  • I don't understand this, what's the point?

    How does anyone accidentally give personal information to an LLM? Because either you don't in the first place (eh, I guess, most people?) or you do but for some specific, weird reason (I can't think of any but I guess these exist).

  • Some clients do that automatically: https://swival.dev/pages/secrets.html

  • I’m not sure whether this project is truly practical in its current form. More and more people are using AI agents through CLI tools or desktop applications, so I think you should consider extending it to run locally.

  • Great project! I'm looking for something like this but for code: an app that runs locally and obfuscates variables & strings into generic things, so you don't leak code/db structure to LLM companies. Couldn't find anything though so I'm using an LLM to write one.

  • Some people are confused as to what this is, so I thought I'd bring up this sentence from the Readme:

    > PISIGuard runs entirely in your browser. It spots names, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, API keys, and more, replaces them with safe placeholders, then puts the real values back into the AI’s reply. From your point of view, it’s mostly invisible; from the AI’s point of view, the sensitive stuff was never there.

    I suggest putting it at the top of the readme!

    I think it's a very smart system, and could easily extend beyond AI use. Please continue working on it!

  • Interesting.

    1. Suggestion: Personally I love when projects mention whether they’ve found other existing software that does something similar, and if so how this app compares.

    2. On iOS when I click into the project it opens into the GitHub iOS app but there’s a big empty box below the big logo. Clicking the box opens the video in my browser. Maybe it’s a GitHub app issue? I didn’t spend any time further on that.

    3. Minor but I couldn’t be sure what pisi stands for - the page seems to use “personal and sensitive information” (PASI?) but maybe it stands for “personal information sensitive information” even if the page doesn’t use that phrase?
