What is Sinaptic.AI?

Sinaptic.AI is a data protection browser extension designed to prevent accidental leakage of sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) to artificial intelligence services. It acts as a security layer between users and popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The tool scans user input in real-time before it leaves the browser, intercepting and blocking any detected sensitive data from being transmitted to external AI services. Built with a privacy-first architecture, all processing occurs locally on the user's device, ensuring no sensitive data is ever sent to Sinaptic.AI's servers. It is positioned as a core component of the M3 Framework for secure AI adoption and is developed by compliance experts with certifications in areas like GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001.

Main Features

1. Real-time Detection: Scans user input instantly using a hybrid engine combining Regex and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to detect credit cards, emails, API keys, and other sensitive data.

2. Smart Validation: Reduces false positives using advanced logic like the Luhn algorithm for credit cards and context awareness to distinguish real PII/PHI from random text or numbers.

3. Network Interception: Injects into the page context to intercept network requests, blocking sensitive data transmission at its source before it reaches AI services.

4. Visual Feedback: Highlights detected sensitive data directly in the text input area with non-intrusive wavy underlines and tooltips, providing real-time user education.

5. Custom Rules: Allows configuration of exclusion rules for specific URLs or values. Users can enable 'Monitor All' mode or whitelist trusted domains for flexible control.

6. Privacy-First Processing: All detection and analysis logic runs client-side within the browser. No user data is sent to external servers, and logs are stored locally with hashed values for security.

7. Enterprise Management: For business plans, offers centralized policy management, SIEM integration, SSO, silent installation, and an incident reporting dashboard.

Use Cases

1. Enterprise Security: For CISOs and compliance teams to prevent data leaks via employee use of generative AI tools, ensuring adherence to regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO standards.

2. Developer Safety: Developers and engineers can safely use AI coding assistants without accidentally exposing API keys, credentials, or proprietary code in their prompts.

3. Healthcare Compliance: Healthcare professionals and organizations can interact with AI tools for research or administrative tasks while automatically safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI).

4. Financial Services: Financial institutions and employees can utilize AI for analysis or customer service ideation while preventing the transmission of credit card numbers or account details.

5. General Office Use: Any employee in a corporate environment can use ChatGPT or similar tools for productivity tasks with an automated safety net against sharing sensitive company or customer data.

6. Freelancer and Consultant Work: Independent professionals handling client data can add a layer of security to their AI-aided workflow, protecting client confidentiality.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: How does Sinaptic.AI protect my privacy?

A: All processing happens locally on your device. No user data, prompts, or detected PII/PHI is ever sent to our servers.

2. Q: What types of sensitive data does it detect?

A: It detects credit card numbers, email addresses, API keys, and other forms of PII and PHI using a combination of Regex patterns and intelligent NLP.

3. Q: Can I customize what gets blocked?

A: Yes, you can configure custom exclusion rules for specific websites or values and choose between monitoring all sites or whitelisting trusted domains.

4. Q: Does it work with all AI tools?

A: It is designed to work with major AI services like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and can monitor activity across any website.

5. Q: What is the M3 Framework?

A: The M3 Framework is a methodology for secure AI adoption. Sinaptic.AI is built as a core component to address the 'Model' and 'Mechanism' layers of this framework.
