RedactPII offers an on‑device browser extension that intercepts text before it reaches AI chat tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity, automatically redacting personally identifiable information, API keys, and other secrets. Because the processing runs locally, no data ever leaves the user’s device, ensuring privacy while allowing seamless pasting. The service includes a free tier with three protected pastes per day and a lifetime “Founding Member” plan for $50 per year.

Problem
Employees frequently paste code, credentials, and personal data into AI chat tools, exposing sensitive information to external servers and increasing the risk of data breaches and compliance violations.
Solution
RedactPII provides an on‑device browser extension that intercepts paste events in supported AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity) and automatically redacts personally identifiable information, API keys, and other secrets before the data reaches the service. The detection runs locally using a second‑generation AI model, ensuring that no user content is transmitted to RedactPII’s servers. Users can operate the tool without an internet connection, and the extension maintains a local audit log of redacted pastes. A free tier offers three protected pastes per day, while a paid founding‑member plan unlocks unlimited redaction, full PII category coverage, and priority support.
Target Audience
Primary users are knowledge workers, developers, and security‑conscious employees who regularly interact with AI chat assistants in corporate environments.
