Features of Phishly

One-Click AI Analysis in Gmail

Transform your email security from a reactive chore into a proactive, seamless habit. With the Phishly Chrome extension installed, your Gmail interface is empowered. Simply open any email that raises suspicion and click the "Scan with Phishly" button. Within seconds, our AI engine performs a deep forensic analysis, scanning the content, headers, links, and sender information without you ever leaving your inbox. This frictionless integration means protection is always just one click away, eliminating the dangerous delay of forwarding emails to IT or trying to guess legitimacy on your own.

Comprehensive Web-Based Email Scanner

Not every suspicious message arrives in Gmail. Phishly's transformative web tool extends your protection across your entire digital life. Whether you use another email client, receive a forwarded message, or encounter a dubious email on a social platform, you can copy and paste the full email content directly into our secure website. This versatile scanner provides the same powerful, instant AI analysis, ensuring you have a universal phishing detection tool at your fingertips, ready to analyze any text-based communication from any source.

Detailed Risk Assessment & Explanations

Phishly moves beyond simple red flags to deliver true understanding. After each scan, you receive a clear, color-coded risk verdict: Safe, Medium Risk, or High Risk. But the game-changing value lies in the detailed breakdown provided. The AI explains why it reached its conclusion, pointing out specific threats like "Suspicious Domain Mismatch," "Use of Urgent Language," "Potential Sender Spoofing," or "Social Engineering Tactics Detected." This educational component empowers you to recognize similar patterns in the future, turning every scan into a learning opportunity.

Privacy-First, User-Controlled Scanning

In a world of intrusive software, Phishly sets a new standard for respectful and secure user privacy. We fundamentally believe you should control your own data. Our platform is designed with a strict, user-centric model: we only analyze the emails you explicitly and manually choose to scan. There is no background monitoring, no automatic scanning of your inbox, and no data retention beyond the immediate analysis. Your privacy is protected by design, giving you the power of advanced AI security without any of the surveillance concerns.

Use Cases of Phishly

For Individuals Managing Personal Finances

Everyday users receive emails from banks, PayPal, Amazon, and tax services—prime targets for phishers. With Phishly, you can instantly verify the legitimacy of an email claiming your account is locked or there's suspicious activity. Before you ever click a link or enter a password, a quick scan can reveal if the sender's domain is spoofed or if the language is designed to panic you into action, protecting your personal finances and identity from devastating theft.

For Small Business Owners and Employees

Small businesses often lack dedicated IT security teams, making them vulnerable targets. Phishly acts as that first line of defense for every employee. When an invoice request comes from a "vendor" with a new bank account, or a "CEO" urgently asks for gift card purchases, a Phishly scan can detect the subtle signs of a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack. This simple check can prevent fraudulent wire transfers and data breaches, safeguarding the company's assets and reputation.

For Remote Workers and Freelancers

Remote professionals operate outside the traditional corporate security perimeter, relying heavily on email for client communication and file sharing. A phishing email posing as a client with a "project update" or a "new contract" can lead to malware installation or credential theft. Phishly empowers freelancers and remote workers to independently verify every request, ensuring that their devices and sensitive client information remain secure, no matter where they work from.

For Verifying Subscription and Login Emails

Phishers commonly mimic popular services like Netflix, Spotify, or software providers with fake "payment failed" or "password reset" emails. These can be incredibly convincing. Instead of ignoring potentially legitimate service messages or risking a click on a malicious link, users can paste the email content into Phishly's web tool. The AI will analyze the links and sender details, providing immediate clarity and preventing account takeover through stolen login credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Phishly protect my privacy?

Phishly is built on a foundation of absolute user control and privacy. We do not access, read, or scan any emails in your inbox automatically. Our AI only analyzes the specific content of the single email you actively choose to scan by clicking our button in Gmail or pasting text into our website. We do not store your email content after the analysis is complete, and we never sell or share your data. Your security is our priority, without compromise.

What kind of threats can Phishly detect?

Our advanced AI model is trained to identify a wide spectrum of phishing indicators. This includes technical red flags like suspicious and mismatched sender domains, malicious links disguised with URL shorteners, and poor SPF/DKIM authentication. It also analyzes content for psychological manipulation, such as urgent or threatening language, fake authority appeals (e.g., pretending to be the CEO), generic greetings, and requests for sensitive information like passwords or financial details.

Is technical knowledge required to use Phishly?

Absolutely not. Phishly is designed for everyone. The entire process is built for simplicity: install the Chrome extension or go to our website. From there, it's a single click or a copy-paste action. The AI does all the complex analysis work and presents the results in a straightforward, easy-to-understand format with plain-English explanations. You get enterprise-level security intelligence with zero technical setup or expertise needed.

Is Phishly really free to use?

Yes, Phishly is completely free to use. We believe powerful cybersecurity should be accessible to everyone, not just large corporations with big budgets. You can install the Chrome extension and use our web scanner as often as you need without any cost, subscription, or tiered limits. Our mission is to transform email security by making a sophisticated AI phishing detector available to all individuals and small businesses at no charge.
