For walking alone
An extra set of ears when you’re walking alone.
Start Walk Home Mode when you set off, then put your phone away. AI Witness listens for signs a situation may be escalating and can preserve what happened and alert someone you trust—even if you can’t reach your phone.

Shown: the intended workflow. AI Witness is in development, and contact escalation is not yet live.
The 3-minute buffer
It doesn’t start three minutes too late.
During a session, AI Witness maintains a rolling 3-minute audio buffer. If a potential incident is detected, it preserves those preceding minutes and continues recording — so you have the context that led up to the moment.
Rolling 3-minute buffer
Older audio is continuously overwritten. No incident? Audio is discarded.
Incident audio preserved until you decide what to do with it.
Why not just a panic button?
Keys between your knuckles is not a safety system.
The advice has always been the same: stay alert, hold your phone, be ready to press something. It puts the entire burden on you, in the exact moment you have the least capacity to carry it.
- A phone held out as a deterrent is also a phone that can be taken.
- Walking with a screen lit is walking with your attention somewhere else.
- If someone closes distance fast, there is no unlock-and-tap window.
Privacy and control
You decide what gets kept.
You decide when listening starts
AI Witness only listens after you deliberately start a session. End the session and monitoring ends.
Only incidents are saved
Audio that is not associated with a potential incident is automatically discarded. If AI Witness detects a potential incident, the relevant audio — including the preceding 3-minute buffer — is preserved until you decide what to do with it.
You’re in control
Review what an incident produced and decide whether to keep or delete it.

Questions
What people ask first.
Does it need signal the whole way?
The intended design does as much detection on your device as possible, so a weak patch of signal does not mean the session simply stops working. Alerting someone does require connectivity, and we will be specific about those limits before launch.
Is AI Witness available today?
Not yet. AI Witness is in active development. Joining now reserves your free founding-user access. We will email you when builds are ready to test.
Does it call the police for me?
No. AI Witness does not contact emergency services on your behalf. It is designed to initiate a safety workflow — such as alerting the contacts you have chosen and preserving relevant context — so a person you trust can decide what happens next.
Is my phone always listening?
No. Nothing is monitored until you deliberately start a session, and monitoring stops when you end it. AI Witness is not designed to run in the background of your everyday life.
What happens to the audio?
The intended architecture keeps a short, rolling window of recent audio for detection rather than permanently storing everything you say. If nothing happens, that context is discarded as the session runs. If something does, a limited amount of surrounding context can be preserved so it is not lost.
Can it be wrong?
Yes. No detection system is perfect, and AI Witness cannot guarantee your safety or catch every emergency. Treat it as one layer alongside your own judgment and the people you trust — not a replacement for them.
What does the founding user offer cost?
Nothing. No credit card required. The first 100 users get free access when AI Witness launches. We will share what that includes before launch.
