AI assistant guides

Ask your AI assistant about card skimmers.

SkimGuard can plug into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini. Then you can ask things like "has anyone reported a skimmer at the Shell on Riverside?" and get an answer from real SkimGuard checks, not a guess.

Two things every answer should say

Honest about what it knows.

"No data" means unknown, not safe

SkimGuard only knows about a place once someone has checked it there. Lots of places haven't been checked yet. A quiet answer never means a place is clear.

"Clear" is a good sign, not a guarantee

SkimGuard finds skimmers that send a wireless signal. It can't find ones that don't, like some fake card slots. A quick look and tug at the reader still matters.

If your assistant quotes SkimGuard, it should include this note too. SkimGuard sends it with every answer.

Ready in about two minutes.

Add SkimGuard to your assistant, then ask it to check a place. No sign-up for the free lookups.
