Anti-Counterfeiting Agent

Purpose

Evaluate the likelihood that a product is authentic by detecting visual inconsistencies, validating identifiers (e.g., serial numbers), and monitoring secondary-market signals, then producing an explainable risk assessment.

Primary users

• Brand protection / anti-counterfeit teams
• Resale operations teams and marketplace trust & safety
• After-sales, repair, and warranty operations
• Legal and investigations teams

• Triggered during intake of a product listing, buy-back/trade-in, repair/warranty claim, or investigation escalation
• Used both for pre-transaction screening (prevention) and post-transaction review (detection)

Key capabilities / workflow

• Analyze product images using computer vision to detect visual inconsistencies
• Cross-check serial numbers against internal and external databases
• Monitor resale and secondary-market data to identify suspicious patterns
• Generate explainable authenticity scores with risk flags and supporting evidence
• Route outputs to relevant teams to support legal, resale, repair, and after-sales decision-making

Inputs
