GhostFilter AI

Web Platform

The GhostFilter application, scanner modes, connected sources, history, and judge routes.

The web platform is the human-facing GhostFilter product. It is separate from the ghostfilter-ai SDK, although both implement the same local-first safety idea.

Scam Shield

Scam Shield accepts pasted messages, email text, links, screenshots, PDFs, .eml messages, and supported text files. Results can include:

  • safe, suspicious, or scam verdict
  • confidence and local model risk
  • highlighted phrases and behavioral evidence
  • individual ensemble layers
  • email-header forensics
  • link and domain reputation
  • attachment hash reputation
  • a practical next action

Scanning a file extracts text for analysis. GhostFilter does not execute uploaded files or scanned commands.

GhostGPT Firewall

The firewall checks untrusted text before it reaches an AI agent. It returns pass, isolate, or block, explains its findings, and creates a safe context wrapper for risky content. Firewall history is stored separately from human-facing scam history.

The same decision is available through the SDK and the documented REST endpoint.

Connected sources

SourceCurrent behavior
GmailRead-only scan of recent inbox messages
Google DriveRead-only scan of recently shared supported files and metadata
GitHubRead-only scan of notification-style content
SlackRead-only scan of content allowed by the configured Slack application
OutlookPrepared in code but outside the judged production path
WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and SMSManual paste lanes; the web app does not read private chats

OAuth availability depends on each provider application being configured. Google must be published for accounts outside its test-user list. Connected-source tokens are encrypted before storage.

Accounts and history

GhostFilter uses NextAuth sessions with Convex user records. Each account has isolated scan history, analytics, connected-source metadata, and correction feedback. Users can search, filter, sort, delete individual scans, or clear their history.

Passwords are salted and hashed with scrypt. Plaintext passwords are never stored.

Optional services

Core scam and firewall checks run without an external AI provider. Extra capabilities depend on configuration:

  • Gemini provides selective structured review and binary image/PDF extraction.
  • VirusTotal provides domain and attachment-hash reputation.
  • urlscan.io provides sandboxed page previews.
  • Upstash provides shared rate limiting across server instances.
  • Ollama provides open-model responses for Ghosti when reachable by the server.

If an optional service is unavailable, GhostFilter either uses its documented local fallback or omits that enrichment without executing untrusted content.
