# Genbounty - The AI Bug Bounty Platform

About

Genbounty is the AI bug bounty platform. Founded in London by Cindy Ogidi and Robert Morel, Genbounty enables companies to test LLMs, agents, RAG systems, MCP servers, models, and prompts for real-world vulnerabilities - prompt injection, jailbreaks, unsafe tool use, data leakage, and more.

Core Mission

"Make AI products safer by paying researchers to break them first."*

Features

Companies set budget, hire teams, triage findings; Genbounty manages payouts
Companies invite teams, not individual researchers
Structured submission workflow with severity ratings and reproduction steps

How It Works

Companies launch a program - Define scope, budget, rules of engagement, and severity criteria

2. Teams get invited - Hire one or more vetted external teams or run an internal red team 3. Researchers hunt and submit - Teams test within scope and submit vulnerability reports 4. Companies triage and accept - Accept valid findings; Genbounty pays teams from your program budget

Program Scope Types

Applications - AI-powered apps and user-facing products
Agents - Autonomous agents with tool access and multi-step workflows
