> AI-powered X audience verification — check if any account's followers are real.

Need to know if an X account's followers are real? Bot Hound's Bot Check audits any public X (Twitter) account's audience for bots and fake followers. Enter a username, pick a sample size and scan depth, and get a detailed, shareable report breaking down real followers, suspect accounts, and bots. The AI reads tweets, analyzes avatars, and detects impersonators — going beyond rigid rules to catch sophisticated fakes that simple heuristics miss.

## Use Cases

- **KOL vetting (crypto/web3)**: verify a KOL's real audience before paying for promotion
- **Brand audience audits**: check your own account's followers to understand real reach
- **Influencer due diligence**: verify influencer audiences before signing partnership contracts
- **Competitive intelligence**: benchmark competitor audience quality
- **Journalist fact-checking**: verify follower claims for public figures and organizations
- **Investor due diligence**: assess audience authenticity for social-media-dependent businesses

## How It Works

1. Enter any public X username
2. Choose sample size and scan depth (you control the cost)
3. AI classifies each sampled follower using tweets, profile data, and behavior
4. Get a detailed, shareable report: real, suspect, and bot breakdown with per-account evidence
