Cloaks AI
Cloaks AI offers a desktop privacy tool that runs a local AI model to generate synthetic browsing personas, which then search the web, click ads, and chat with AI assistants to poison the data profiles data brokers and ad networks build on individuals. The software operates through the user's own browser or a bundled Firefox copy, creating fictional activity that drowns out real user data without hiding IP addresses or encrypting traffic. It is designed for individuals seeking to reclaim their digital identity from pervasive tracking.

Problem
Organizations and individuals are increasingly profiled by data brokers, ad networks, and governments based on their online activity. A handful of searches is enough to build a detailed profile, and traditional tools like VPNs only hide location, not identity, leaving users exposed to invasive tracking and data exploitation.
Solution
Cloaks AI provides a desktop application that runs a local AI model to generate synthetic personas—fictional individuals with coherent life stories—and uses them to conduct web searches, fill shopping carts, click ads, and interact with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. This activity is executed through the user's own browser or a bundled Firefox copy, poisoning the data profile associated with the user's name until it becomes mostly fiction. The system operates continuously in the background, requiring no user intervention, and does not hide IP addresses or encrypt traffic, focusing solely on polluting the data record rather than masking network activity.
Target Audience
Primary users are privacy-conscious individuals—including journalists, activists, and everyday internet users—who want to protect their personal data from being collected and monetized by data brokers, ad networks, and government surveillance systems.
Features
- Local AI model generates detailed synthetic personas with life histories that explain their browsing behavior
- Automated execution of searches, ad clicks, shopping cart additions, and AI chatbot conversations to create realistic noise
- Operates through the user's existing Chrome browser or a bundled Firefox instance, with no additional hardware required
- Continuous background operation that works all day without user input
- Optional cloud inference mode available with a license key, while the core model runs entirely on the user's machine
- Explicitly does not hide IP addresses or encrypt traffic, positioning itself as a data-poisoning tool rather than a network anonymizer
