The AI Is A Witness, Not The Judge

An Opinion Isn't Evidence

Ask a language model whether a message is a scam and you get an opinion. Its answer can shift with the wording, the message itself can talk it out of that answer, and it cannot show you what it actually checked.

So We Separated The Jobs

Passive checks inspect certificates, redirects, domains, threat feeds and email headers. A rule engine sets the risk level from what they find. Our self-hosted, fine-tuned model adds its reading of a message and explains the findings.

Findings, Not Feelings

Every point in a report links to the check behind it.

Honest Coverage

Checks that could not run are listed on the report.

Tamper-Evident

A report's hash can be anchored on-chain.

Checks Decide

Deterministic checks produce the evidence and a rule engine turns it into a risk level. The result is the same no matter how a scam is worded.

AI Explains

Our self-hosted model turns findings into plain language. Every quote and citation it produces is verified against the input.

Limits Are Listed

Unavailable checks are always reported. When the evidence runs out, the verdict is Inconclusive rather than a confident guess.

Prompt Injection

Try Telling It To Ignore Its Instructions

Text pasted into Vigil is data, never a command. An injection attempt becomes one more piece of evidence against the message, and the AI that explains the report has no say in its verdict.

Spotted Something?

Vigil Field Notes

Straight Answers

No. It means no malicious indicators were found within the checks performed. Every report lists what was checked and what could not be.

Not by asking. Known injection phrasing forces High Risk at minimum, whatever the model says. A reworded attempt could still sway the model, but a harmful request the rules find keeps the message at Suspicious or above.

Never as proof of legitimacy. A valid certificate only means the connection is encrypted.

That a report has not changed since it was anchored. It proves integrity and history, not that the conclusions are true.

The AI runs on our own infrastructure, so no third-party AI provider sees your input. Only hashes go on-chain.

No. Inspection is passive: no exploitation, no intrusive scanning, no file downloads and no JavaScript execution.
