Sanket — Real-Time Scam Detection Copilot
Forward a suspicious message — get a plain-language verdict in your own language.
An anti-scam copilot for India that works over WhatsApp, SMS, web, and a browser extension. Users forward a message or screenshot and get a verdict — scam / suspicious / safe — in plain vernacular language, with one-tap escalation to 1930 and cybercrime.gov.in.
// problem
India loses thousands of crores to digital scams every year, and the victims — often first-time internet users — have no fast way to verify a suspicious message before acting on it.
// impact
A never-silent verdict pipeline: an offline rule pre-scan (12 India-specific scam signatures + URL heuristics) runs first, an LLM layer (Claude with Gemini/Groq/OpenRouter free-tier failover) refines it, and a rule-based fallback guarantees an answer even with no API keys configured. Ships with screenshot/vision analysis, vernacular-native replies, shareable scam reports, anonymized public stats, and HMAC-verified webhooks.
