Location-Verified AI: Prove They're Actually There

Anyone can screenshot a QR code and share the link. Location verification stops that. ThingCore checks GPS coordinates + QR proximity to confirm the visitor is physically near the object before starting the AI conversation.

How Location Verification Works

When you create an object in ThingCore, you can enable geofencing. This sets a GPS radius around the object's physical location. When someone scans the QR code, ThingCore checks their device's GPS coordinates against the geofence. If they're outside the radius, the AI can block access, show limited content, or flag the interaction.

This is dual-factor authentication for the physical world: the visitor must have the QR code (factor 1) AND be at the location (factor 2).

Why This Matters

Anti-Counterfeit

A product scanned at an unauthorized location gets flagged. Proves authenticity at point of sale.

Exclusive Content

Unlock experiences, offers, or information that only work when you're physically at the location.

Compliance & Audits

Prove someone was physically at a site — for inspections, maintenance, or regulatory compliance.

Spoofing Prevention

Stop people from sharing QR links online and accessing content meant only for on-site visitors.

Real Scenarios

Museum: A student screenshots an exhibit QR code and shares it on Reddit. Without location verification, thousands of people access the guided experience remotely — using credits the museum pays for. With ThingCore, only visitors inside the museum can talk to the exhibit AI.

Luxury Brand: A counterfeit handbag has a cloned QR tag. A buyer scans it at a flea market. ThingCore checks the GPS — it's not an authorized retailer. The AI flags it as potentially counterfeit and directs the buyer to verify with the brand.

Real Estate: A listing's QR code gets shared on a forum. Without location verification, strangers who never visited the property flood the agent with fake leads. With ThingCore, only people standing in front of the house can interact with the sign's AI.

Add Location Verification to Your Objects

Enable geofencing on any ThingCore object. Set the radius. Control who gets access.
