24 alternatives to Ward - AI-based anti-scam protection
I live in an area with a lot of older folks and I try to talk to them. One thing I've heard is how many of them have been scammed or know people who have gotten conned by phishing, tech support fraud, Medicare schemes, etc. Sometimes even their whole 401k or life savings. It's maddening to think there are individuals in this world taking advantage like that. I built Ward to start to tackle this. It’s a Chrome extension that can either run locally on your machine (with Gemini Nano) or use a hosted cloud-based endpoint. So far, it can pick up on a bunch of the top techniques used with little…

Leads Ward▲108Hey HN, I made a lightweight lead-quality layer after helping a close friend whose forms were getting hammered by bots, throwaways, and low‑intent leads. They needed a dead‑simple way to spot high‑intent submissions without duct‑taping 5 tools and spending hours filtering their leads list. I'd love your feedback. Happy to answer anything, architecture, security, performance trade‑offs, or product direction. Tear it apart.

OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

I got tired of slogging through walls of legal text whenever I had to sign something important, so I built a Chrome extension that uses AI to: - Spot red flags and suspicious clauses – It automatically highlights risk areas in real-time as you read through an online contract. - Score the contract’s safety – Based on industry-standard risk parameters, it gives you an at-a-glance score so you can see how risky the document might be. - Simplify the jargon – It generates a quick summary of the key points, saving you from reading every paragraph in detail. No more signing on hunches or bets!…

EGUARD▲3After seeing sophisticated phishing attempts slip through Gmail's filters, a friend and I built a browser extension that uses local AI to analyse emails for threats. It runs entirely in your browser using web-llm, with any threat being clearly labelled with an explanation of why it's suspicious. Still early days, but we'd love feedback from the HN community. Even if you're not comfortable installing it yet, we have screenshots showing how it works. https://www.eguard.app https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/eguard/dnpofinmilhb...
