Everything you need to know to get the most out of securAIty Email.
securAIty Email is a free AI-powered tool that analyzes suspicious emails, text messages, chat messages, and URLs to help you determine if they're safe or dangerous. It takes less than 30 seconds to get an answer.
All you need is:
Use the dropdown to tell us what kind of content you're pasting. This helps the AI tailor its analysis:
Copy the suspicious message and paste it into the large text area. Include as much of the original message as possible — subject lines, sender info, links, and the full body all help the AI make a better assessment.
Click "Add Context" to expand additional fields:
These fields are optional but significantly improve accuracy.
The tool will send your content to the AI for analysis. This typically takes 5–15 seconds. You'll see a loading animation while it works.
The results card will appear with a risk level, confidence score, detailed findings, and specific recommendations. Scroll down for the full breakdown.
Every analysis returns one of three risk levels:
The AI found no significant indicators of phishing, scams, or social engineering. The message appears to be legitimate.
What to do: You can likely proceed normally, but always exercise general caution — no tool is 100% accurate. Review the "best practices" section included with your results.
The AI detected one or more suspicious indicators. The message may not be outright malicious, but something doesn't look right.
What to do: Follow the numbered recommendations carefully. Do not click links or reply until you've verified the sender through an independent, trusted channel.
The AI found strong indicators of phishing, scam, malware, or social engineering. This message is very likely an attempt to steal your information or compromise your device.
What to do: Follow the emergency steps immediately. If you've already clicked a link or entered information, take the remediation steps listed in your results right away. Consider contacting a cybersecurity professional.
securAIty Email uses OpenAI's API to perform its analysis. You'll need an API key to use the tool.
If a demo key has been configured in demo-key.js or securAIty.config.js, it will auto-populate when you load the app. You'll see the green "API Key Active" pill immediately.
You can paste virtually any text-based message or link. Here are some common examples:
The tool itself is free. However, each analysis uses the OpenAI API, which may incur a small cost on your API key (typically less than $0.01 per scan using gpt-4o-mini).
securAIty Email is a powerful screening tool, but no AI is perfect. Use it as a first line of defense, not your only one. If the tool flags something as dangerous, take it seriously. If it says something is safe but you still feel uneasy, trust your instincts and verify independently. For critical security decisions, consult a cybersecurity professional.
Yes. Your messages are sent directly from your browser to OpenAI's API for analysis. Nothing is stored, logged, or transmitted to any other server. Your API key is held in session memory only and is erased when you close the tab. We have no database, no backend, and no analytics tracking your content.
Yes! securAIty Email is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. On mobile, you can copy a suspicious text message and paste it directly into the tool.
By default, securAIty Email uses OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini model, which offers an excellent balance of speed, accuracy, and cost. You can change the model in the securAIty.config.js configuration file.
Yes. Select "🔗 URL / Link" from the dropdown and paste the URL. The AI will analyze the URL structure, domain, and known patterns. However, the AI cannot visit or load the URL — it analyzes the link itself for suspicious characteristics.
You need to enter an OpenAI API key before you can run an analysis. Click the red "⚠ No API Key" pill in the top-right corner and follow the instructions. See Section 4: API Key Setup for details.
Absolutely. securAIty Email is a great first-line screening tool for employees. For enterprise-grade security solutions, monitoring, and incident response, contact Thin Green Security for a consultation.
Double-check that you copied the full key from OpenAI (it starts with sk-). Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the key. Try generating a new key from your OpenAI dashboard.
OpenAI limits how many requests you can make per minute. Wait 30–60 seconds and try again. If this happens frequently, check your OpenAI account's rate limits and usage tier.
The AI took too long to respond. This can happen with very long messages or during high-traffic periods. Try again, or try pasting a shorter portion of the message.
The AI returned an unexpected format. This is rare. Click "Analyze" again to retry. If it persists, try shortening your input or changing the message type.
Make sure you have both: (1) an active API key (green pill), and (2) text pasted in the input area. The button enables only when both conditions are met.
