Real or not? Check files before your AI trusts them.
fileForensics is a trust check for every file your app or agent acts on. Extraction tells you what a document says; fileForensics tells you whether to believe it. It looks for signs of editing, AI-generated content, tampering and details that don’t add up, then returns findings with the evidence: what, where and why. No black-box score. All delivered in one call and works via API, MCP (Claude, Cursor, Codex), the developer portal and the fileAI platform. Check the file before you trust the data.
I've followed fileAI since I first hunted them last year, and this launch tackles a problem I think every team building with agents is about to run into.
Your extraction can be perfect and still be wrong, because the file you extracted from was edited.
What I like most is that it doesn't ask you to trust a score.
Every finding comes with the evidence behind it, so a developer or a reviewer can look at it and decide for themselves.
The first thing I'd test is a stack of my own receipts and invoices, with one quietly edited, just to see if it gets caught. If you try that, please share what happened in the comments, especially if it flags a file you know is genuine. The team says false positives are the feedback they care about most.
