Cellebrite Genesis allows investigators faced with increasing crime and data types to quickly and intuitively interrogate digital evidence using the product's agentic AI capabilities to surface intelligence in minutes rather than days or weeks.

The need for AI-powered investigative tools has accelerated alongside the rapid growth of digital evidence and increasingly sophisticated digital crime. According to the FBI's 2025 Internet Crime Report, Americans lost nearly $21 billion to cyber-enabled crime last year, while complaints tied specifically to AI-enabled scams and fraud reached nearly $900 million in reported losses. Meanwhile, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received 21.5 million CyberTips and saw a 158% increase in reports of online enticement. 97% of investigators cite smartphones as the top source of digital evidence, and these devices have hundreds of thousands of messages, images, locations and app artifacts. The sheer volume of data makes it impossible for any team to manually navigate at the speed justice demands. The 2026 Cellebrite Industry Trends report also found that review time is the biggest barrier to moving cases forward, and that 65% of respondents believe AI can accelerate investigations.

Cellebrite Genesis is purpose-built for the specific demands of investigative work. Even though general-purpose large language models are highly capable, they are not trained to natively read forensic file formats that investigations depend on; following investigative methodologies and procedures, across multiple jurisdictions, preserving chain of custody and reliably tracing conclusions back to source evidence. Genesis is grounded in Cellebrite's more than 25 years of collaboration and investigative experience with substantial investment in data preprocessing, prompt engineering and inference training. It delivers high-fidelity insights on demand. With built-in guardrails, customer data stays private and isolated, no data is retained or stored, no customer data is used to train models or made available to external model providers or third parties, and every output is grounded in source evidence. The investigator remains in full control at every step.

Since March 2026, Genesis has been in Early Access with more than 800 users and 300 national, state and local agencies around the globe working active casework on crimes against children, narcotics, human trafficking, homicide and cold cases. Genesis natively analyzes more than 35 evidence formats including call detail records, warrant returns, documents, messages, images, video and audio, with or without mobile extractions involved. Customers consistently report two key outcomes: analytical workloads that once required weeks of investigator time are now completed in a single hour, in some cases even under 15 minutes, and Genesis is surfacing connections and evidence at scale that would have been nearly impossible to identify through manual review.

Features

• Warrant-Bound Search: Investigators can set Genesis to search only within the parameters of their search warrant, so the AI stays inside what the law allows on every case.
• Location Intelligence: A new map view shows where people and events moved across a case, making patterns easier to spot.
• Upgraded Media Analysis: Smarter analysis of images, v audio, including transcription and translation of approximately 120 languages, showing who said what, line by line.
• Refined Agentic Accuracy: The AI is better at knowing what it can and cannot do and relaying that to the user which ultimately means cleaner discoveries, answers and tighter connections back to the source evidence.
