# Alethea AI — Complete Platform Reference

> Alethea AI is a B2B SaaS platform that verifies photo authenticity and extracts custom business intelligence from images using AI. Domain: getalethea.ai. Contact: sales@getalethea.ai.

## What Alethea AI Does

Alethea is a B2B SaaS platform for AI-powered visual verification. It enables organizations to:

1. Create verification requests using customizable templates (photos, GPS, text responses, multiple choice)
2. Send unique verification links to end users who download the Alethea app and capture photos in real-time, in the exact sequence defined by the template — no gallery uploads allowed
3. Run AI verification that performs two layers of analysis: (a) confirming the photo genuinely depicts what was requested, and (b) extracting business-specific intelligence through customizable AI prompts
4. Generate downloadable PDF audit reports with full evidence trails

GPS geofencing confirms every photo was taken at the expected physical location within a configurable radius.

## The Two Pillars of Every Verification

Every image captured through Alethea goes through two layers of AI intelligence:

**Pillar 1: Image Authenticity Verification**
The AI confirms the submitted photo genuinely depicts what was requested. For example:
- "Is this actually a photo of a bakery kitchen?" (lending use case)
- "Is this the front-left angle of a vehicle?" (car rental use case)
- "Is this the actual delivery at this address?" (logistics use case)
- "Is this the claimed inspection site?" (site inspection use case)

**Pillar 2: Custom Intelligence Extraction**
Beyond authenticity, the AI extracts business-specific insights tailored via custom prompts:
- Bakery verification: Kitchen cleanliness, equipment condition, wall state, hygiene indicators
- Vehicle inspection: Scratches, dents, paint damage, tire condition, interior wear
- Delivery verification: Package condition, delivery environment, damage indicators
- Site inspection: Structural condition, safety compliance, maintenance state

This dual capability means organizations don't just get a "real or fake" answer — they get rich, prompt-driven analysis customized to their exact business needs.

## Three Layers of Trust

1. **App-Controlled Capture** — Photos must be taken fresh through the Alethea app in the exact sequence the template defines. No gallery uploads, no pre-taken photos.
2. **AI Verification** — Two pillars: authenticity confirmation + custom intelligence extraction on every image.
3. **GPS Geofencing** — Location data captured at the moment of photo capture, validated against expected coordinates and radius.

## Industry Use Cases

### Small Business Lending
**For:** Lending companies, fintech, microfinance
**Problem:** Lenders need to verify a borrower's business exists and is in acceptable condition before approving a loan. Manual inspections are expensive and don't scale.
**Solution:** Custom templates verify bakeries, car washes, laundromats, etc. AI confirms the photo is genuine and extracts condition assessments (kitchen hygiene, equipment state, facility maintenance).

### Vehicle Rental & Fleet Management
**For:** Car rental platforms, fleet management companies, ride-sharing services
**Problem:** Damage disputes between renters and companies. No objective before/after documentation.
**Solution:** Multi-angle vehicle inspection templates. AI confirms each photo is the correct angle and detects scratches, dents, paint damage, tire condition, interior wear.

### Logistics & Delivery
**For:** Delivery platforms, logistics companies, e-commerce, supply chain operators
**Problem:** "I never received it" disputes, package damage claims without evidence, no proof of delivery location.
**Solution:** Delivery verification templates with GPS-confirmed location. AI verifies the package photo and extracts condition details.

### Site Inspections & Audits
**For:** Inspection firms, property managers, franchise HQs, compliance teams, construction supervisors
**Problem:** Clipboards and manual photos lack standardization. No way to verify an inspector actually went to the site. Reports are subjective.
**Solution:** Standardized inspection templates for property, construction, safety, and franchise compliance. GPS proves the inspector was on-site. AI generates structured audit reports.

### Insurance & Claims
**For:** Insurance companies, claims adjusters
**Solution:** Verified damage photos with AI-powered manipulation detection and severity assessment.

### Construction & Real Estate
**For:** Construction companies, property managers, real estate lenders
**Solution:** GPS-verified site progress documentation with AI condition analysis.

## Key Platform Features

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| AI Image Verification | 99.7% accuracy, under 10 seconds per image, customizable AI prompts per template item |
| GPS Geofencing | Configurable radius-based location validation at the moment of capture |
| Custom Templates | Reusable verification workflows with image, text, single/multiple choice items |
| App-Controlled Capture | Real-time capture through the Alethea app in template-defined sequence |
| PDF Audit Reports | Auto-generated reports with all submissions, AI results, and metadata |
| REST API | Bearer token auth, API key management, IP whitelisting, usage logging |

## How It Works (Step by Step)

1. Organization creates a custom verification template with a global AI prompt and per-item prompts
2. Verification request is sent to the end user via email (unique 12-character alphanumeric link)
3. User downloads the Alethea app and opens the verification link
4. User captures photos in real-time through the app, in the exact sequence the template defines
5. GPS coordinates are automatically captured with each photo
6. AI engine analyzes each image: confirms authenticity + extracts custom intelligence
7. Results are stored and compiled into a downloadable PDF audit report
8. Organization reviews results in the admin dashboard

## API Endpoints
