Ad fraud detection and compliance analytics for connected TV, mobile, and web
Pixalate detects and filters invalid traffic across CTV, mobile apps, and web advertising, operating as an MRC-accredited service for fraud and compliance monitoring. The stack combines SQL, Python, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) with platform-specific SDKs (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV), reflecting a multi-channel detection architecture. Active adoption of RAG signals a shift toward AI-powered fraud pattern recognition, while the product roadmap centers on agentic AI systems and machine learning models—moving beyond signature-based detection toward behavioral anomaly detection.
