In development. Early access is open.
One AI that protects you from the rest.
Think of it as a porch light for your browser and inbox. We're building an always on helper that keeps an eye out for scams, fake messages and pushy AI, and tells you in plain words when something isn't right.
Nothing to install yet. We'll email you when there's something to try.
When something looks wrong, it speaks up.
Before you click, pay or reply, you'd get a short note in plain words: what looks off, and the safe next step. No jargon and no scare tactics.
Planned first: your web browser and your email. Text alerts on Android phones come after that.
CONCEPT Not a working product yet.
Email checkThree things it's being built to keep outside.
You shouldn't need to be an expert to stay safe. That's its job.
Scam emails, texts and cloned voices
An email that says your account is locked. A message from a "new number" asking for gift cards. It's being built to flag the warning signs in your inbox and browser and give you the safe next step. If a call or voice message didn't sound right, you'll be able to describe it and get a plain answer about whether it could be a cloned voice.
A pause before you pay
AI assistants can now buy things and send money for you. It's being built to pause before a payment goes through, so you can confirm it's really what you meant, whether you clicked or your assistant did.
Chatbots that get too close
Some AI companions are built to keep you talking, or to ask for money and personal details. It's being built to tell you when a conversation starts to cross that line.
This isn't a future problem. The FBI is already counting it.
$893 million
Losses in complaints to the FBI in 2025 that mentioned AI, across more than 22,000 complaints.
$7.7 billion
Total reported losses to online crime for people 60 and older in 2025, across 201,266 complaints. That's every kind of crime, not only AI.

AI Actually isn't built yet, and we won't pretend it is. We're looking for early testers, people of every comfort level with tech. Leave your email and you'll hear from us first when there's something real to try.

Save me a spot
If AI is going to be used against us, we need one on our side.
I'm Anthony Proctor. I build with AI every day, so I know how good it is. I also know how easily it can be turned on you. A voice can be copied. An AI tool can spend money before you notice. A chatbot can get close enough that you tell it things you'd never tell a stranger.
Most of the advice out there asks you to be on guard all the time. That's not fair to anyone. So we're building one AI whose whole job is to look out for you. I'd rather ship something small that works than promise something big that doesn't.

What people ask us.
What is AI Actually?
A personal AI we're building to protect you from AI used against you. It's meant to sit in your web browser and your email and speak up when something looks wrong: scams and fake messages, payments you didn't mean to make, and chatbots that push too far.
Is it available?
Not yet. It's in development, and there's nothing to download today. People on the early access list get first access when there's a version to try.
Will it listen to my phone calls?
No. It won't listen to or record your calls. If a call or voice message seemed off, you'll be able to describe it and get a plain answer about what to do next.
Who is it for?
Adults, at any comfort level with tech. We're designing it for people who'd rather not think about AI at all.
What will it cost?
We haven't decided. Early access members will hear about pricing first, before anything is for sale.
What happens to my email address?
We use Kit to send email. It asks you to confirm your address first, every message has a one click unsubscribe, and we won't sell or share your address. The privacy policy has the details.
Who's building it?
Anthony Proctor, a builder in Denver, Colorado. AI Actually is independent. It takes no money or referral fees from any AI company or security product.
