Are you concerned about the cybersecurity and privacy risks of sharing sensitive or private documents when using AI? Public AI is a threat to your privacy and cybersecurity.
We understand how crucial your privacy is when discussing sensitive matters and sharing confidential documents. The thought of your private conversations or documents falling into the wrong hands is panic inducing on a good day.
VaultChat keeps all your chats and documents private. No query or document leaves your computer.
What happens in VaultChat, stays in VaultChat.
Chat privately with your documents and a local language model.
