FAQ

FAQ

Answers to common questions about using the AI agent.

The AI agent ingests influencer data from Instagram, X, and TikTok and can be extended to additional platforms as needed. The workflow fetches profile data, follower counts, engagement metrics, and posting history to build a complete view of each influencer. Results are then normalized into a consistent schema for scoring. We provide clear visibility into where data comes from and how each score is derived, so brands can audit the process.

Authenticity is computed from multiple signals, including follower-to-following ratios, engagement quality, posting regularity, growth velocity, and profile completeness. Claude AI adds a behavioral analysis layer to detect subtle bot-like patterns and coordinated inauthentic activity. The score is presented as a 0-100 metric with a risk level label (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH). The scoring is designed to be auditable and explainable for partnerships teams.

Yes. You can configure threshold ranges for Low/Medium/High risk and adjust weighting for components like follower quality and engagement quality. The system also supports per-campaign or per-brand overrides. Changes apply to future checks and are logged for compliance. This ensures the scoring aligns with your internal risk appetite.

Data is stored in a structured database with access controls and encryption in transit and at rest. The workflow logs who accessed or modified reports and when. You can enable retention policies to meet internal and regulatory requirements. We also support data anonymization where appropriate to protect influencer privacy.

The AI agent exposes structured reports and events that can feed into common CRM or marketing platforms via API endpoints or webhooks. You can trigger email reports, create records in your CRM, or push insights into dashboards. The integration is designed to be non-disruptive and scalable. It enables centralized visibility without manual data exports.

Turnaround is designed to be fast: most checks complete within minutes, depending on platform API latency and data availability. The pipeline optimizes data retrieval and analysis to minimize waiting time for partnerships teams. If external data is delayed, the system surfaces partial results with a clear caveat and an expected completion time. This allows teams to proceed with early decisions while the full report finishes.

Reports are generated as structured summaries with a detailed analysis section and a final recommendation. They are emailed to designated recipients and saved in the optional database for long-term auditing. You can also export reports as JSON or PDF for stakeholder sharing. All delivery steps are logged for traceability.
