AI Phishing Detection Tool

A phishing detector that pairs deterministic email-forensics heuristics with a Claude LLM pass — plus a red-team generator and scorecard that measure how well it actually works.

  • ▹Verdict, risk score, rationale & highlighted risky spans
  • ▹Red-team generator with 3 difficulty tiers
  • ▹Catch-rate / false-positive scorecard
  • ▹Chrome extension scoring live Gmail
