Retiring · final update for existing users

Gmail catches 99.9% of spam.
Start catching the 0.1% that matters.

Select a message in Gmail, and Spam Likely points out possible warning signs and explains why. It runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Mistral API key.

AI can miss scams or flag legitimate mail. If a message asks for money, passwords, or personal details, confirm with the sender another way before acting.

Features

A second opinion, with clear limits

AI can highlight suspicious wording, links, and social-engineering patterns. Its output can be incomplete or wrong, so verify important messages through trusted channels.

On-Demand Email Scanning

Click “Analyze” on a message you want reviewed. The extension sends selected message data to the AI provider you configured.

Manual review only in the final release
Explanations of possible warning signs
No automatic verdicts for your inbox
Not a guarantee of safety

Provider Choice

Configure one supported AI provider with your own API key. Provider privacy, retention, billing, and acceptable-use terms apply.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Mistral
One preset model per provider
Keys remain in extension-local storage
No hosted Spam Likely analysis service

Bring Your Own Keys

Requests go directly from the extension to the provider you select rather than through a Spam Likely analysis server.

Your API keys, your control
No Spam Likely analysis server
Direct provider communication
Provider policies still apply

Gmail Integration

How It Works

How manual review works

Review only the message you select, then treat the result as one input to your own judgment.

Manual Scanning

Open the relevant message and click “Analyze.” The final release selects the currently expanded visible message.

Click “Analyze”
Sender, subject, current message text, and links are sent
Attachments and quoted thread history are excluded
The current-message text is length-limited

Review the second opinion

A low-risk response means only that the model found no suspicious indicators. Verify requests involving money, credentials, or sensitive information independently.

Never rely on the result as a guarantee
Use Gmail and organizational security controls
Confirm unusual requests through another channel
Report phishing through Gmail when appropriate
