    Hi HN, I’m one of the maintainers of Bridge Anonymization. We built this because the existing solutions for translating sensitive user content are insufficient for many of our privacy-concious clients (Governments, Banks, Healthcare, etc.). We couldn't send PII to third-party APIs, but standard redaction destroyed the translation quality. If you scrub "John" to "[PERSON]", the translation engine loses gender context (often defaulting to masculine), which breaks grammatical agreement in languages like French or German. So we built a reversible, local-first pipeline for Node.js/Bun. Here…

    I built NICH after realising I couldn't use ChatGPT for my conflict research work without risking data leaks. It's a browser extension that: - Anonymises names, emails, and addresses in one click - Preserves context for AI to understand - Restores original data in AI responses - 100% browser-based (no cloud, data never leaves your device) Built it for researchers, lawyers, HR professionals or simply anyone handling confidential data who wants AI assistance without compliance nightmares. Free to use: https://www.nichtech.uk Would love feedback from the HN community!

    Every other gateway is detect-and-block. You don't get a security grade. You don't get red team in CI. We built the one that does. PromptGuard is a proxy: change your base URL (one line with our SDK, or a few lines without), and every request gets checked for prompt injection, PII leaks, jailbreaks, and abuse. 20+ threat vectors, 39+ PII types. We also ship a red team suite and an autonomous agent that mutates attacks to find bypasses - you get a grade (A-F) and a GitHub Action that runs these tests on every PR. So you see where you're weak before you ship. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic,…

    Hey HN, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on: *RAG-Guard*, a document AI that’s all about privacy. It’s an experiment in combining Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with AI-powered question answering, but with a twist — your data stays yours. Here’s the idea: you can upload contracts, research papers, personal notes, or any other documents, and RAG-Guard processes everything locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly approve it. ### How It Works - * Zero-Trust by Design*: Every step happens in your browser until you say otherwise. - * Local…
