A guide before and during an investigation
Talk through a concern, understand your options, and get help preparing a case. If you choose to hire, AI is intended to help keep the work organized for you and your investigator. People make the decisions—from whether to hire to what a report says.
People stay in control. You decide what to share and whether to hire or pay. Investigators review evidence and stand behind their reports.
Prewritten illustration. This fictional example is not a real case, submission, or live model call. Nothing is processed here.
Start with what happened. gotEM AI can help make your question clearer and explain options and possible next steps.
“I paid an online seller for a camera. They stopped replying. What can I do?”
“You could gather your order details, contact the payment provider, or explore whether an investigator may help.”
If investigation seems worth exploring, AI can help you shape rough notes into a case brief. You decide whether to proceed.
“I have the listing, messages, and payment receipt. I still want to find out who was behind it.”
Brief: Identify the seller behind the camera listing and clarify what happened after payment.
With your permission, a submitted case can be shared with suitable investigators who may choose to respond.
“Share my case with investigators who handle online purchase concerns.”
Your brief is ready for your review. If you choose to submit, suitable investigators may be invited.
Investigators can send bids through the platform. You review the details and decide whether to hire anyone.
“What should I look at before choosing?”
Consider the proposed scope, approach, timing, and price. You choose—or decide not to hire.
During a case, AI is intended to help you and your investigator keep notes, updates, and next steps organized.
“The seller replied on Tuesday. I sent the payment receipt on Friday.”
Possible timeline: Tuesday — Seller replied · Friday — Payment receipt shared
Investigator tools can support evidence organization, lead exploration, and report preparation. The investigator reviews and verifies their work.
“The listing is gone, but I saved a screenshot and the order email.”
Organize the screenshot and email with the case notes; the investigator reviews them and prepares a report.
