Spam Likely provides a second opinion using an AI provider you choose. It can miss threats or flag legitimate mail and should never be your only security control.
AI can highlight suspicious wording, links, and social-engineering patterns. Its output can be incomplete or wrong, so verify important messages through trusted channels.
Click “Analyze” on a message you want reviewed. The extension sends selected message data to the AI provider you configured.
Configure one supported AI provider with your own API key. Provider privacy, retention, billing, and acceptable-use terms apply.
Requests go directly from the extension to the provider you select rather than through a Spam Likely analysis server.
A small “Analyze” control appears in Gmail. The final release removes inbox monitoring and automatic scanning.
Review only the message you select, then treat the result as one input to your own judgment.
Open the relevant message and click “Analyze.” The final release selects the currently expanded visible message.
A low-risk response means only that the model found no suspicious indicators. Verify requests involving money, credentials, or sensitive information independently.
The final release is manual and BYOK. It does not require mailbox credentials or route analysis through a Spam Likely server.

Spam Likely is being retired. Existing users can receive one final cleanup and manual-review update before the Store listing is removed.
The project’s phishing-awareness articles remain available as educational material.
