The person on your next video call might not be real. With Halo you don't have to guess. Halo secures your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet call live and flags synthetic faces the moment it detects one, entirely on your device. Deepfake video calls are already being used to scam people and businesses around the world, it's just that most people have no way to tell. From confirming who you're hiring to confirming who you're wiring money to, Halo catches it before it costs you.

Could you build this?
No Real-time, on-device deepfake video detection across various video calling applications requires specialized computer vision research, custom ML model optimization, and low-level OS video capture hooks. This involves low-latency edge inference and defenses against adversarial visual manipulation that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a native desktop client (C++/Rust or Swift) tapping into system video streams or virtual camera drivers, coupled with a highly optimized neural network (via CoreML, DirectML, or ONNX Runtime). The core challenge is training on massive multimodal synthetic artifact datasets (frequency domain analysis, facial landmark jitter, photoplethysmography/blood flow signals) running at 30+ FPS with minimal CPU/GPU overhead without generating false positives.
