What Made It VS Diffee

What Made It's answer

What Made It? is built on an evidence-first, transparent philosophy. Unlike typical AI detectors that act as black boxes spitting out a single untrusted percentage, What Made It? evaluates three independent evidence channels separately: visual diffusion micro-patterns, container EXIF/XMP metadata, and cryptographic C2PA Content Credentials. Furthermore, it provides dedicated 100% private, client-side browser tools that execute directly on your device with zero file uploads.

What Made It's answer

1. Consensus Over Guesswork: We cross-examine signals across multiple independent model architectures to eliminate single-detector false positives.
2. Uncompromising Privacy: Files are processed through ephemeral encrypted pipelines and immediately discarded — never retained, sold, or used to train AI models.
3. Hardware-Level Provenance: We inspect C2PA manifests to verify authentic hardware camera signatures (Leica, Sony, Nikon) versus AI generator assertions (DALL·E, Midjourney, Firefly).
4. Multimodal & Document Integrity: Beyond images, we inspect PDF contracts for internal revision tampering and video clips for frame-by-frame deepfake flickering.

What Made It's answer

Our primary audience includes: - Journalists, fact-checkers, and OSINT researchers verifying viral media and synthetic deepfakes. - Legal, HR, and compliance professionals auditing contracts, invoices, and resumes for digital alterations. - Photographers, digital artists, and publishers proving authentic camera capture and protecting copyright provenance. - Privacy-conscious professionals who require rigorous digital authenticity checks without uploading sensitive files to external servers.

What Made It's answer

As generative AI exploded, content verification became an opaque guessing game dominated by proprietary black-box detectors that frequently contradicted one another with no explanation. We founded What Made It? on a foundational principle: a conclusion is useful only when you can inspect how it was reached. We set out to build an open, verifiable evidence platform that separates visual signals from file metadata and cryptographic provenance, delivering clarity rather than false certainty.
