--- YOUR AI EMAIL SAFETY ASSISTANT ---

Open any email in Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail. FRED reads it automatically and shows a color-coded safety badge right in your inbox:

Click the badge for a full breakdown: risk score, detailed AI explanation, and every red flag FRED found.

--- HOW FRED ANALYZES YOUR EMAILS ---

FRED uses a 3-tier AI analysis engine that keeps safe emails fast and suspicious ones thoroughly reviewed:

  1. Instant pattern analysis — identifies common phishing tricks, spoofed senders, and urgency tactics the moment you open an email
  2. AI triage — a lightweight AI model quickly classifies borderline messages that pass initial checks
  3. Deep AI analysis — a full threat assessment with detailed explanation when something looks serious
Each tier only runs when the previous one flags something. Your inbox stays fast. Suspicious emails get explained.
