TLDR: Outtake’s AI agents, built with OpenAI’s GPT-4o and o3, are transforming cybersecurity by automating the detection and remediation of attacks in a matter of hours, significantly reducing response times and enhancing threat coverage.
In a significant leap forward for cybersecurity, Outtake has unveiled its advanced AI agents, powered by OpenAI’s cutting-edge GPT-4o and o3 models, capable of resolving sophisticated cyberattacks in mere hours. This innovation marks a pivotal shift from traditional, often slow and inconsistent, manual review processes to an automated, always-on defense system.
As digital threats grow increasingly complex and targeted, enterprise security teams face immense pressure to respond to a higher frequency of alerts. Conventional solutions frequently depend on third-party contractors for manual content review, a method that is not only time-consuming and expensive but also prone to inconsistencies. Outtake addresses these challenges by deploying AI agents that continuously scan millions of digital touchpoints—including webpages, app store listings, and advertisements—every minute. This constant vigilance allows the system to construct a comprehensive map of trustworthy and suspicious entities.
According to Alex Dhillon, Founder and CEO of Outtake, “Security threats now mutate every hour, and OpenAI’s models make it possible for our defense to move just as fast. The models make it possible to build and automate parts of this workflow that weren’t feasible before this generation of agentic AI.” This highlights the critical role of advanced AI in keeping pace with rapidly evolving cyber threats.
At the core of Outtake’s platform is a system of customizable AI agents designed to investigate digital threats and execute enforcement decisions, all orchestrated by GPT-4.1 and OpenAI o3. Customers can configure these agents using natural language, setting parameters such as verified whitelists, brand guidelines, intellectual property policies, and enforcement preferences. Once deployed, the agents autonomously crawl various surfaces, including app stores, websites, and social media platforms, to collect and analyze threat signals. The use of GPT-4.1, with its multimodal input capabilities, enables the detection of signals even when embedded within images or videos.
Key features of Outtake’s AI agents include the ability to classify illicit activities like phishing, impersonation, and copyright infringement, and to determine necessary actions. They can link disparate elements across platforms to detect imposter domains, fake applications, and fraudulent social media accounts, even when threats are dispersed and hidden. The system also allows for adjustable decision-making logic, enabling intervention in edge cases and the invalidation of decisions. Furthermore, the agents learn from customer feedback in real-time, adapting to rule changes and new threats without requiring retraining or redevelopment.
One of the most impactful outcomes of Outtake’s technology is the drastic reduction in threat takedown timelines, from an average of 60 days to just a few hours. This acceleration is attributed to the AI agent handling the investigative ‘grunt work,’ thereby freeing human analysts to concentrate on final reviews and emerging threats. This efficiency has already helped enterprise customers prevent millions in potential fraud losses.

This development is particularly timely as threat actors increasingly leverage AI in their cyberattacks, creating more evasive, adaptive, and efficient malicious code. As noted by OpenAI, AI-powered attacks are becoming more scalable and harder to detect. Outtake’s solution offers a robust countermeasure, providing security teams with the ability to seamlessly discover and address unknown and time-sensitive threats, effectively combating AI with AI.
