TrawlUp is an AI-powered cyber-safety platform built to protect individuals and their families from AI-era scams. With TrawlUp, anyone can identify scams by simply sharing a screenshot on WhatsApp. This makes it super accessible even for 60+ age groups who are the most vulnerable to scams. Hidden behind is an AI-powered platform that checks links, sender IDs, emails, fake websites, and ai generated voice, image or video, even if no one has ever reported that scam before. We presented the product at GISEC Global 2026 in Dubai and received an overwhelmingly positive response from UAE’s diverse group of users. Learn more at trawlup.ai.
