Stop Leaking API Keys, Credentials, and Client Data into AI Models
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and GitHub Copilot are transformative for productivity, but pasting un-sanitized code, server logs or support tickets introduces severe security risks. Third-party AI platforms log input prompts for moderation, analytics or model training. An accidental paste containing an AWS access key, an OpenAI secret token or customer personal data can compromise cloud infrastructure or trigger heavy regulatory penalties under GDPR, CCPA or HIPAA.
The Autonom AI Prompt PII & Secret Sanitizer creates a secure air-gap between your raw workspace data and public AI endpoints. It detects, scrubs and masks sensitive credentials locally in your web browser before your prompt ever touches an external network.
Why Use a Local-First Sanitizer?
๐ 100% Client-Side Processing
Unlike standard online text formatters, your raw text never hits a server. All regular expressions and parsing algorithms execute entirely within your local browser memory.
โก Real-Time Auto-Redaction
Secrets are masked instantly as you type or paste. No waiting for server responses or handling page reloads.
๐ฏ Enterprise Custom Masking
Add proprietary client names, internal database hosts or confidential project codenames so company-specific data stays hidden.
๐ One-Click Export
Copy sanitized output straight to your clipboard or download a clean .txt file ready for immediate use in LLM context windows.
What Gets Automatically Redacted?
The multi-pattern detection engine continuously scans and neutralizes high-risk data vectors:
- API Keys & Secret Tokens: AWS Access Keys (
AKIA...), OpenAI API Keys (sk-proj-...), GitHub Personal Access Tokens (ghp_...), Stripe Secret Keys (sk_live_...), Slack webhooks, GCP keys, JWT auth tokens, Bearer tokens and RSA private keys. - Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Email addresses, international phone numbers and street addresses.
- Government & National IDs: US Social Security Numbers (SSN) and European personal identity numbers such as Swedish Personnummer.
- Financial Data: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover card numbers (validated with the Luhn algorithm to avoid false positives).
- Network Infrastructure & Credentials: IPv4/IPv6 addresses, database connection strings (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) and sensitive URL query parameters such as
?access_token=....
How to Sanitize Your Prompts in 3 Steps
- Paste Raw Data: Copy your unformatted code, terminal output, customer support log or document into the input field above.
- Configure Detection Rules: Toggle specific scanning rules on or off, and enter any custom client names or proprietary terms into the Custom Terms box.
- Copy & Paste Safely: Click Copy Clean Text, then safely paste the result into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text uploaded to any external server?
No. Autonom operates on a zero-telemetry, local-first architecture. The sanitization logic runs via JavaScript inside your web browser. Your text, API keys and private data never cross an internet connection.
Why shouldn’t I use free online text formatters to clean logs?
Most free online formatters send your text to back-end servers for processing. If you paste an API key or customer email into a server-based tool, you have already leaked that sensitive data to a third-party database before it ever reaches ChatGPT.
Does this tool change my code syntax?
No. Code structures, indentation, variable logic and formatting remain identical. Only sensitive values (strings, tokens, keys) are replaced with clear placeholders like [OPENAI_KEY_REDACTED] or [EMAIL_REDACTED], preserving the context your AI model needs to answer your query.
