Is use.ai legit or a scam?
Misleading AI aggregator with widespread complaints of unauthorized subscription charges and poor refund handling.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Visual Screenshot Analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The page presents itself as 'Gemini 3.1 Pro' on a third-party platform (use.ai) with a UI resembling Google's Gemini, while its own footer disclaims any affiliation with the original model developers — a pattern of brand name misappropriation that could mislead users about the service's origin and data handling.
What our vision model saw
5 signalsPage header displays 'Gemini 3.1 Pro by use.ai', presenting a third-party site as if it were Google's Gemini product without being affiliated with Google.
Footer disclaimer explicitly states 'We are not affiliated with any owners or companies that developed the LLM models provided on this website', acknowledging unauthorized use of a branded AI name.
The interface layout closely mimics Google Gemini's chat UI (central prompt box, suggested action chips), while being hosted on a different platform (use.ai).
No visible privacy policy, terms of service, or pricing information links present on the page.
Sign-in prompt present — users who authenticate may be submitting credentials to a third-party service operating under a misleading brand name.
MT Intelligence
use.ai presents itself as 'MT Intelligence Pro' on a third-party platform with a UI closely mimicking Google's Gemini, while a footer disclaimer acknowledges it is not affiliated with the original model developers. The domain is 8.5 years old and registered to Use AI Inc at a Delaware virtual mailbox address, but the evidence package contains four detailed scam reports from Reddit and Trustpilot describing unauthorized post-trial charges (€29.99–$32/month), lack of trial-ending notifications, and difficulty removing saved payment methods. Users report refunds only after bank chargebacks and support responses that appear templated or bot-generated. The visual analysis flags the misleading branding pattern, and the lack of visible privacy policy, terms of service, or transparent pricing on the homepage compounds the risk. While the domain has clean antivirus scans and valid SSL, the high volume of consistent billing-complaint reports and the pattern of brand misappropriation create substantial scam likelihood.
