Halo by Scam AI - Know who’s real on every video call
by•
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.

Around 1 in 7 digitial onboarding fraud attempts involve deepfakes and there has been a 16x increase in deepfake attacks in the last 2 years. From our enterprise customers we're seeing these same statistics parroted. I think we're lucky that right now it isn't too wide spread but we believe this to be more common place in the next year. Which is why we built Halo to get ahead of the game!

Congrats on the launch, Neo!
I have 2 questions:
How does Halo detect new deepfake models it hasn’t seen before? And my second question: how do you avoid false alarms during calls?

Thanks Aleksandar!
Halo is generalizable to do alright against new deepfake methods but to make sure it keeps up to date we have an agentic system that constantly scrapes the web for new deepfake methods, collects data, and fine tunes our model towards these new deepfakes.
For your second question: Halo runs a quality check on the input itself before it ever makes a call. Bad lighting, shaky footage, heavy compression, or a face too far from the camera can introduce noise, so we filter that out first. On top of that, if the model's ever on the fence and not fully confident, it pulls in more signals before deciding, so we don't throw false alarms during calls!
Already used the plugin for a few meetings already and seems to working well. Looking forward to seeing enhancements from this. 🔥

Incredible launch, congratulations! What use case have you seen being the most valuable so far and which is the use case that people underestimate most?
This is so cool! We had conceptualised something similar for the BFSI sector but unfortunately that didn't go through.

Congrats on the launch, Neo and team! Really exciting to see Halo live especially as someone who uses the Scam API. Since Halo uses Windows Graphics Capture, is macOS support on the roadmap?
Hi - on-device, does that mean it's mobile friendly for Apple & Android?
