In a world of deepfakes and AI bots, how do you prove you're real?
not.bot
gives you a digital signature that shows you're human - not just another bot.
Protect your identity
from deepfakes and imposters
Prove your content is yours
when you post online
Stay ahead of AI
that's getting harder to detect
The internet has a trust problem.
What happens when deepfakes become perfect?
Soon you won't be able to tell fake videos and images from real ones.
What if someone creates a deepfake of you?
Your reputation could be destroyed by content you never created.
When AI can create anything, how do you prove you're real?
There is a solution, and it's based on math that AI will never be able to fake.
not.bot
is the first easy-to-use way to prove you're a real person without revealing anything about yourself. And the best part
is that
not.bot
works across the entire web from day one.
How not.bot Works
not.bot
stickers are
digital autographs
that prove you created or approved something.
QR code stickers small and familiar
JAB code stickers private and self-contained.
Anyone can verify your sticker by scanning it with the free not.bot app:
Who created the sticker
The message in the sticker
The dates the sticker was created and scanned
And any verified information about themselves the person chose to include in the sticker
Build your network of verified humans! After scanning someone's sticker, you can add them to your trusted contacts.
This creates a network of people you know are real.
Keep track of what you've verified! Every sticker you scan gets saved in your personal history.
Good messages make good stickers
The key to not.bot stickers:
Be specific about what you're signing.
Not good: "Hi mom!"
(This could be copied anywhere)
Good: "Email to Sarah re: Dinner Tuesday?, sent March 15, 2025"
Very good:
"Acme Widget Product Demonstration Video
Originally posted at www.youtube.com/shorts/XyzXyz
Chef Lentil Legend loves the Acme Widget! Watch as he demonstrates
slicing tomatoes, dicing peppers and chopping onions"
(Fully describes the contents of the video)
The more specific your message, the harder it is for someone to misuse your sticker.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your passport information is only stored on your phone. We designed it this way on purpose - we can't use your data,
sell your data, or lose your data to hackers because we don't have it. You get verified as a real person while keeping
your privacy completely intact.
Unlike other companies that collect your data and promise to protect it, we designed not.bot so we don't have your data
at all. We don't have your passport information, we don't know what aliases you have, and we don't know when or where
you use the app. We can't lose what we don't have, and we can't sell what we don't collect.
No - and that's actually better. not.bot doesn't try to detect AI (which is getting impossible anyway). Instead, it
proves that a real human stands behind the content. Whether you wrote something yourself, used AI to help, or had AI
create it entirely - what matters is that you reviewed it, approved it, and put your signature on it.
Nothing stops copying the image itself, but the message inside can't be changed. This is why good messages are specific
- like 'My LinkedIn post about marketing tips, March 15, 2025.' If someone copies that sticker to a different post,
anyone scanning it will instantly see it doesn't match and know something's wrong.
We use fun animal names instead of boring random letters and numbers. Which would you rather remember: 'k8x2m9p7q4' or
'supremely-amiable-platypus'? There are over 2 billion possible animal names, so you'll probably never see a duplicate.
If you don't like your animal name, you can create a new alias to get a different one or upgrade to a paid subscription
to get a Reserved Name that will take its place for that alias.
That is called a
LifeHash
and it works like a visual fingerprint for your alias. Every alias gets a unique LifeHash that helps people recognize
you at a glance. Even if two aliases had similar names (which is extremely rare), their LifeHashes would look completely
different.
JAB codes are like supersized QR codes.
JAB codes
can store much more information directly in the image. Everything needed to verify your sticker is built right into the
image itself - no download required, more secure, and more private.
Aliases protect your privacy by letting you be different people online. Think of them like having different email
addresses for different purposes: one for work, one for personal, one for shopping. You might use one alias for
professional posts, another for personal photos, and another for sensitive topics. Even if someone discovers one of your
aliases, they can't connect it to your other online activities.
Give them nicknames that help you remember their purpose. These nicknames stay private on your phone only - no one else
ever sees them. Examples: 'LinkedIn' 'x.com - @politicsGuy' 'x.com - @sportsFan' or 'facebook.com - @familyAcct' Think
of it like labeling different keys on your keychain so you know which opens which door.
Hidden aliases are aliases you use rarely or want to keep private. Since aliases can't be deleted, hiding them keeps
your main list clean and organized. Hidden usernames are completely invisible until you unlock them with face or
fingerprint scan. Perfect for one-time use, sensitive topics, or usernames you want to keep secret even from someone
looking over your shoulder.
Easy! Just take a screenshot of the video when the sticker is visible, then tap the share button (box with arrow
pointing up) and choose 'not.bot' from the list. The app will automatically scan the sticker from your screenshot. You
don't need to save the screenshot - it can go straight to not.bot and then be deleted.
We're working on this right now! Soon you'll be able to recover your account if you lose your phone, transfer to a new
device, and use not.bot on multiple phones at once. This is one of our most requested features and a top development
priority.
There are two main ways to get a referral code: From existing users:
Ask on social media, check our Discord community, or ask friends who already use not.bot. Current users get codes to
share with people they trust. From our waitlist:
Join our free waitlist and we'll send codes to people regularly on a first-come, first-served basis. Signing up early
gives you the best chance of getting a code quickly.
Nope! Referral codes are generated on your device, so we never see who creates which codes. It's impossible for us to
connect a referral code back to the person who created it. This keeps your referral activity completely private, just
like everything else in not.bot.
Don't worry - you won't lose your digital identity! All your usernames, custom names, and existing stickers stay yours
forever. You just can't create certain new things: new usernames (if you have more than 5), new QR code stickers, or new
Verified Creator content. Everything you've already made keeps working normally.
We'd be the most boring hack ever. Unlike other companies that store mountains of personal data, we designed not.bot so
we're blind to your information. We don't have your name, email, payment info, passport data, or even know which
usernames belong to you. We can't read your sticker messages or track your activity. Hackers literally can't steal what
we don't have.
