ScamLens
Pause. Check. Protect.
After weeks of building, testing, and improving based on user feedback, I'm excited to officially launch ScamLens.

ScamLens is an AI-powered app that helps you identify suspicious messages, emails, links, and online scams. Simply paste or describe what you received, and ScamLens provides:
🚨 Scam risk assessment

My goal is simple: help people stay safer online and make informed decisions before they click, reply, or pay.

An AI-powered app that helps identify potential scams from screenshots.
How it works:
📷 Upload a screenshot
🤖 AI analyzes it
⚠️ Get a risk assessment
🧠 See Why AI Thinks This
💡 Receive safety tips
One thing I wanted to do differently was make the AI explain its reasoning instead of acting like a black box.
The app is currently on Expo while Google Play verification is in progress.
I'd love your feedback:
• Would you use something like this?
• What feature would make it more useful?

Send like something that folks could really use, especially in these days of so much AI generated content.

Love the focus on AI explainability here - showing users WHY the model flagged something as suspicious is critical for trust. Too many AI security tools act like black boxes, which creates friction. The scam detection market is huge and growing, especially with rising sophistication of social engineering. Quick q: are you thinking about extending this to email/text scams, or staying focused on image-based ones? Also curious how you're handling false positives - that could make or break user adoption if people start ignoring warnings.

This is a massive challenge, especially when trying to crack local network effects. I’m currently building a custom localized community platform for disc golfers, and trying to get those first 100 regional users to seed a geographic area feels like the ultimate chicken-and-egg problem. Are you focusing purely on broad digital acquisition right now, or are you looking at hyper-targeted, grassroots regional channels to get your core initial traction?

Hey, just wanted to say — your product looks really impressive. It feels useful, clean, and like something that can actually help people solve a real problem.
I’m building Everyday Tiny Tools — a marketplace for small useful web tools, mini apps, calculators, generators, AI tools, productivity helpers, and simple utilities.
The idea is to give independent creators a real place to showcase their tools, get discovered, and maybe even earn from them.
If you’ve built something small and useful, I’d love to invite you to list it here: EverydayTinyTools.com
Tools can be listed as free, or as a simple one-time purchase through the platform.
And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime: nuchem@lightboltlab.com
Really like what you’re building — wishing you a lot of success with it.

The real value here isn’t scam detection—it’s turning uncertainty into something explainable at the exact moment trust breaks.
Most tools only label risk, but the harder problem is helping users understand why they should hesitate, especially when the content is designed to feel urgent or familiar. That explanation layer is what actually changes behavior, not just the warning itself.
