Confidential AI chat · Prompt anonymization

Use AI without submitting sensitive data to LLMs.

Hebed Chat anonymizes client names, addresses, IBANs, amounts and matter details before your prompt reaches ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot. Same chat experience you already use — with less exposure and a record of what almost got sent.

You use AI tools every day for drafting, research and review. No one is checking behind you.

Independent lawyers and consultants use ChatGPT, Copilot and Harvey for drafting and research every day — an environment where prompts often include information that would not be appropriate to share externally. Hebed Chat helps organizations maintain better control over what leaves their environment.

How it works

One extra step, invisible to your workflow.

You keep typing prompts the way you always have. Hebed does the anonymization in between — you never have to write a "safe" version by hand.

01

Write your prompt

Use Hebed Chat exactly like ChatGPT — drafting, summarizing, rewording, translating.

02

Entities are detected

Client names, addresses, IBANs, amounts and matter details are flagged in real time, before anything is sent.

03

Prompt is anonymized

Sensitive elements are replaced with safe placeholders. Only the anonymized version reaches the model.

04

Risk is logged

Every detection is categorized, giving you visibility into what your team almost exposed — and how often.

Example — private client / wealth matter
"Reword this note for Jean Martin regarding the restructuring of his holding, assets of CHF 12.4M, and beneficiaries Marie and Luc Martin."
Flagged. Three personal names and one financial amount detected.
Example — corporate / M&A
"Prepare a summary of the term sheet between Acme SA and Beta Holding, purchase price CHF 3.2M, earn-out CHF 750k, CEO Pierre Blanc."
Flagged. Two company names, two amounts and one personal name detected.

Sample prompts above are synthetic and for demonstration only.

What gets anonymized

Built to catch the details that matter most in legal work.

Hebed's detection engine is built around entity-recognition and anonymization techniques adapted for legal and professional-services content, not generic web text.

Client & personal names
Physical addresses
IBANs & bank details
Financial amounts
Company & entity names
Matter & case-specific details

Built on regulation, not a guess

The detection rules are built around the personal-data categories defined in PII regulation such as GDPR and the Swiss nLPD, then extended with legal-specific patterns for client names, matter references and case facts — rather than a generic keyword list.

Detection is not infallible. Hebed lets you review flagged entities before sending, and legal-specific rules are refined based on real usage. We do not claim perfect anonymization for every prompt.

Straight answer

What Hebed Chat does today and what it doesn't, yet.

We'd rather you know exactly what you're getting. Hebed Chat is a confidential chat interface, not a full enforcement layer across every device and tool you use. That's coming, but it isn't live yet.

Live today

  • Anonymizes sensitive prompt content before it reaches the model
  • Detects and categorizes risk signals for visibility

Common question

"Why not just use ChatGPT Enterprise or Copilot?"

Enterprise AI plans improve how a provider stores and trains on your data. They don't remove the client name, IBAN or matter detail you typed into the prompt itself.

FAQ

Questions lawyers ask before trying it.

What is prompt anonymization?
Prompt anonymization means detecting and masking sensitive elements — client names, addresses, IBANs, amounts, matter details — inside a piece of text before it's sent to an AI model. The model answers the question without ever seeing who or what the prompt was really about.
Is Hebed Chat the same as ChatGPT Enterprise or Microsoft Copilot?
No. Enterprise plans govern how a provider stores and trains on your data. They don't remove a client's name or IBAN from the text you actually typed. Hebed Chat sits in front of the model and anonymizes the prompt itself, regardless of which provider answers it.
Which sensitive data can Hebed Chat detect?
Client and personal names, physical addresses, IBANs and bank details, financial amounts, company names, and matter-specific confidential details, using entity-detection techniques adapted for legal content.
Is the anonymization engine trained specifically for legal data?
The detection rules are built around the personal-data categories defined in PII regulation such as GDPR and the Swiss nLPD, then extended with legal-specific patterns for client names, matter references and case facts.
Where is my data stored?
Prompts and anonymization logs are stored with a Swiss cloud provider, consistent with Swiss data residency and nLPD expectations.
Is the anonymization perfect?
No detection system catches everything. Hebed Chat flags likely sensitive elements and lets you review before sending. Rules are refined for legal use cases over time, but we don't claim perfect anonymization for every prompt, and highly sensitive matters should still be reviewed.
Which AI models does Hebed Chat work with?
It's built to route anonymized prompts to commonly used models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral and Copilot, so you keep a familiar chat experience.
Is Hebed Chat a firewall or a full AI governance platform?
Not yet. Today it's a confidential chat interface with anonymization and risk visibility — it doesn't block every AI tool you use or intercept traffic through a reverse proxy. Broader enforcement controls are on the roadmap, not live today.
