Savi raised $7 million in seed funding and is launching a consumer app for iPhone and Android aimed at AI-enabled scams, TechCrunch reports.
The company is focusing on increasingly realistic attacks such as fake kidnappers demanding ransom, where synthetic voice or other AI-generated signals can pressure victims into acting quickly.
Consumer protection tools are likely to become more important as generative AI lowers the cost of scams that sound personal, urgent, and believable.
