Privatemode The always-encrypted AI service.

What is Privatemode?

Privatemode provides generative AI capabilities with a primary focus on data security and privacy. Utilizing confidential computing technology, it ensures user data remains encrypted throughout its lifecycle – during transfer, storage, and even during processing in main memory. This approach allows individuals and developers to leverage powerful AI models for tasks like content generation and document analysis without concerns about data exposure.

The service employs an advanced zero-trust architecture, designed to prevent any external party, including the service provider Edgeless Systems and infrastructure hosts, from accessing user data. Hosted in the European Union, Privatemode guarantees that user interactions are not utilized for training the AI models. It offers both a dedicated chat application and an API for integration, enabling secure AI usage across various platforms while maintaining compliance and confidentiality.

FAQs

What makes Privatemode more secure than other AI services?

Privatemode uses confidential computing to protect data constantly, even during processing. Its design ensures no one, including Edgeless Systems or cloud providers, can access your data.
Which AI models does Privatemode provide?

Currently, Privatemode uses a version of Meta's Llama v3.3 (70B parameters). Support for other models like DeepSeek R1 is planned.
Will the AI learn from my data or remember it?

No, Privatemode's architecture technically prevents the AI model from learning from or remembering user data.
How can the AI process my data if it's 'always encrypted'?

Confidential computing allows the CPU/GPU hardware to decrypt data internally within secure, inaccessible structures, appearing externally as if processing encrypted data.
Why do I need to download an app to use Privatemode?

The app performs remote attestation (verifying service integrity) and encrypts data before transmission, functions not efficiently handled within a web browser.
