Almost got played
Hired someone for a kitchen remodel. Got a call "from" him the day before asking to send the deposit to a new account. Wasn't him. Glad I checked before wiring anything.
HR uses this
I recruit and we’ve started seeing deepfaked candidates in video interviews. Sounds insane but its real. We verify identity before final rounds now. Genuinely useful for our team.
Great Protection
Sent my mom a connection invite and walked her through it once on the phone. She scanned it no problem. For someone who calls me to fix the TV remote this is a miracle honestly
Free and it works
no ads no subscriptions no catch that I can find. Does exactly one thing and does it well.
For everyone
Got my siblings and both parents connected after the holidays. We picked a word and now if anyone calls in a rush asking for money we check. Cheap peace of mind and took maybe 15 minutes for everyone.
Remote work must-have
Whole team is remote and we never meet in person. Now we confirm before any call where money or account access comes up. Boss got a “quick favor” message last month that turned out fake. Not anymore.
Took 2 minutes
Me and my brother set it up in like two minutes. Now we have a way to check, and thats all I wanted.
Good for verification
The whole idea is so simple it’s kind of embarrassing that nobody thought of it sooner. Confirm the pin so you know its really them. That’s it. I use it before anything important now.
Covered Now
Learned the hard way last year when I lost almost 3k to someone pretending to be a vendor. Glad it exists so now I’m at least covered going forward.
Good creation
So my dad got a call last year that sounded EXACTLY like me. Same voice, panicked, saying I'd been in an accident and needed money wired right away. He almost did it. It wasn't me obviously, it was some AI thing. He was shaken up for weeks. When I found Kibu I made our whole family set it up that weekend. Now we have a word and a PIN and if anyone calls in a panic we check first. I don't care if it's overkill. I never want to see him that scared again.

Cheap insurace
Real estate closings involve a LOT of money moving around and wire fraud is everywhere in my industry. My clients and i confirm the pin before every transfer now. Cheap insurance for something that could cost six figures.
Happens to everyone
Was 100% convinced i didnt need this. “Who’s going to deepfake ME”. Then it happened to a friend and i felt dumb. Its free and takes two minutes so theres really no reason not to. Just get it.
Smooth
Neat little app. Face ID login is smooth. Set up maybe took 2 min with my roommate. Can’t complain
Easy and real
Set this up for my grandma the other day. Now when i call her she actually knows its me, so its worth it.
Nice overall
Been following the deepfake stuff for a while and this is the first consumer app that actually does something about it. Set up connections with my whole team in under 10 min. Face ID login is a nice touch too.
Saves me
Almost sent $2k to a fake version of my brother’s voice last month so now I know it won’t happen again.
Good for Parents
Got this for my parents who are older because they were nervous after I showed them those AI scam videos. They even set it up themselves which shocked me but was great.
Simple
I find this to be simple, free, and it works! Will be using going forward.
Essential download
My friend made me download this and at first I was annoyed but after seeing all of the stories of AI scams circulating social media now I’m making everyone else download it.
Kibu = essential privacy
Essential app for those appreciate secure and private comminication
