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.

Secure ChatGPT

Use ChatGPT at work — without leaking client data

Emil's browser extension screens what your team types into ChatGPT, catching SSNs, secrets, and confidential content before the prompt ever reaches OpenAI's servers.

Protect your team For developers

The risk with ChatGPT

Staff paste client files into ChatGPT to summarize — sending that data to OpenAI.
Anything pasted into ChatGPT can land in logs you don't control.
You have no visibility into what's being shared or by whom.

What Emil catches in ChatGPT

SSNs (with or without dashes), emails, phone numbers, addresses
Account, routing, and credit card numbers
API keys, tokens, and other secrets
Confidential or privileged content via custom rules

How it works

Install the Emil extension — it activates on ChatGPT automatically
Prompts are screened in the browser, before they're sent
Sensitive spans are redacted or you're warned; metadata only is logged

Screening happens locally; only finding metadata (type + severity) is retained, never your content.

Questions

Is it safe to use ChatGPT with company data?

Only with a control in front of it. Without one, pasted data goes to OpenAI's servers. Emil screens the prompt in your browser and redacts sensitive content before it's sent, so client data stays in.

Does Emil work with ChatGPT and ChatGPT Enterprise?

Yes. Emil's extension runs on chatgpt.com and chat.openai.com regardless of plan, screening prompts before they're submitted.

Will my team notice it?

Only when it matters. Emil shows a quiet status while typing and steps in to warn or redact when it detects sensitive data — otherwise it stays out of the way.

Does Emil see my prompts?

It screens them locally and stores only finding metadata — type and severity — never the prompt text itself.
