澳大利亚初创公司Apate.ai开发了一套独特的AI代理系统，通过让AI冒充受害者与诈骗分子互动来收集欺诈情报。1该公司已部署数千个AI代理在电话、短信、邮件和社交媒体上与诈骗分子对话，迄今在250万次对话中浪费诈骗分子共17年时间。1通过这一方式，Apate帮助客户获取了诈骗分子的银行账户、加密钱包等关键信息。1
Apate的客户包括澳大利亚联邦银行和TPG电信等主要机构。1其中澳大利亚联邦银行报告的欺诈损失下降了76%，1而TPG电信已将590000通来电转接到Apate的AI代理处理。1此外，某澳大利亚银行利用Apate的外呼代理中断了22个诈骗活动。1
该初创公司于2024年成立，基于麦考瑞大学的研究基础。1在2025年8月，Apate融资815万美元，总融资额接近1000万美元。1公司计划利用这些资金用于产品开发和国际扩张，包括在伦敦开设办公室并扩大美国业务。1
Australian startup Apate.ai has developed an artificial intelligence system that sends AI agents undercover to interact with scammers, gathering fraud intelligence while wasting the criminals' time.1 The company deploys thousands of AI agents across phone calls, text messages, email, and social media to engage with fraudsters.1 Through 2.5 million conversations, these agents have consumed 17 years of scammers' time while extracting valuable information including bank accounts and cryptocurrency wallet details.1
The startup's approach has demonstrated measurable impact with major Australian clients. Commonwealth Bank of Australia reported a 76% decline in fraud losses.1 Telecommunications provider TPG has redirected 590,000 incoming calls to Apate's agents, and another Australian bank used the company's outbound agents to disrupt 22 separate scam operations.1 The broader context underscores the scale of digital fraud: the FBI received over 22,000 AI-related crime complaints in 2025, resulting in approximately $893 million in losses.1
Apate.ai, founded in 2024 based on research from Macquarie University, has secured significant backing for expansion.1 The company raised $8.15 million in seed funding in August 2025, bringing its total funding close to $10 million.1 Plans include opening an office in London and expanding operations in the United States.1
