We Are Proofig AI

The leading AI platform for automated image integrity quality assurance in scientific publications, trusted by top researchers, publishers, and institutions.

Our Mission

Proofig AI exists to protect both science and scientists. Our platform detects unintentional errors and intentional manipulations, ensuring every research image is authentic and trustworthy. Our diverse team of scientists, AI experts, and product innovators shares one goal: to uphold the credibility of scientific publishing through responsible technology. At Proofig AI, integrity isn’t just about detection — it’s about protection. We safeguard reputations, expose manipulation, and strengthen trust in science worldwide.

Our Story

Proofig AI began with a simple realization — even honest researchers can face devastating consequences when image issues go unnoticed. While doing his postdoc at Harvard Medical School, our founder Dror saw colleagues investigated for image problems they hadn’t caused. It didn’t make sense: years of work and reputation could be lost over an honest mistake or a collaborator’s poor decision. When he asked an editor at Nature if a pre-publication image QA tool existed, the answer was no — but the need was urgent. That moment inspired him to build Proofig AI.
