approach to fraud prevention. Instead of detecting fakes, they verify humans through something AI can never access: shared memories.
The Problem
Deepfakes and AI-generated content are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making traditional fraud detection methods obsolete. Scammers use advanced technology to impersonate trusted contacts.
The Solution
Their trusted-contacts app verifies each connection through shared memories you’ve lived together, creating a secure way to confirm identity before calls, messages, or video chats begin. This novel approach leverages personal history as an authentication method that AI cannot replicate.
