Announcing Privatemode: the AI service resolving your data privacy and security issues

What is Privatemode? 

Privatemode is an AI service similar to ChatGPT, but with one key difference: your data remains private. Using confidential computing, Privatemode ensures your data is encrypted before leaving your device, remaining protected even during AI processing. This guarantees that your personal information stays secure at all times, offering you peace of mind while engaging with cutting-edge AI. 

Privatemode is available in two forms: as a chat application and as an API. 

Privatemode chat app 

The Privatemode chat application is available for Windows and MacOS. After downloading, you can interact with the AI just like any other AI chat application. The AI model running on Privatemode is LlaMA Meta-Llama-3.3-70B, and Deepseek R1 is coming soon.  

With Privatemode, your prompts and responses are fully encrypted and inaccessible to others. 

This app is ideal for those who want to engage with the latest AI models without worrying about their data being accessed or used for training by the service provider. 

Privatemode API 

The Privatemode API is for those who prefer integrating AI into their own applications. It offers end-to-end encryption of your prompts and responses, ensuring maximum security and privacy. Whether strengthening an existing app or building something new, the API guarantees that your data is protected from start to finish. To know more about how the proxy configuration works, read the docs.

Why did we build Privatemode? 

Many AI services, like ChatGPT and Azure AI, lack the mechanisms to ensure full data security and privacy, additionally, your data and prompts could be used for training. As a result, sensitive data remains potentially vulnerable to leaks and attacks, both from insiders or external actors. This circumstance discourages businesses and individuals from sharing sensitive information with AI services. 

 
Many companies have banned services like ChatGPT for employees due to privacy concerns. While this decision might help mitigate risks, it also means the company misses out on the efficiency AI could bring. Meanwhile, employees often resort to using AI through personal devices in what’s known as "Shadow AI." This practice continues to expose sensitive data to the risk of leaks and breaches, making data security a persistent threat. 

What is confidential computing? 

Confidential computing is a technology that ensures data and code remain secure, even when processed on third-party infrastructure like the cloud. By isolating your data from the rest of the system and ensuring that data remains encrypted during processing in memory, confidential computing hardware implementations like AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX can ensure that only you have access to your data, even if the underlying system is compromised. Essentially, confidential computing creates a secure environment—like a vault—where your data and code are shielded from external access.
