VendorAI: Vendor Risk Check
Pre-Payment Vendor Vetting
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Catch fake vendors and invoice scams before you pay. Private, on-device
checks — your own AI key, no accounts, no cloud database. Free to try.
Know who you're paying — before the money moves.
VendorAI is the pre-payment due-diligence check built for bookkeepers,
controllers, and small accounts-payable teams. Before you approve an
invoice or send a wire to a vendor you haven't worked with before, VendorAI
checks the public record and gives you a plain-English risk score backed by
real, cited sources — in minutes, not a day of manual searching.
WHY IT MATTERS
Invoice fraud and fake-vendor scams almost always leave a trail: a business
with no real registration, a website that's three weeks old, an address
that's actually a mail-drop, bank details that quietly changed since the
last invoice. VendorAI runs the checks that would normally take a dozen
browser tabs and turns them into one number you can trust.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Enter a company name plus one more identifier — address, website, email,
phone, or tax ID. Or paste it from an email, or scan a document.
2. Pick Quick (4 checks) for a fast first look, or Full (11 checks) before
money actually moves.
3. Get a 0–100 score in one of six plain-English risk bands, with every
finding traceable to its source, date, and confidence level.
4. Decide. VendorAI never auto-approves or auto-rejects a vendor — every
status change is a decision you make, always.
ELEVEN CHECKS, RUN AGAINST THE LIVE WEB
• Business existence & registration
• Legal name match
• Address — mail-drops, virtual offices, shared-address detection
• Phone & email validity
• Website domain age and privacy signals
• Ownership / named officers
• Officer background — bankruptcy, disqualification, and criminal-
proceeding records for named owners, always shown with sensitive,
non-definitive framing
• Reputation and complaint signals
• Adverse media coverage
• Public records — liens, judgments, filings
• Duplicate-vendor detection (free, on-device)
• Invoice diff — flags changed bank details, the classic BEC pattern
(free, on-device)
• Conflict-of-interest screening against your own employee list
(free, on-device)
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There's no VendorAI server and no account to create. Every vendor record
and piece of evidence lives in an encrypted database on your device.
VendorAI runs on your own AI provider key — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google
Gemini, Groq, or Mistral. Your subscription pays for the app; your AI
provider bills your usage directly. Export or wipe your data any time.
WHO IT'S FOR
Solo bookkeepers, independent controllers, and small AP teams who want a
second set of eyes on a new vendor — without buying into enterprise AP
software or a corporate onboarding process.
WHAT VENDORAI DOESN'T DO
VendorAI surfaces publicly available information for your review. It never
states that a person or company has committed fraud or any crime, and
findings about named individuals are never presented as confirmed identity
matches. It's a research aid, not a verdict — your judgment always makes
the final call.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixed an issue where AI-powered ingredient and menu analysis could fail for users on Gemini or Groq. Improved error messages so you'll know exactly what to fix if an AI provider ever has trouble.
