YAL.ai raises $12 million as it expands scam prevention tech, strengthens digital trust

Before our generation could even grasp the true value of safe communication, the digital world changed forever. In just a few years, conversations shifted from face-to-face or simple phone calls to an era where nearly every interaction lives online.

With this convenience came unprecedented risks. Scams evolved beyond stealing money or data—they infiltrated conversations, impersonated trusted contacts, and manipulated trust itself. This reality gave birth to the idea of next-gen communication safety.

“From fake profiles to phishing messages and identity theft, I’ve seen even the most tech-savvy people fall victim. Knowing that my own family could be at risk pushed me to imagine a solution—a built-in AI shield that could detect and block threats before they reached anyone. That vision became YAL.ai.”

What makes YAL.ai different

UAE-based YAL.ai is not just another fraud detector. It is the global standard for safe, scam-free communication—a movement to rebuild trust in the digital world.

Proactive Protection: Instead of reacting after a call, chat, or interaction is compromised, YAL.ai prevents the threat before it happens.

On-Device AI: With no external data storage, YAL.ai works offline by design. It spots hidden patterns in real time while keeping conversations private.

Constantly Learning: Its adaptive AI evolves with new scam tactics, ensuring threats are neutralized at their origin.

Think of it as your smart digital guard, always on duty.

The mission

Our goal isn’t just to flag suspicious activity. It’s to make sure that no matter how clever or new a scam is, it never reaches anyone who trusts us. Communication should be safe by default—because scams don’t just endanger your data or money, they endanger your confidence in human connection itself.

The team

Behind YAL.ai is a mission-driven team of 70+ people bound by a culture of trust, transparency, and learning. Titles matter less than the shared belief in protecting conversations as if they were our own family’s.

The road ahead

This is only the beginning. YAL.ai is expanding into Discovery & AI-powered features that will: Help users verify trusted sources. Enable safe, meaningful connections online. Protect against manipulation, misinformation, and unsafe interactions.
