Savi, founded by brothers Patrick and Ryan Coughlin, launched Savi Mobile, a consumer app that screens texts, voicemails and phone calls for AI-powered scams. The platform features live-call monitoring that analyzes conversations for behavioral indicators of fraud while a call is in progress, helping users identify potential impersonation attempts in real time.
The company raised $7 million in seed funding and trained its detection models using data from Scamwise, its free scam-analysis platform that has processed more than 100,000 user submissions. Built on an AI gateway, Savi Mobile can leverage specialized AI models, including voice detection tools, while currently using Google's Gemini as part of its underlying technology. The service costs $8 per month or $63 annually and covers unlimited family members under a single plan.
For consumers, Savi reflects the growing shift toward AI-powered cybersecurity tools that counter increasingly sophisticated voice and text scams generated with artificial intelligence.
