Summary

Savi is launching an app meant to help consumers defend against realistic AI-enabled scams, and it has already raised $7 million in seed funding.

Why it matters

As synthetic audio and video get better, consumer trust becomes a product surface. This is one of the clearer examples of AI creating a new problem fast enough to support a new defensive category.

Founder/operator read

Products in this space need immediate clarity: what attack surface they cover, how they detect abuse, and why users should trust them in a high-stress moment.
