Is Clean before AI right for you?

A good fit for

Users reducing personally identifying information in prompts while retaining a local mapping for the returned answer.

Before you choose

Detection can miss unusual names, indirect identifiers or context that reveals someone’s identity. Inspect the Check row and cleaned output before sending. Reversible labels are pseudonymization rather than irreversible anonymization; the retained mapping remains sensitive.

Mask and inspect before sending the prompt

Load permitted text or a document, enable the local model if needed and review recognized values plus uncertain Check-row items. Inspect the full cleaned result for indirect identifiers before copying it to an assistant. Paste the answer back only when restoring names is appropriate.

Local mapping and export handoff

The vendor offers both web tool and extension free without an account. The model runs on-device but the web tool downloads its weights initially. Protect any saved label mapping and inspect redacted exports before sharing; a vendor detection score is not a guarantee that all personal data has been removed.
