Take a photo or screenshot of a suspicious text, email or pop-up and LookSteady tells you in plain English if it looks risky, what the warning signs are and what to do next. Your first check is free with no account. If you’re not sure, send it to a trusted family member with one tap, and set a family safe word for those “grandkid in trouble” calls. Screenshots stay private and are removed after 30 days. Guidance, not a guarantee.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI, photo upload, and alert flow are easy to vibe-code and a vision LLM can produce the verdict, but reliable scam detection needs a curated scam dataset and evaluation that a solo builder won't have by default.
What it would actually take: Build a mobile or web client with photo capture, send images to a vision-capable LLM or OCR pipeline, and return structured risk assessments with a family-alert notification flow. The hard part is accuracy: it needs a labelled corpus of real scam messages, regional phishing patterns, and continuous evaluation to keep false positives and negatives acceptable. Expertise in fraud and security, plus ongoing data collection, is what separates a demo from a dependable product.
