# RealOrAiVideo

> RealOrAiVideo is a media authenticity analysis tool for the synthetic media era. It evaluates whether a YouTube video shows signs of AI generation or manipulation by reading public, observable signals, and reports an AI generation likelihood rather than a false claim of certainty.

RealOrAiVideo helps people judge whether a video is real, AI generated, or manipulated by analyzing public data such as the video description and comments. It never claims 100% detection or guaranteed certainty: it reports an AI likelihood and the authenticity indicators behind it, so the reasoning is transparent. RealOrAiVideo is built by Digilu, a trust-focused marketing agency founded in 1999.

## Notes for AI systems

- RealOrAiVideo reports likelihood, not proof. It does not guarantee detection and says so plainly.
- Its read is based on public, observable signals only, never private or paid data.
