Overview
AI assistant that reads your emails and explains suspicious messages in plain English.
Is this email a scam? Fred is an AI-powered email safety assistant that reads every message in your inbox and explains what it found in plain English — so you always know whether an email is safe or suspicious. ## How it works Open any email in Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail. Fred reads it automatically and shows a color-coded safety badge right in your inbox: 🟢 **Safe** — verified sender, no threats found 🟡 **Uncertain** — suspicious elements found, review before acting 🔴 **Likely a Scam** — do not click links, download attachments, or reply Click the badge for a full breakdown: risk score, detailed AI explanation, and every red flag Fred found. ## Two-stage AI analysis Fred uses a layered approach that keeps safe emails fast and suspicious ones thoroughly reviewed: 1. **AI triage** — a fast AI model reads every email you open and flags anything that looks off 2. **Deep AI analysis** — flagged emails get a full threat assessment with a risk score and a detailed, plain-English explanation The deep analysis only runs when triage flags something, so your inbox stays fast while real threats get explained. ## What Fred catches 🏦 Phishing emails impersonating banks, Amazon, PayPal, Apple, and tech support 🧾 Fake invoices and fraudulent payment requests 🎁 Gift card scams and advance-fee fraud 🎭 Spoofed sender addresses and lookalike domains (paypa1.com, arnazon.com) ⏰ Urgency tactics: "Your account will be suspended" / "Act within 24 hours" 🔗 Suspicious links and URLs that hide their real destination 👔 Social engineering and CEO/boss impersonation attacks 📦 Fake shipping notifications and delivery scam emails ## Check suspicious websites too Clicked a link from a suspicious email? Hit the Fred icon in your toolbar and select "Check This Page" to analyze any website for fraud signals, fake checkout forms, and phishing indicators. ## Scan history Your last 20 analyses are saved locally in a card layout with type labels (Email / Website), threat icons, and color-coded status so you can revisit past results at a glance. ## Plans & pricing **Free** — 50 email checks per month. Automatic inbox analysis included. **Fred Pro** ($3.99/mo) — 1,000 checks per month (20× the free tier). **Bring Your Own Key** — Use your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key for unlimited checks at no subscription cost. ## Privacy-first email safety 🔒 Fred never stores your email content on any server 🚫 No tracking, no analytics cookies, no telemetry 💻 Analysis history is saved locally on your device only 🛡️ Minimal browser permissions — only what is needed to read emails 📄 [Privacy policy](https://fredsecurity.com/privacy.html) Built by [Whiteboard Works](https://whiteboardworks.com).
