Tinkoff launched a humanoid factoryrobots that distract scammers from scamming people by keeping them on the phone line for as long as possible. Tinkoff is also opening a collection of scripts and replicas for the Robot Factory in order to, together with users, create an entire army of the most realistic characters who can effectively resist telephone scammers.

Robot Factory of Defender Oleg - a new project,which has been piloted at Tinkoff since April 2023. It is available to subscribers of any Russian mobile operators, regardless of whether they are clients of the Tinkoff ecosystem. The main thing is that they have a telephone secretary, Defender Oleg, connected.

Сейчас новый навык доступен около 500 тыс. пользователям Защитника Олега, в ближайший месяц возможность подключения появится у всех пользователей.


Для создания серии персонажей привлекались psychologists and anti-fraud experts who helped develop the various interlocutor archetypes that scammers are used to. Also, when developing scenarios for responding to scammers, their typical communication scripts with victims were taken into account.

The longer an attacker hangs on the line, the fewer potential victims he manages to call per day. This allows us to reduce the number of successful attacks on Russian residents.


Average duration of robot conversations withby scammers is 2-4 minutes, individual calls can last over 10 minutes. Conversations between scammers and humanoid prototypes of Oleg also allow them to collect new schemes and tricks of attackers to protect subscribers and update the database of fraudulent phone numbers. .

Tinkoff employees, as well as professional announcers Pyotr Glanz (the voice of Deadpool in the official dub) and actress Daria Blokhina, took part in recording the replicas of humanoid robots.
