According to the developer, the idea to create such a bot powered by artificial intelligence came to him during a conversation with phone scammers. He kept them on the line for 40 minutes, the attackers being restrained and patient, they tried to get their way but were unsuccessful.
Then Kaafar decided to automate the process of communicating with scammers, and then Apate was created. The bot was trained on the basis of transcripts of conversations with scammers, correspondence on social networks and e-mail. Apate was tested on real conversations with criminals.
