Ask HN: Would You Use an AI Chatbot to Assess Your Cybersecurity Risk?

1 levidurfee 0 5/13/2025, 3:23:00 PM

Hey HN, I’m Levi and I’m building a project called NerdSec. Our mission is to make cybersecurity easier and more accessible for everyone.

To help people understand their risk, we’re working on RiskBot—an AI chatbot designed to have a friendly conversation and assess your cybersecurity exposure. It explains, in simple terms, where you’re most vulnerable and offers tips, services, or products to help protect you.

Whether you're a solo dev, a small team, or just curious about your digital safety, RiskBot is here to help.

I’m hoping to learn if this is something people find valuable or interesting. Would love your thoughts, feedback, or questions.

Below is a link to a blog post explaining the concept.
