MirrorCheck: How Do the Machines See You?

MirrorCheck is a free set of tools to see yourself as machines do: whether your password leaked, what your photos reveal about you, how AI describes you, and how you look to recruiters and shopping agents.

AI now sits between you and the decisions that shape your life: hiring screens, shopping agents, fraud scores, and the everyday “ask an assistant about them” lookup. Each of these acts on a machine-readable version of you, not the real you, and nobody can normally see their own. MirrorCheck is that mirror. Pick a reflection to inspect.

Why you cannot just ask ChatGPT

Asking a single AI “how do you see me?” hits a paradox: it is only one of the observers, it shows one sanitised view, and it often refuses to look people up at all. It also cannot run the probes that reveal your real exposure, a breach database, your files' hidden metadata, how other models describe you, and you should not paste your whole identity into it. MirrorCheck runs those checks directly, keeps your data on your device wherever it can, and shows you the reflection, so you can fix it before it costs you.

You have a machine-readable double. Meet it.

AI now mediates the decisions that shape a life: whether a recruiter's tool advances your resume, what a shopping agent tells a customer about your business, how a fraud model scores you, what an assistant says when someone asks about you. Every one of those acts on a machine-readable version of you, not the real you, and outcomes route through that double. Almost nobody can see their own. MirrorCheck is the mirror.

The reflections you can inspect

  • What have I leaked? Check a password against real breach data, privately.
  • What do my photos reveal? See the hidden location, name and device data in your files.
  • What does AI say about me? Read what an AI model believes about you, and its mistakes.
  • How does an AI recruiter read me? See what the screening step extracts and scores.
  • Can AI agents find and buy from me? Check whether your store is understandable to shopping agents.

Why a chatbot cannot be the mirror

It is tempting to just ask an AI how it sees you, but that runs into the self-audit paradox. The assistant you ask is only one of many observers, so it cannot describe all the others. It shows a single, sanitised view, and it frequently refuses to look up real people at all. It cannot run the probes where your true exposure lives, a breach database, the metadata inside your files, a comparison across models, and you should never hand your entire identity to a chatbot. MirrorCheck runs those checks directly instead.

Private, and honest about limits

The password and file checks run entirely in your browser, so seeing your exposure never creates more of it. The AI checks sample a model once and are framed as indicative snapshots, not definitive reports, because different assistants say different things and all of them change. MirrorCheck is the outgoing counterpart to RealCheck: RealCheck guards what comes at you, MirrorCheck governs what represents you. Together they are how you keep your footing in an AI-mediated world.

MirrorCheck: How Do the Machines See You?, frequently asked questions

What is MirrorCheck?

MirrorCheck is a free set of tools that let you see yourself the way machines do. AI systems and databases now hold a version of you, your leaked passwords, the hidden data in your photos, what AI models believe about you, how an AI recruiter reads your resume, whether shopping agents can find your business, and that machine-made version drives real decisions. MirrorCheck lets you inspect each reflection so you can fix what is wrong or exposed.

What can I check with MirrorCheck?

Today: whether a password of yours has leaked in a breach, what location and identity data your photos reveal, what an AI model says about you or your business, how an AI recruiting screen reads your resume, and whether AI shopping agents can understand and buy from your store. Coming next: your email breach and data-broker exposure, what is publicly indexed about you, and a fused Shadow Score you can track over time.

Why can't I just ask ChatGPT how it sees me?

Because you hit a paradox: the AI you ask is only one of many observers, it shows a single sanitised view, and it often refuses to look people up at all. It also cannot run the probes that reveal your real exposure, checking a breach database, reading your files' hidden metadata, or comparing how different models describe you, and you should not paste your entire identity into a chatbot. MirrorCheck runs those checks directly and keeps your data on your device wherever it can.

Is it private?

Yes, by design. The password check and the file metadata check run entirely in your browser, so nothing sensitive is uploaded. The AI perception check sends only the name you enter to a free AI model. Privacy is central, because seeing your own exposure should not create more of it.

Who is MirrorCheck for?

Anyone who wants to understand and control their digital footprint: job seekers curious how AI screens them, business owners checking what AI tells customers, and privacy-conscious people who want to know what their files and passwords give away. It is the outgoing counterpart to checking incoming threats: it governs what represents you to the machines.

Is it free?

Yes, every MirrorCheck tool is free with no signup.
