The same fact appears everywhere.
Names, addresses and account references recur across pages, attachments and form fields.
Local PDF redaction
Redact PII in PDFs, locally.
Redacting PII in PDFs is repetitive, manual, and mundane. Redact AI scans documents on your device, shows every finding for review, and exports a flattened redacted copy.

The problem
PII redaction should not depend on perfect manual review.
Forms, claims, contracts, invoices, medical records, scanned documents and internal reports all repeat the same sensitive details. One missed instance is enough to make a PDF unsafe to share.
Manual markup is slow.
Long PDFs turn redaction into repetitive visual scanning, where fatigue creates misses.
Exports need to be flattened.
The final copy should hide the text visually and avoid leaving selectable text under bars.
Workflow
Scan, review, export.
The PDF redactor keeps the loop simple: choose documents, inspect local findings, keep safe values visible, and export a redacted copy.

Chat composer
Redact sensitive text before it reaches an AI chat.
Redact AI also works inside supported chat composers. Use the floating Redact button or keyboard shortcut to detect names, emails, phone numbers, account references and other sensitive details before you send text to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.

Windows application
A beta Windows app for faster OCR and the same review loop.
A Windows application is available in beta for teams that need faster OCR or heavier local document processing. It keeps the same redaction experience: scan documents, review findings, keep safe values visible, and export a redacted copy.

The detection schedule.
Each page is scanned by deterministic rules and the local model layer. Image-heavy pages are OCRed locally before detection.
