YAL.ai, the UAE-based startup redefining safe digital communication, has secured $12 million in funding to scale its mission of making scam-free conversations the default online.
The company’s vision emerged from the growing reality that digital interactions—once limited to phone calls and emails—are now almost entirely online, creating fertile ground for scams that impersonate trusted contacts and exploit human trust.
“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.” said the founders.
YAL.ai is designed as the global standard for safe communication—more than just a fraud detector, it is a movement to rebuild trust in the digital world.
Proactive Protection – prevents scams before they happen, rather than reacting after damage occurs.
On-Device AI – works offline by design with no external data storage, ensuring privacy while spotting hidden patterns in real time.
Constantly Learning – adaptive AI evolves with new scam tactics, neutralizing threats at their origin.
Already tested with over 10,000 early users, the platform has successfully blocked phishing links, fake profiles, and impersonation attempts before they caused harm.
YAL.ai’s goal is not just to flag suspicious activity but to ensure that no scam—no matter how sophisticated—reaches its users. Behind the company is a mission-driven team of 70+ people united by trust, transparency, and a belief in protecting conversations as if they were their own family’s.
With its fresh $12 million funding, YAL.ai will expand into new AI-powered features to:
Verify trusted sources.
Enable safe and meaningful online connections.
Protect against manipulation, misinformation, and unsafe interactions.
“Be part of the future of safe communication. With YAL.ai, you and your connections stay protected—always,” the founders added.
