The tool restores the original values in the model’s reply, so the user sees a normal answer while the real data never leaves the device. \n\nThe desktop version runs as a browser extension for Chrome, Safari and Edge or as a native app for macOS and Windows, and it supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. It uses a compact on‑device model called Rampart together with deterministic rules to detect names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, tax IDs, bank account numbers and other sensitive fields. AgentCloak also offers a paid Server version for teams that adds file cloaking, audit logs and integrations with Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace and Okta.","keyPoints":["AgentCloak Desktop replaces private fields with synthetic twins on-device before sending prompts to AI chatbots.","Supports ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, DeepSeek and runs as a browser extension or native app.","Free for individuals; enterprise AgentCloak Server adds file cloaking, audit logs, and integrations with Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, Okta."],"whyItMatters":"Provides on‑device privacy for users of popular AI chatbots, reducing data exposure risk without costly sovereign AI infrastructure as AI adoption expands.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["AgentCloak","Microsoft","Google","DeepSeek"],"models":["Rampart"],"people":["Peter Yared"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-18T06:59:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-18T06:59:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"aol.com","title":"AgentCloak Launches AgentCloak Desktop, Free Sovereign AI That Cloaks Private Data Before It Reaches Popular AI Chatbots","url":"https://aol.com/articles/agentcloak-launches-agentcloak-desktop-free-140000000.html","publishedAt":"2026-09-18T06:59:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"AgentCloak launches free AgentCloak Desktop to cloak data before AI chatbots\", 18 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/agentcloak-launches-free-agentcloak-desktop-to-cloak-data-before-ai-ch","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"AgentCloak launches free AgentCloak Desktop to cloak data before AI chatbots","datePublished":"2026-09-18T06:59:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/agentcloak-launches-free-agentcloak-desktop-to-cloak-data-before-ai-ch"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
