About Cavefish AI
Emotional intelligence
built in Wales,
deployed globally.
Cavefish AI Ltd is a Cardiff-based emotional intelligence company. EchoDepth is our flagship platform: a real-time emotional analysis engine built for high-stakes commercial and regulatory environments.
Our Mission
The world makes better decisions when it understands human emotion.
Financial services is built on trust. But trust — the real kind — has always involved reading people. EchoDepth doesn't replace human judgement. It gives human judgement a foundation.
We built EchoDepth to close the gap between what people say and what their physiology reveals — a gap that fraud exploits, that stress widens, and that consequential decisions are made across every day.
Our constraint is intentional: EchoDepth does not claim to detect lies. It measures the involuntary physiological markers that accompany stress, cognitive load and emotional state change. What humans do with that information is a matter of their process, their policy and their judgement. We build the instrument. We don't render the verdict.

Ethics & Responsible AI
We've thought harder
about the limits than the capabilities.
Emotional AI can be misused. We know this. Our approach to responsible deployment is not an afterthought — it is built into the product, the documentation and the commercial terms.
EchoDepth does not claim to detect deception. It measures physiological markers. This distinction is fundamental — and non-negotiable in all deployments.
EchoDepth outputs are advisory. No automated decision that affects an individual may be made solely on the basis of EchoDepth data. A qualified human must review and act.
Training across 6 countries and 14 cultures is not a marketing claim — it is a bias mitigation strategy. We will not deploy EchoDepth in contexts where demographic bias in the model could cause discriminatory outcomes.
No raw video is retained. No biometric data is stored. All outputs are anonymised scores and statistical summaries. GDPR compliance is structural, not procedural.
