Outtake’s agents resolve cybersecurity attacks in hours with OpenAI

As digital threats become more sophisticated and targeted, enterprise security teams are under pressure to respond to more alerts at a higher frequency.

Most alternative solutions still rely on third-party contractors to manually review flagged content—a process that can be slow, inconsistent, and expensive. Outtake(opens in a new window) reimagines that system with always-on AI agents that scan millions of surface areas, such as webpages, app store listings, and ads, per minute, building a map of trustworthy and suspicious entities. That map helps security teams understand what’s happening, who’s behind it, and route resolution recommendations for expert review in a matter of hours.

Built with GPT‑4o and OpenAI o3, Outtake’s system offers 24/7 threat coverage with no ticket backlogs, enabling cybersecurity teams to stay ahead of fast-changing threats with accuracy and speed.

“Security threats now mutate every hour, and OpenAI’s models make it possible for our defense to move just as fast,” says Alex Dhillon, Founder and CEO of Outtake. “The models make it possible to build and automate parts of this workflow that weren’t feasible before this generation of agentic AI.”

Detecting and classifying attacks faster with GPT‑4.1 and OpenAI o3

At the core of Outtake’s platform is a system of customizable AI agents designed to investigate digital threats and carry out enforcement decisions, all orchestrated by GPT‑4.1 and OpenAI o3. Customers configure verified whitelists, brand guidelines, intellectual property policies, and enforcement preferences, then train the agent using natural language.

Once deployed, the agents continuously crawl surfaces such as app stores, websites, social platforms, and ads to collect and interpret raw signals at scale.

GPT‑4.1 processes multimodal inputs like screenshots, transcripts, and embedded visuals, surfacing potential threats even when signals are buried inside images or videos.

Classifying risk with best-fit models

Each finding is scored for severity. GPT‑4.1 classifies the abuse type, such as phishing, impersonation, or copyright violation, and determines whether the system should take action.

OpenAI o3 connects the dots across platforms to reveal larger patterns, like when a spoofed domain, a lookalike app, and a fake social account all point to the same abuse campaign. Outtake is building toward higher-order reasoning that helps agents detect coordinated threats that might otherwise go undetected in isolation.

Outtake customers stay in control of the decision-making logic. Agents follow predefined rules, but security and legal teams can intervene on edge cases or override decisions. And customer feedback can be incorporated in real time, allowing Outtake’s agents to adapt to new rules and threats without retraining or engineering changes.

Taking precise, quick action with function calling

Once a case meets enforcement criteria, function calling allows the agent to automatically compile the relevant evidence, draft and file a resolution notice. These actions are taken quickly and are logged and auditable, with outputs optimized to meet the compliance requirements of each platform.

Outtake has reduced takedown timelines from 60 days to just hours and helped enterprise customers avoid millions in fraud losses. This speed is possible because the AI agent handles the investigative grunt work, freeing analysts to focus on final reviews and new threats.
