Assentwise

Your face. Your say.

Assentwise makes sure people agree before AI edits them in a photo.

Patent pending

Why it matters

AI tools can now change anyone’s face or body in a photo in seconds, and the people in that photo almost never get a say.

Assentwise is an on-device software module that photo and editing apps build into their AI features. It checks that each person in a photo agreed to the kind of change before it happens, keeps people who never opted in off-limits, and always blocks sexualized edits of real people.

What it means for people

You decide.

People choose how AI may change photos of them, and they can change their minds.

Strangers stay protected.

Anyone who hasn’t agreed is left alone by default.

Some edits are never allowed.

Sexualized edits of real people are blocked, whatever the settings.

Private by design.

It runs on the device, so no face data has to leave it.

Who it’s for

Teams that want a consent check they can license instead of build:

  • Photo and video editing apps
  • Phone and device makers
  • Social and messaging platforms
  • School and family software
  • Trust and safety teams

Working together

We’re looking for a small number of design partners for evaluation pilots, companies interested in licensing the module, and child-safety and image-abuse prevention groups interested in grant partnerships.
