This AI-Powered Portable Device Claims to Detect Microphones and Jam Audio Recordings

8:50 PM IST · March 6, 2026

A San Francisco-based startup is making some serious claims about its yet-to-be-released artificial intelligence (AI) audio jamming device. Dubbed Deveillance, the company is said to have developed a portable table-top anti-surveillance device called Spectre I, which can stop nearby microphones from recording audio. The startup claims that it achieves this by using power-efficient omnidirectional signals that are inaudible but can distort the audio recorded by devices within its range. Spectre I is currently available for pre-order, with shipping expected to start later this year.
