We’re building a multimodal AI platform to help detectives analyze ...
...large volumes of digital evidence more efficiently. Investigators can upload CCTV footage, and the system automatically tracks persons of interest and generates a timeline of key movements and events. The goal is to reduce time spent scrubbing through footage and surface critical leads faster, without compromising investigative integrity.
People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.
Should You Build It?
Build but think about differentiation and monetization.
Your are here
You're entering a space where AI is being applied to investigative work, specifically around video analysis. The fact that we found 6 similar products indicates a recognized need and developing market. High engagement (average of 16 comments per product) signals significant interest in this area. However, your idea falls into the 'Freemium' category, which suggests users are interested in the utility but hesitant to pay. This means you need to clearly identify the value proposition that will incentivize them to transition to a paid model. Be wary of accuracy concerns (as raised by some users) because mistakes can have major ramifications in the justice system. You need to think through what can make your product DIFFERENT and worth paying for in a market with free alternatives.
Recommendations
- Start by identifying the detectives and investigators who would benefit the most from the free version of your platform. Focus on specific types of cases or evidence that are particularly time-consuming to analyze manually. This will help you understand their needs and pain points in detail.
- Develop premium features that directly address the pain points you identified. This might include advanced analytics, deeper levels of tracking, secure storage and chain-of-custody features, or integration with existing law enforcement databases. Make sure these features are demonstrably more efficient than manual methods.
- Consider structuring your pricing around team or departmental licenses rather than individual users. Law enforcement agencies often have budgets allocated for technology, and a team-based approach can provide more predictable revenue.
- Offer personalized training, onboarding, or consulting services to help agencies implement your platform effectively. This could be a separate revenue stream or bundled with higher-tier subscriptions. Focus on demonstrating the value and accuracy of the AI, ensuring it complements, not replaces, human judgment.
- Launch a pilot program with a small group of agencies to test different pricing models and gather feedback on feature usage. This will allow you to refine your offering and identify the most compelling value proposition. Address the concerns raised in similar products, such as ensuring fairness across diverse demographics and clearly outlining the limitations of the AI.
- Given the concerns around accuracy in similar products like LiarLiar.ai and TruthOrLie.ai, heavily invest in rigorous testing and validation of your AI algorithms. Clearly communicate the metrics and indicators your platform uses to analyze evidence, ensuring transparency and building trust with users.
- Develop a robust system for addressing potential biases in your AI models, as this is critical for maintaining investigative integrity and avoiding wrongful accusations. Explain how your system protects privacy and prevents misuse, thereby building faith in your product.
- Prepare a detailed go-to-market plan that includes attending law enforcement conferences, publishing case studies highlighting successful implementations, and partnering with established vendors in the public safety sector to increase awareness of your AI-powered evidence analysis platform.
Questions
- How will you ensure that your AI-driven insights complement rather than undermine human judgment in investigations, especially when dealing with complex or ambiguous evidence?
- Given the sensitive nature of law enforcement data, what specific security measures and compliance protocols will you implement to protect user privacy and prevent unauthorized access to the platform?
- How can you create a clear, demonstrable ROI for law enforcement agencies adopting your platform, considering factors like reduced investigation time, improved case closure rates, and potential cost savings?

Help
This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.
The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments.
The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.
The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category.
The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.
The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.
Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
