      What is Autohost's Screening AI?

      Think of our Screening AI as your super-smart security assistant that goes way beyond just checking if an ID is real. While ID verification is like checking someone's driver's license at the door, our Screening AI is like having a cybersecurity expert, fraud investigator, and hospitality veteran all rolled into one - working 24/7 to protect your properties.

      How It Works (The Magic Behind the Scenes)

      Our AI analyzes multiple data points simultaneously:

      1. Document Intelligence

      • Not just "Is this ID real?" but "Does everything about this guest make sense?"

      • Cross-references information across multiple databases

      • Detects sophisticated fake documents that basic verification misses

      2. Behavioral Analysis

      • How guests interact during the verification process

      • Booking patterns and timing

      3. Network Intelligence

      • Leverages our database of 100M+ verification events

      • Identifies connections to known bad actors

      • Spots emerging fraud patterns before they hit your properties

      4. Risk Correlation

      • Combines all signals into a dynamic risk score

      • Adapts to your specific property types and risk tolerance

      • Gets smarter with every verification

      If You're Currently Using Basic ID Verification

      You're probably catching the obvious stuff - fake IDs, blurry photos, etc. But here's what you might be missing:

      • Sophisticated fraud using real stolen identities
      • Professional party organizers with clean-looking profiles
      • Guests with histories of property damage at other locations
      • Coordinated booking attacks from fraud rings

      Our Screening AI catches these because it sees the bigger picture that individual ID checks can't reveal.

      If You Have Additional Screening Methods

      Great! You're already thinking like a security pro. Our AI can supercharge your existing processes:

      • Automates manual reviews - No more spending hours researching suspicious bookings
      • Reduces false positives - Fewer good guests getting unnecessarily flagged
      • Fills knowledge gaps - Catches threats your current methods might miss
      • Provides consistent decisions - No more "gut feeling" variations between team members

      The Autohost Advantage

      Unlike generic KYC providers, we're built specifically for hospitality:

      • Understand the unique risks of short-term rentals
      • Know the difference between a business traveler and a party planner

      Bottom Line
