For everyone thinking that tons of proprietary audio or video is a moat see below. Moat is people architecture and economics.
Called it @ColinGardiner. Distributed AI compute for audio!

We’re excited to welcome Helix to the Press On Ventures portfolio. @AlexOberg and team verify users as human, account owners, and of age with a two-second, on-device voice check built for an internet where AI can pass as human.
Why we invested: medium.com/@pressonvc/why-we…
This is amazing (or not). When we started Helix.id, we realized that the bot behaviors that have been affecting Ticketmaster for years were going to become democratized. Behavioral algos will be an arms race, forcing a human in the loop changes the economics.

I don’t usually invest in products for marketplaces, but I couldn’t pass on this one!
Helix is tackling one of the hardest problems on the internet: proving there’s actually a human behind an account.
Legacy verification wasn’t built for the AI era. Bots are winning.
Their approach is uniquely built around voice and can even detect voice spoofing from platforms like Eleven Labs.
If you want to learn more about what they are doing and you are in SF, @AlexOberg and the team are hosting Helix’s first TECH WEEK by @a16z event on Thursday morning, October 8th in San Francisco, with Persona on the panel.
Alex will sit down with Axios cybersecurity reporter Sam Sabin on where online identity is headed and what platforms need to do to stay ahead.
If you’re in SF, RSVP below. 👇
My cofounder, Anna, posted a thoughtful overview of current approaches to age verification. Particularly relevant with #KOSA and #Discord hitting the news.
