AGI-level threats • Free defense • Your systems only

The defender's window is closing. We're holding it open.

Attackers already use free AI to draft phishing at scale, clone voices from 3 seconds of audio, and triage who’s softest. Every case on this board hands you a real, free AI capability of your own — not a lecture — and never touches anyone else’s accounts.

Autumn — golden hour and paperwork

Autumn on the board

Change of season changes the work: heating and winter travel, renewals and enrolment windows, insurance and certification paperwork. The showcases below lead with the cases that move with the calendar.

Season is read from your calendar date, not from metadata — the cases never change with it.

DEFENDER'S WINDOW
OpenAI's research flags this as the gap between AI-accelerated attacks and AI-accelerated defense. We exist to close it. Source: openai.com/index/the-defenders-window

Where the cases land

Exact catalog counts. Bar length is relative to the largest category, not a risk score.

What protection costs — and what the free path covers

Every figure here is counted from metadata.json when this page loads: the paid alternative each case prices, what it cites as the cost, and the documented $0 path beside it. Nothing on this panel is typed in by hand. This sum is not a bill you owe.

Sources and dates: each case carries its own cited price and retrieval date in metadata.json under cost_model; the research file behind the price bands is doc/research/affordability-research-2026-10-03.md.

Reading the catalog…

Every card is a companion app already shipped in this repository — the card links are generated from metadata.json, so a card can never point at an app the catalog does not list. Preview images are decorative mockups, not screenshots or product claims.

01 — READRead the case + its source.

Each case should cite a dated source beside the claim. Withdrawn citations say so. Check the source.

02 — RUNRun the free AI prompt.

Copy-paste prompt for a named free tool — that's the leverage.

03 — ACTAct on your own result.

Every centerpiece analyzes only your accounts, devices, systems.

04 — TRACKOpen the tool if worth tracking.

Free check is complete alone; paid app only where ongoing monitoring pays.
