AI call screening

AI call screening for the calls you'dnever pick up.

Lumen answers unknown numbers, refuses scams, and only rings you for real callers.

An animated example: Lumen answers an unknown number, asks who is calling, refuses a caller claiming to be a bank, and ends the call without passing on any details.

How Lumen screens a call.

01

Sales calls never ring

02

Fake banks get refused

03

Real callers ring through

The limitsFixed

What Lumen will never do.

  • Listen to calls you answer yourself
  • Give out your number, address or email
  • Read back a code or card number, to anyone
  • Decide anything beyond whether to ring you

Screening uses automated analysis and will not catch every scam. Review transcripts and alerts before acting on them.

FAQ

Call screening, answered

No. Contacts ring straight through; screening only meets unknown and unsaved numbers.

It doesn't have to: Lumen never reads out a one-time code, card number or address to an inbound caller, whoever they claim to be. A genuine bank can confirm anything in its app.

Real callers answer one question and get put through while still on the line. You can take over any screened call with one tap.
