UAE-based communication safety startup YAL.ai has raised $12 million in a Series A funding round from unnamed investors. The funding will help it scale its AI-driven platform and introduce new security-focused features that safeguard users from scams and identity fraud.
Reinventing Trust in the Digital Era
Founded in 2024, YAL.ai helps make secure and scam-free communication the global standard. The platform uses quantum-encrypted, on-device artificial intelligence to ensure users can interact online without the fear of deception, tracking, or impersonatation.
In an age where most communication takes place online, scams have become more sophisticated, targeting individuals and organizations alike. From deepfake voices to AI-generated messages, deception is evolving rapidly. YAL.ai looks to counter these threats at their source.
According to the founders, the idea behind YAL.ai came from witnessing how even highly tech-savvy individuals fall victim to scams. “Seeing friends and family nearly lose their privacy and security made us realize we needed a solution that worked before harm occurred. That’s how YAL.ai was born,” they said.
Technology Built for Safety
YAL.ai offers an advanced communication protection system that operates directly on the user’s device, maintaining privacy while proactively blocking threats. Its technology combines encryption, real-time AI analysis, and adaptive learning.
Key features include:
- Proactive Protection: Detects and prevents scams before they occur.
- On-Device AI: Operates offline with no external data storage, safeguarding user privacy.
- Continuous Learning: Adapts to new fraud tactics, improving with each interaction.
Tested by over 10,000 early users, YAL.ai has successfully intercepted phishing attempts, fake profiles, and impersonation schemes before they could cause damage.
A Mission Beyond Technology
YAL.ai positions itself not just as a security tool but as a global trust platform designed to rebuild confidence in online communication. The company’s mission is to ensure every message, call, and connection remains safe, authentic, and private.
The startup’s 70-member team is united by one belief: protecting conversations should be as personal as protecting one’s family. This human-centered philosophy underpins YAL.ai’s approach to technology and innovation.
What’s Next
With the new $12 million investment, YAL.ai plans to expand its technology and introduce advanced AI-powered features that will:
- Verify the authenticity of senders and sources.
- Prevent misinformation and manipulation in real time.
- Support safer, more meaningful online interactions.
As digital threats continue to grow, YAL.ai’s vision is clear: a future where every conversation has intelligence, trust, and privacy.
