Fred — AI Email Safety Assistant

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?
