Norton, a renowned provider of online security solutions, has introduced a new feature to help users steer clear of online scams. The company has unveiled Genie, an AI security assistant that is now accessible through ChatGPT.
The tool’s aim is to enable anyone to submit questionable messages, emails, links, or images and promptly receive an assessment to determine if they are genuine or potentially fraudulent.
Many individuals are turning to AI tools to confirm the safety of links and messages due to the rise in digital fraud. Norton has capitalized on this trend by incorporating its technology into the platforms where these verifications are commonly conducted.
Genie employs artificial intelligence to detect scams instantly.
Genie was designed by the company to thoroughly examine potentially suspicious messages by considering various factors such as context, language, and signs of manipulation, rather than solely relying on checking links against lists of dangerous sites.
This involves recognizing typical signs of scams like efforts to induce urgency, demands for confidential details, or messages pretending to be from familiar entities like companies, banks, or acquaintances.
The user has the option to copy the text from an email or message and inquire about it within the conversation.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to paraphrase.
The system then examines the content, indicating if it appears secure or questionable, and recommending the next steps.
More than 90% of threats aimed at users in 2025 were from scams, phishing, or fake advertisements, as reported by Gen’s Threat Report, a company affiliated with Norton.
Many of these attacks mimic ordinary messages like delivery notifications, banking alerts, or online offers, leading many individuals to click unknowingly on scam attempts.
Genie’s purpose is to assist users in pausing briefly to assess the situation before deciding on actions.
Who is eligible to utilize Genie?
Users of ChatGPT can utilize the Norton app within the Apps section, activate integration, and employ the @Norton command to request assistance in examining dubious messages.
The function is available on the Free, Plus, Team, and Enterprise plans, which are the ones that currently allow apps in ChatGPT.
Norton emphasizes the aim of not only preventing threats but also assisting individuals in recognizing scams before they cause damage.
This type of attention is more and more important, particularly in online settings where individuals disclose personal details to unknown individuals. A recent study conducted by Norton found that many Brazilians using dating apps are willing to connect with partners created by artificial intelligence, indicating a shift in online relationship dynamics due to technology.
