01 / THE NEW PROBLEM

The problem isn’t spam.
It’s zero-cost sincerity.

Thoughtful writing used to signal thoughtful effort. Now a perfect, personal-sounding introduction can be generated—and followed up—at industrial scale.

Your inbox can no longer tell the difference between someone who spent ten minutes thinking and someone who spent ten seconds prompting.

04 / TRUST, WITHOUT THE THEATER

Not a magic
“human detector.”

Deepfakes will evolve. So will automation. We make a narrower, more useful promise: this message carries layered evidence of fresh, deliberate, recipient-specific effort.

This message was captured live, created for you, passed a human-presence challenge, and was sent from an authenticated account.

01

Fresh Capture

Recorded inside Human Inbox. No uploads, camera-roll video, or editing.

02

Recipient-Bound

The prompt is generated after capture begins, for one recipient, and expires quickly.

03

Authenticated Sender

The send action is tied to an account, device, history, and optional company verification.

04

Reputation & Limits

New-recipient limits and sender reputation make thoughtful outreach easy and blasting expensive.

05 / THE PRINCIPLE
“Make unknown senders spend the one resource automation can’t manufacture cheaply: their time.

Human presence alone does not stop human spam. Scarcity does the rest: strict new-recipient limits, account history, accept rates, reports, and optional organization verification.

06 / QUESTIONS

The honest answers.

Does a video prove someone is human?

Not perfectly—and we do not claim that it does. Human Inbox provides evidence of fresh live capture, a recipient-specific challenge, and an authenticated sender. It is a proof-of-effort system, not a magic human detector.

Why not just use a better spam filter?

Text filtering is an arms race. Human Inbox changes the economics before a message reaches you: every unknown sender must spend real time making one message for one recipient.

Can senders type anything?

They can choose a fixed reason for contacting you, but cannot type a free-form message body. Searchable captions, a transcript, and a short summary are generated from the recording and cannot be edited by the sender.

What happens after I accept someone?

The strict gate is for first contact. Once you accept a sender, you can move the conversation to a less restrictive channel for links, documents, and detailed follow-up.

How do you handle privacy and abuse?

Previews stay muted and can be blurred, downloads are off by default, and recipients can block or report immediately. The product is designed around short retention, secure playback, and deletion controls—not persistent face matching.

Is recording accessible?

It must be. The product supports captions, sign language, gesture-based prompts, screen-reader-friendly controls, and an accessible voice-only mode with additional signals. Spoken phrases are not the only challenge format.
