AgentCloak launches free AI prompt redaction extension
AgentCloak is a free browser extension designed to protect sensitive data when interacting with AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude. Using an on-device neural model, the extension replaces detected PII with synthetic placeholders before sending prompts and automatically restores original values locally in the generated response.
Client-side pseudonymization is the most practical defense against accidental prompt leaks to public LLMs, though relying on on-device NER can foster a false sense of complete data security.
- –Round-trip token replacement preserves conversational context for the model while delivering clear, usable outputs back to the end user.
- –The browser extension format offers zero-friction protection for non-technical personnel handling support tickets, customer communications, and system logs.
- –Local NER models remain susceptible to false negatives, especially with unconventional PII formats, niche identifiers, or multilingual text.
- –Enterprises will still require centralized gateway monitoring because client-side redaction cannot reliably protect unstructured intellectual property or proprietary business logic.
