LUCID first tells the user they do not need to reply, pay, or keep the secret alone.
Agent workflow
Calm first, analyze second, act only with the user.
LUCID is designed around the moment when a scammer tries to make searching or telling someone feel dangerous.
The user uploads a screenshot, pastes text, or adds a call transcript. LUCID never monitors chats silently.
Google Cloud Gemini extracts visible text, threats, deadlines, money requests, and secrecy pressure.
The agent checks whether fear, authority, isolation, urgency, and payment demands combine.
Safe replies, evidence summaries, and verification steps stay under user control.
