Zotniq
Zotniq provides a real-time AI governance platform that enforces security policies on every prompt, tool call, and attachment across browser-based AI, native desktop apps, and coding assistants. A lightweight endpoint agent for macOS and Windows inspects data before it leaves the device, applying plain-language allow, mask, or block rules in single-digit milliseconds. The platform covers known tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Copilot, plus shadow AI, with no per-tool configuration required.

Problem
Enterprises increasingly rely on a wide range of AI tools—from browser-based assistants like ChatGPT and Claude to desktop apps and coding assistants—creating a sprawling attack surface where sensitive data can be exposed in prompts, attachments, and code snippets. Traditional network proxies cannot see inside native applications or encrypted browser sessions, leaving security and compliance teams blind to unauthorized "shadow AI" usage and data exfiltration risks.
Solution
Zotniq provides a real-time AI governance platform that enforces policies on every AI interaction across an organization, directly from the endpoint. A lightweight agent installs on macOS and Windows laptops, intercepts every prompt, tool call, and attachment before it leaves the device, and applies plain-language rules—allowing, masking, or blocking actions in single-digit milliseconds. The platform covers known AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Cursor, and more) as well as shadow AI, requires no per-tool configuration, and logs every session with full audit details. Zotniq also offers an SDK that acts as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI and Anthropic clients, and a network-layer alternative for enterprises that prefer not to deploy endpoint agents.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security, compliance, and IT teams at enterprises that need to govern employee use of AI tools across laptops, ensuring data protection and regulatory compliance without disrupting workflows.
Features
- On-device agent for macOS and Windows that inspects every prompt and attachment before it leaves the machine, covering browser-based AI, native desktop apps, and coding assistants
- Plain-language policy engine with single-digit-millisecond enforcement decisions, supporting allow, mask, and block actions per data type, team, and tool
- Automatic secret redaction for coding workflows—keys, connection strings, and tokens are masked before being sent to AI models
- Unified policy application across all AI tools with no per-tool configuration; rules can be scoped by team, repository, and AI destination
- Comprehensive audit logging of every session—prompt, data type, decision, and rule—stored with Zotniq or streamed to the enterprise SIEM
- SDK drop-in replacement for OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, enabling governance in three lines of code
