“How do I attach a photo?”

Help in any app. No setup.

Hold a key, or just say “Hey Scout.” Ask anything. Scout looks at your screen, flies to the right button, and walks you through it one calm step at a time.

👆

Points, not paragraphs

Scout lands right on the button you need and says one short step. No hunting through menus.

👀

Watches over your shoulder

Do the step and Scout notices, then tells you the next one. “Click this… now press Enter… you're all set.”

📄

Explains the confusing stuff

A Medicare letter, a bank notice, an app you've never seen. Plain words, no jargon, never makes you feel silly.

Stops scams before they start.

People being scammed don't know it, so they never ask for help. Scout doesn't wait to be asked. It quietly watches every screen and steps in only when it matters.

🛑

Points right at the threat

Fake virus alerts, “IRS” gift-card demands, “Grandma, I'm in jail” texts. Scout flies to the fake number, explains what's wrong, and offers to close it.

⏸️

Pauses before you pay

Before a gift card, wire, or password goes to a risky page, the screen softly pauses. “Let's slow down for a moment.” The choice stays yours.

🖥️

Shields remote access

If AnyDesk or TeamViewer opens during a scam, Scout asks if you started it and can end the session.

How it works

Claude sees your screen together with the real buttons on it, so Scout lands on the right spot. Scams are tracked as playbooks over time: one odd screen is just odd, but a pop-up, a phone call, and a remote-control app in a row is a pattern. Claude is the witness; an explainable model is the judge.

Pick your buddy, your voice, and your shortcut in Settings. The “Hey Scout” wake word listens on-device.
