Problem

People who are isolated online find it hard to tell a friend from a scam.

Approach

Three agents read a shared chat, judge it against the user's own boundaries, and check each other.

Outcome

A deployed, working prototype built at Accel's AI Innovate hackathon in London.

I shaped the concept and built the agent layer.

State your role first: concept, PRD, agent plan, flows, agent code. Name what teammates owned (UI, database).

Two interviews changed what Judy should never do.

What the two interviewees said and which design decisions each finding led to.

Four answers instead of two, including 'I'm not sure'.
