Description

Rakshak is a real-time AI conversation guardian that protects users from cyber fraud such as digital arrest scams, UPI fraud, OTP phishing, and social engineering attacks. It continuously analyzes live conversations using Gemini Live, combining speech, conversational context, and device signals to detect manipulation patterns rather than relying on simple keyword matching. When a scam is detected, Rakshak immediately intervenes with voice alerts, visual warnings, and contextual explanations before financial loss occurs. It can also extract relevant evidence, such as UPI IDs and transaction details, to assist users in reporting incidents to cyber authorities. Designed for privacy, low latency, and real-time protection, Rakshak transforms cybersecurity from reactive detection to proactive intervention, helping users stay safe from evolving scam tactics.

## The Problem

**Digital Arrest scams** cost Indians ₹1,000+ crores annually. Scammers impersonate police, CBI, or customs officials over voice/video calls, isolate the victim, induce panic, and coerce immediate fund transfers.

**The victim:** Elderly citizens (55+) who are less tech-savvy, easily intimidated by "digital authority," and often live alone.

**The gap:** Existing solutions require the user to *realize* it's a scam and hang up. In a panic state, they can't. **Rakshak breaks the panic cycle for them.**
