Secure AI Privacy Proxy

As AI tools become ubiquitous, employees are frequently copy-pasting sensitive information—such as patient names, legal case details, or server credentials—into tools like ChatGPT to get work done faster. Most companies have no way to monitor or block this without banning AI entirely, which hurts productivity. In regulated industries (Legal, Finance, Healthcare), this 'Shadow AI' usage represents a massive liability risk.

• IT Managers: Who need to secure the company perimeter.
• Compliance Officers: Who need an audit trail showing that PII was not sent to third-party LLMs.
• Small Firm Partners: Who want the efficiency of AI but fear losing their license due to confidentiality breaches.

Multiple users in tech and AI-focused communities (e.g., Dan Martell's audience) specifically called out the 'privacy issue' as the main blocker for company adoption. The high engagement (likes) on these comments indicates that this isn't just a niche concern, but a widespread organizational barrier.

A Chrome Extension is the fastest path to value. It acts as a client-side filter. When a user is on a recognized AI site (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), the extension scans the text area. If it detects an email address, phone number, or name, it flags it. The user clicks 'Sanitize', and the extension replaces the data with tokens before the user hits 'Send'.

This is a classic 'Insurance' and 'Compliance' sale. The value proposition isn't 'more productivity' but 'avoidance of catastrophic loss'. For a law firm or clinic, $20/month per seat is a negligible cost compared to the risk of a HIPAA or GDPR violation.

Medium. While regex can handle simple PII, reliable detection requires local NLP (like using a small, client-side model or a private server-side NER model). The core challenge is maintaining the context of the AI conversation while data is redacted/restored.

• Enterprise DLP: High-end tools like Nightfall or Palo Alto Networks exist but are priced and built for the Fortune 500.
• Spreadsheets/Manual: Some firms use manual checklists to remind people to 'clean data', which is highly prone to human error.
• Custom Wrappers: Some companies build their own UI using the OpenAI API, but this is expensive and lacks the features of the native ChatGPT UI.

The best wedge is the Chrome Web Store, as it's the exact moment of friction. SEO around specific compliance keywords (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR) for AI will also drive high-intent traffic from managers looking for a solution to 'unblock' AI for their teams.

Reaching 100 subscribers is highly realistic. A single 20-person law firm would represent 20% of that goal. The target should be selling 'Team Plans' to the owners of these small businesses rather than individual users.
