ScamSim

Agentic Voice and Email Cyber Resilience Training Platform

Group Name: Syntax Error

Inspiration

The growing number of phishing and voice scams shows that traditional cybersecurity awareness training is no longer enough. We were motivated to design a solution that allows employees to safely practise responding to realistic scam situations before encountering them in real life.

What it does

ScamSim is a proposed cyber resilience training platform that simulates realistic email and voice scam scenarios. It helps employees practise identifying threats and responding correctly under pressure in a controlled environment, turning awareness into hands-on preparedness.

How we plan to build it

We plan to develop a Python-based desktop application using:

• Pygame for the visual interface (mandatory)
  
• LangChain for agent orchestration and AI workflows
  
• Azure OpenAI via LangChain for text generation and evaluation
  
• Pydantic to structure and validate agent state and responses
  
• Beautiful Soup to scrape real-world scam data for scenario grounding
  
• ElevenLabs for realistic voice scam simulation
  

This stack ensures ScamSim is interactive, agent-driven, and grounded in real-world scams.

Challenges we expect to face

We anticipate challenges in designing convincing voice scam interactions, managing multi-step agent workflows, and balancing realism with safe and ethical training practices.

Accomplishments we aim to achieve

Our goal is to produce a working prototype that demonstrates agent-driven scam simulations across email and voice channels, with adaptive difficulty and actionable feedback for learning.

What we expect to learn

Through this project, we aim to gain hands-on experience in agentic AI design, multi-modal interaction systems, and creating practical cybersecurity training tools for real-world organisational use.

What’s next for Syntax Error

Next, we plan to refine scenario realism, expand adaptive difficulty levels, and explore deployment options for organisational cybersecurity training programmes.
