The problem
Online manipulation doesn't happen in a single message
When a predator targets someone online, they rarely send one obviously dangerous message. Instead, they spend weeks or months building trust, creating emotional dependency, pushing boundaries a little further each time, and conditioning the victim to keep the relationship secret. By the time something clearly wrong happens, the victim is often already deeply trapped.
The same pattern plays out in financial scams, romance fraud, and sextortion — a slow build of trust, followed by escalating pressure. Today's safety tools almost always miss this because they look at individual messages in isolation, or they scan content on a server in the cloud. Neither approach can see the full picture.
Why current tools fall short
Three problems no one has solved — until now
They can't see encrypted messages. Apps like WhatsApp use end-to-end encryption, which means the message exists as readable text only on the sender's and receiver's screens — never on any server in between. Cloud-based safety tools are completely blind to these conversations, which now make up the majority of mobile messaging.
They can be bypassed with a single tap. Tools that monitor network traffic only work on Wi-Fi. The moment someone switches to cellular data, all monitoring disappears — no technical skill required.
They depend on app makers' permission. Many parental tools connect through the official APIs of social apps. When those apps change or revoke API access — which they increasingly do — the tool stops working with no fallback.
Agent Hita sidesteps all three problems. It reads what's displayed on the device screen — the same way a screen reader for the visually impaired does — so it works across every app, on any network, including end-to-end encrypted conversations, without needing permission from any platform.
Who we protect
Protection for anyone who needs it
Parents of children and teenagers. Agent Hita gives parents meaningful early warning about the patterns that precede serious harm — grooming, sextortion attempts, dangerous contacts — without turning into an intrusive surveillance tool that reads every message.
Guardians of older adults and seniors. Adults who may be more vulnerable to romance scams, financial fraud, and impersonation attacks deserve the same protection, with settings calibrated for their specific risk profile.
Guardians of vulnerable adults. Adults with cognitive disabilities, those in early-stage dementia, or people in isolated or controlling situations can benefit from protection calibrated for adult-level autonomy and dignity.
People protecting themselves. Adults who are experiencing harassment, coercive control, or financial pressure can run Agent Hita for their own benefit — receiving private alerts and safety guidance without involving anyone else.
Built-in protection against misuse
Designed so it can never be turned against the people it protects
Monitoring tools can be abused. An overbearing or abusive adult could theoretically use a safety app to surveil and control someone — which would make Agent Hita part of the harm rather than a solution to it.
We built a specific safeguard against this. Before Agent Hita analyzes any message, it checks whether the person being monitored is reaching out for help — searching for phrases like "am I being monitored," "I feel unsafe," or "coercive control." If it detects that, three things happen automatically: analysis stops, crisis resources and helpline numbers are shown privately to that person on the device, and no notification is sent to the guardian. The moment is never recorded anywhere.
Additionally, every 90 days, the app privately prompts the monitored person to confirm they still consent to monitoring. Their response is never shared with anyone.
Our commitment
Safety without surveillance
Agent Hita is designed around a clear belief: that protecting people from harm and respecting their privacy are not competing goals. Every design decision — reading the screen rather than intercepting the network, running AI on the device rather than the cloud, sending categories rather than content, protecting the monitored person from coercive misuse — reflects that belief.
Because privacy shouldn't require blind trust, Agent Hita's source code is publicly available. Anyone — researchers, journalists, parents, or security experts — can read the code and verify that it does exactly what we say. No hidden data collection. No backdoors. Free for individual use; commercial use requires a license. View the source code on GitHub →
