Developed by British phone company Virgin Media O2, Daisy is a cutting-edge tool designed to outsmart scammers by wasting their time. She holds lifelike conversations with fraudsters, keeping them on the line for up to 40 minutes, preventing them from targeting others.

Daisy is powered by a blend of advanced AI models that work seamlessly in real time. She transcribes scam calls into text, generates responses using a custom language model enhanced with a warm and relatable "grandmotherly" personality, and delivers her replies through a sophisticated text-to-speech system. The result? A human-like conversation that frustrates scammers while protecting potential victims.

With an average of 2.9 billion spam calls made in the U.S. each month, according to True Caller, Daisy’s impact could be huge. Not only is she saving time for scam targets, but she’s also providing a clever, tech-driven way to disrupt fraudulent schemes
