Is it safe to put company code into Cursor or Copilot?

Not by default. Whatever you paste or open gets sent to the AI provider's servers, including secrets and customer data. Emil sits between your tools and the model and catches API keys, credentials, customer data, and source code before they ever leave.

Can AI coding tools see my API keys and .env files?

Yes, whenever they end up in the files or prompts you send, which is the most common way secrets leak. Emil detects keys, tokens, passwords, and .env values and redacts them before the prompt reaches the model.

Does Emil slow down my AI?

No. Emil screens in the moment and hands the model a clean prompt, so you get the same responses at the same speed.

Does Emil store my prompts or my code?

No. Emil processes your text in memory and keeps only a short screening record (the decision, risk score, and a redacted preview), never the full content. Classification runs on Emil's own infrastructure, is never sent to a third-party model, and is never used for training.

Which tools does Emil work with?

Anything OpenAI-compatible: Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Lovable, v0, ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, and self-hosted models. Point your tool at Emil instead of the provider, or use the browser extension if you don't write code.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

No. Developers change one line of config (the base URL). Everyone else uses the one-click browser extension that screens prompts before they reach the AI.

Financial Services

AI for financial services that protects customers and your license

Emil does double duty: it keeps account and routing numbers out of AI prompts, and stops a customer-facing AI from generating unlicensed financial advice in its responses.

Protect your team For developers

The problem

Employees paste customer financials into AI tools, exposing account numbers and SSNs.
A customer-facing AI assistant can generate unlicensed or non-compliant financial advice.
Regulators expect controls over both data handling and AI output — most firms have neither.

What Emil catches for financial services

Account, routing, and card numbers
SSNs and TINs
Unlicensed financial-advice language in AI output
Prompt-injection attempts against customer bots

Regulations this maps to

GLBA Safeguards Rule
SEC / FINRA communications rules
CCPA / GDPR

A content filter reduces regulatory risk but isn't compliance on its own. Review presets with counsel.

Questions

Can Emil stop our AI from giving financial advice?

Yes. Emil screens the AI's responses, not just user prompts. A custom policy can block or flag unlicensed advice, off-product claims, or non-compliant language before the answer reaches the customer.

How does it protect customer data?

Emil detects and redacts account/routing/card numbers and SSNs in prompts before they reach an AI model, and keeps only metadata — never the financial data.

Does it work for our in-house AI product?

Yes. Point your OpenAI-compatible client's base URL at Emil and every request and response is screened — one line of code, no SDK.

Can we prove the guardrails work?

Emil ships a red-team evaluation that scores your policy's catch rate across unsafe categories, so you have evidence for auditors and risk teams.
