We remove the risk
Big tech security expertise, made accessible to everyone. SamuAI helps you understand what your AI tools are really doing — before you install them.
Why This Exists
SamuAI was built by someone who lives this problem every day — a security professional at a major tech company whose job is evaluating new tooling, assessing third-party risk, and keeping up with a security landscape that's changing faster than ever, especially with the rise of AI.
The reality is: most people don't have a security team reviewing the tools they install. A browser extension can read every page you visit. An npm package can run code the moment you install it. An MCP server can access your files, databases, and credentials. Millions of people adopt these tools every day with no way to evaluate what they're actually giving up.
SamuAI exists to bring that same level of scrutiny — the kind that happens inside big tech security reviews — to everyone. Whether you're a developer building your stack, a small team picking tools, or just someone trying to use AI to improve your life, you deserve clarity on what you're installing.
What We Do
SamuAI scans AI tools and developer software to produce a clear, 0-10 risk score. We analyze:
- Permissions — what the tool can access on your system, browser, or network
- Data flows — where your data gets sent and whether it's encrypted
- Developer reputation — who built this, are they verified, do they have a track record
- Privacy compliance — does the privacy policy match what the tool actually does
What We Scan
Our Approach
We present facts and let you decide. SamuAI never tells you a tool is “safe” or “trustworthy.” Instead, we show you exactly what permissions it requests, what data it accesses, and how that compares to similar tools.
Our scoring is transparent — every score is broken down into four components so you can see exactly why a tool scored the way it did. We believe informed decisions are better than blind trust.
AI tools are transforming how people work, create, and live. That's a good thing — but only if you can adopt them with confidence. Our goal is to make the security landscape accessible, not intimidating. You shouldn't need a security background to know whether a tool is putting your data at risk.
We Scan Ourselves
The SamuAI browser extension is analyzed by our own scoring engine — and we publish the results. Our extension requires the managementpermission to audit your installed extensions, which our model flags as high-risk. That's the honest assessment, and we don't override it.
We believe a security platform that exempts itself from its own standards isn't worth using. If we ask you to evaluate what your tools are doing, we should be willing to show you exactly what ours is doing too.
