Founder verdict
MAYBE
Halo tackles a terrifyingly real problem with a defensible technical approach, but its success depends on an unproven market and the ability to outrun tech giants.
What is Halo (by Reality Inc., formerly Scam AI)?
Halo is a Windows desktop app that silently watches video calls and spots face-swaps or synthetic faces on the fly, without ever sending a frame off the device. It targets the new attack surface where real-time deepfakes impersonate executives or candidates on live calls, which has already caused a single $25M wire fraud. By keeping everything local, Halo avoids cloud latency, privacy nightmares, and per-minute GPU costs — while giving the defender an alert during the call, not after the money is gone.
