- On-device model that runs locally in the background of Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls (no cloud upload) to flag synthetic faces and faceswaps in real time; built with Qualcomm hardware-optimization support.

- Real-time, on-device deepfake detection for live video calls, targeting HR/recruiting teams and high-value executives against video-interview and call-impersonation fraud; video detection is live now, voice detection is on the roadmap.
- distinctFrom
- Unlike cloud-based, post-hoc deepfake detectors (Reality Defender, Sensity AI) or audio-only liveness tools (Pindrop Pulse), Halo runs entirely on-device in the background of a live video call rather than analyzing an uploaded file after the fact.
- notes
- Access model unconfirmed: the site offers a 'Try Halo' / waitlist flow rather than published pricing, so 'paid' here is a provisional best guess pending confirmed pricing, not a sourced claim. Launched via Qualcomm partnership announced at Computex 2026 (~2026-06-23, per businesswire.com), before this catalogue's 2026-07-11 prior run date; included since not previously tracked.
