Counterfeiting is a $2 trillion global issue affecting every industry. It causes a humanitarian crisis, resulting in approximately 100 deaths per hour, yet remains largely invisible to public awareness.

Vrai AI provides instant, highly accurate (99.71%) counterfeit detection using just a smartphone camera. Our proprietary AI model, trained on a uniquely extensive dataset, differentiates genuine products from sophisticated fakes without requiring specialised hardware.

Our customers include governments, brands, and consumers who seek to mitigate health and reputational risks associated with counterfeit goods. Our technology requires no additional hardware or supply-chain changes, enabling rapid and seamless market entry.

We use a B2B SaaS model with tiered subscription plans and pay-per-use APIs. Strategic partnerships and public awareness campaigns support customer acquisition and market expansion.

Our system integrates effortlessly into existing processes, requiring no changes to hardware or supply chains, enabling cost-effective and swift adoption.

We have secured $7.1M in LOIs from top-tier brands and government agencies, underscoring significant market demand and immediate adoption potential. Real-world pilots have confirmed our technology's effectiveness without operational disruption.

Our goal is to eliminate global counterfeiting, significantly reduce related deaths, and achieve $50 million in revenue within five years, establishing Vrai AI as the world’s leading counterfeit detection solution.
