ManaProtect

Indigenous-led AI scam protection for our communities

ManaProtect™ is an indigenous-led AI scam protection platform created to safeguard Māori and Pacific whānau, aiga, and communities from rapidly evolving digital scams. Operated by ManaProtect Limited and powered by JamesPratt.com's technology, AI infrastructure, and strategic support, it provides a culturally grounded, trusted way to stay safe online and offline.​

What’s in it for you?

  • Real-Time Scam Protection: Have texts, emails, links, and calls scanned for scam patterns targeting Aotearoa and the Pacific, with clear “safe or suspicious” guidance for everyday whānau use.​

  • Culturally-Aware Design: Access protection built around kaitiakitanga, collective care, and indigenous values - designed with and for Māori and Pacific communities, not copied from overseas banking tools.​

  • Community-Powered Alerts: Benefit from shared scam reports and alerts from trusted community sources such as marae, churches, and local organisations, helping protect those most at risk.​

Key Benefits of the Partnership

  • Trusted Infrastructure: JamesPratt.com provides the secure platforms, AI systems, and operational backbone so ManaProtect can focus on community protection and impact.​

  • Indigenous Leadership: Strategy and direction are guided by Māori and Pacific leaders and advisors, ensuring ManaProtect reflects lived reality and community priorities.​

  • Scalable Impact: A single, shared technology stack allows ManaProtect to expand across Aotearoa and into wider Pacific and indigenous communities without sacrificing cultural integrity.​
