Yes, there we go. It detected that it is an unknown phone because it is phone number, not a name. And so now it's recording,
caller
Hi,
caller
this is your granddaughter Vanessa. Um,
senior
recording both ends, but it is mainly analyzing
caller
I need money. I got arrested for a DUI and they're asking for $30,000. Can you please send me money? I'm gonna send you a link.
senior
additional users such as streetlight locations, accessible routes. Very hard to hear, unfortunately. He's saying some standard routes and campus data that allows you to navigate. And we will see it analyzes

sections of 20-second chunks. If you want to handle that, it gives it enough time to actually have the game tested once again, but also short enough to where, uh, well-lit road will probably send a location within 20 seconds, right? So here we have the AI voice probability.

99% human because he's a human, of course, but very high-risk scam. We can see some context of what he said. He claimed to be granddaughter Vanessa, demands $30,000, requests— asks for a link. Very basic. What happens is it sends a message to the content. So now we can say, is it me? Uh, then you can say yes, give it
senior
not me, then go protect Nani. Tell her to stop the call because it's a scam. So I'm just gonna say yes, it's me, so she's okay. For the case of like other scams, like non-impersonation scams, like maybe a bank scam, it'll still give you advice in real time right here. Of course, I can't send a notification to your bank, but it'll still give advice like hang up, call your bank.
senior
Hello everyone, congratulations! Episode 1 is over.

Hollywood detects a random number, gets a sense of how important it is to the audio. Other than that, it should work pretty much the same. In real time, that data is sent to our app here. And then we also have each color there. This is 10:27, exactly when I stopped. And 95% of your life, right?
