Norton's New AI Tool Helps Users Detect Scams in Messages

Norton's Genie is a free AI-powered scam detector available as a website and iPhone/iPad app. You submit text or images of suspicious messages for analysis.
Genie checks for scam tactics and red flags, then labels content as legitimate, malicious, or suspicious. It may identify the type of scam being used.
Genie's analysis isn't perfect yet, so use it as one method to spot scams. Chat with Genie to ask questions and get more details.
Test Genie with legitimate and scam emails. It missed some obvious scams but improved when links were removed from text.
Genie is still learning, so rely on other scam detection methods too. Use Genie's analysis to complement other tools.
