Scammers increasingly impersonate brands, individuals, and institutions through spoofed calls, fraudulent emails, and deep‑fake media, leaving the public with no reliable way to confirm the authenticity of incoming communications. Knowable offers a free, account‑free verification app called AuthentiKate that lets anyone check the authenticity of a person or brand with a single tap. The verified party generates a short‑lived “Kate code” through a paid subscription, which the recipient enters into the consumer app.

Problem
Scammers increasingly impersonate brands, individuals, and institutions through spoofed calls, fraudulent emails, and deep‑fake media, leaving the public with no reliable way to confirm the authenticity of incoming communications.
Solution
Knowable offers a free, account‑free verification app called AuthentiKate that lets anyone check the authenticity of a person or brand with a single tap. The verified party generates a short‑lived “Kate code” through a paid subscription, which the recipient enters into the consumer app. If the code matches, a green checkmark is displayed, confirming the sender’s identity; otherwise, the result indicates a potential fraud. The service operates without ads, tracking, or data resale, providing an instant, public‑facing trust layer that works across calls, messages, emails, and videos.
Target Audience
Primary users are consumers who receive communications from brands, public figures, or businesses, as well as verified entities such as banks, founders, hospitals, and other organizations that need to prove their identity to the public.
