OnGuardAI: Smart AI Call Protection Against Phone Scams Phone scams have never been more sophisticated, and never harder to spot. Scammers now use AI to research their targets, fake caller IDs, and craft scripts designed to bypass even the sharpest instincts. OnGuardAI was built to fight back. It analyzes every call and voicemail in real time, detects scam tactics the moment they appear, and delivers instant warnings before any damage is done. Whether you're protecting yourself or someone you love, OnGuardAI works quietly in the background so no one has to face a scammer alone. REAL-TIME SCAM DETECTION While a call is happening, OnGuardAI analyzes it silently. The moment something sounds suspicious (artificial urgency, impersonation, suspicious financial requests), an instant alert appears with a clear recommendation to hang up. SEE THROUGH CALLER ID SPOOFING Scammers fake caller IDs in nearly 70% of attacks, impersonating banks, police, and even family members. OnGuardAI looks past the name on the screen and analyzes the live audio itself, detecting threats regardless of who the caller claims to be. TRUSTED CONTACT ALERTS Designate someone you trust. The moment a high-risk scam is detected, they receive an instant notification so you can talk it through together before any decision is made. VOICEMAIL PROTECTION Scammers don't just call; they leave intimidating messages designed to cause panic. OnGuardAI analyzes every voicemail for fraudulent intent and flags dangerous messages automatically. NO BLOCKED CALLS. NO MISSED CONNECTIONS. OnGuardAI doesn't block calls. It analyzes them. You stay reachable to doctors, pharmacies, and the people who matter, while staying protected from the ones who don't. YOUR PRIVACY, FULLY PROTECTED OnGuardAI analyzes your calls in real time and never stores them. Once a call ends, all audio and data are immediately deleted —recordings, no transcripts, no personal information retained anywhere. What happens on your call stays on your call. Protection without surveillance, always. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Set it up once and forget about it. OnGuardAI runs quietly in the background, delivering easy-to-read alerts through an interface anyone can use with confidence. You can even purchase and configure the app on behalf of a loved one directly from your own phone. They'll receive a link to download it, already set up and ready to go. OnGuardAI service includes: • Free trial available • Purchase on behalf of a loved one directly from your own device • Monthly and annual subscription options • Payment charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage or cancel auto-renewal anytime in Account Settings Privacy Policy: https://www.getonguard.ai/privacy-policy Terms of Service: https://www.getonguard.ai/terms-of-service OnGuardAI is a tool to assist in scam detection. Users should always exercise caution with unknown callers.
