02 · EVIDENCE WALL

It's already happening.

These aren't hypotheticals. Each of these cases involved real people, real money and a piece of synthetic media that nobody in the room caught in time. Deepfake video, cloned voice, forged documents, fake broadcasts — the big names make the news, but the same tricks hit ordinary people and businesses every day, without the headlines.

Deepfaked video call with fake CFO and colleagues
DEEPFAKE VIDEO CALL
Arup · −$25.6M

An employee joined a video call where the CFO and several colleagues asked for urgent transfers. Every single participant on that call was a deepfake. The money was gone before anyone suspected a thing.

CLONED VOICE

Scammers cloned the CEO's voice — accent and all. One sharp-eared executive asked a personal question and the line went dead.

FORGED DOCUMENT
Invoice & payslip fraud

A "we've changed bank details" email with a pixel-perfect AI-generated invoice — now one of the most common scams out there. Forged payslips and bank statements slip through onboarding the same way.

03 · WHO IT'S FOR

Built for anyone who can't afford to be fooled.

Easy to install, no IT expert required — whoever opens the file can run the check. If you're the one who has to trust a document, an ID, a voice or a video before acting on it, this is for you.

Invoices & supplier payments

A "we changed bank accounts" email with a doctored invoice is one of the most common scams out there. Run it through Desmodia before the money moves.

Payslips & bank statements

Generated payslips and statements are the new fake reference. Verify income documents before signing — with a report that keeps the decision defensible.

Diplomas & credentials

Fake diplomas, transcripts and professional certificates flow into admissions and hiring alike — often impossible to verify at source. Credential fraud is a ~US$21B industry, and AI diploma forgery jumped 244% in a single year.

Dating apps

Catfishing runs on stolen photos and AI-generated profiles that look real enough to pass a glance. Run a screenshot, photo or video call through Desmodia before you meet up, send money, or fall for someone who doesn't exist.

IDs at the counter

AI-forged IDs are flooding onboarding at lenders, landlords, dealerships and bottle shops — and 90% of document fraud is invisible to human reviewers.

Insurance & warranty claims

AI-edited photos and doctored receipts turn a small claim into an easy payout — a dented bumper, a "broken" screen, a receipt that never existed. Check the evidence before you approve.

HR & hiring

60% of hiring managers have already caught candidates lying about qualifications, and Gartner expects 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide to be fake by 2028.

Digital evidence

A photo, recording or video submitted as proof — in a dispute, an insurance claim, a legal filing — is only as good as its authenticity. Verify it before you rely on it.

04 · THE DIFFERENCE

We catch what
the eye can't.

A person checking by eye barely beats a coin flip against today's fakes. So we ran the same test through Desmodia — the gap between the two bars is exactly what we were built to close.

Take the same test.

WHY DESMODIA

Made for the ones everyone else overlooks.

Fraud detection has always been built for banks and big platforms — expensive, complex, and cloud-first. Desmodia is built the other way round: for whoever the fraud actually lands on.

06 · THE REGULATION

The missing piece.

We build from Australia — one of the strictest jurisdictions in the world for AI and data protection. The Scams Prevention Framework, the Online Safety Act, the federal deepfake abuse law and the privacy reform set a bar few countries match — and it moves in step with the world: the EU AI Act, GDPR, the UK Online Safety Act and the fast-growing body of US deepfake law.

Every one of these laws shares one assumption: that people can actually tell real from fake. Laws describe what must be caught — they don't catch it. Desmodia is that detection layer for whoever those laws leave holding the loss.

"Governments make the rules. We make the tools."
07 · THE TEAM

Three people who couldn't unsee it.

No agency, no big lab — just three co-founders who kept seeing the same fraud hit ordinary people and decided the tools to catch it shouldn't only exist for the ones who can afford enterprise software.

08 · FAQ

Fair questions.

When will Desmodia launch?

Early access opens in waves later this year. Everyone on the waitlist gets the first invitations, in order — joining now literally moves you up the queue. It's free during early access and no credit card is ever requested.

What formats will it analyse?

Images and scanned documents first (JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF scans) — IDs, payslips, invoices, statements. Video and audio analysis follow shortly after launch.

What happens to my files?

They never leave your device — the analysis runs locally, so there's nothing on our servers to store, leak or delete. And nothing is ever used to train models, ours or anyone else's.

How much will it cost?

Plans will be priced simply — pay for the checks you run, no enterprise contracts. Volume analysis and API access come at launch. Everyone on the waitlist uses the full product free during early access.

Can it be wrong?

Yes — any detector can be, and we're upfront about it. That's why every verdict carries a confidence level, why ambiguous results say "needs review" instead of guessing, and why the report shows the evidence — so the decision stays yours, on the record.

Where does it work?

Right on your device — the analysis runs locally, even offline, so your files stay with you. Desmodia is built in Australia under some of the strictest AI and data-protection rules in the world, rules that move in step with the EU, UK and US. Wherever you check from, the same standard applies.
