CORTEGE

When to use it

Demonstrate a household fraud case using a simulated event or phone call plus a message excerpt, suspicious URL, or screenshot note.

Get started

Requirements

Node.js 18+, npm, and an Anthropic API key. Twilio integration requires the separate deployment setup.

git clone https://github.com/taylorparsons/cortege-hackathon.git
cd cortege-hackathon
./run-local.sh
# Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY when prompted

How to use

1. Open the frontend at http://localhost:5173. The backend runs on port 3001.
2. Choose or create a household and select its members.
3. Use the event simulator or Live Feed to add a test event and a manual evidence item.
4. Review the generated case severity, signals, rationale, and recommended action. Stop the app with ./stop-local.sh.

Under the hood

The React frontend connects to an Express backend through REST and WebSocket. An orchestrator manages member-specific agents and Claude assessments. This is a prototype with heuristics, not verified fraud prevention or image/video authenticity detection.
