The AI only sees placeholders
Values become typed placeholders like [EMAIL] before sending. The reply keeps them.
Redact sensitive data. Keep the answer useful.
Alesia swaps sensitive values for placeholders on the device before a prompt is sent. With reversible redaction, the real values come back as soon as the AI replies.
Example: in an AI chat, Alesia finds an email address and a card number in a new message. The user picks Redact and send, the values are replaced with placeholders on the device, and the AI replies using only the placeholders. As soon as the reply arrives, Alesia restores the real values on the device.
Why it matters
The task is fine. The data in it isn't.
People ask AI for help with emails, tickets and logs. Those often hold a customer's address, a card number or a key.
Without Alesia
A support agent asks AI to draft a reply about an overdue invoice.
The customer's email and card number go into the prompt.
With Alesia
Alesia swaps both for placeholders on the device.
The AI still writes the draft. It never sees the data.
Two modes
Same protection. You choose how the reply reads.
In both modes the AI only sees placeholders. The difference is what the person reads.
Reversible redactionPro, Business and Enterprise
Real values back, as soon as the reply arrives
The mapping stays on the device. Placeholders in the reply turn back into the real values.
Restoring
The mapping never leaves the device
Alesia keeps track of which placeholder stands for which value, on the device. This holds for the whole conversation, so later replies are restored too. The AI provider never sees the original values.

Everywhere
Works wherever people use AI
Redaction and reversible redaction work in the browser, desktop apps, the terminal and the IDE. Which one applies is set in each Data Protection policy, alongside block, warn and watch. The console records that a redaction happened, never the redacted content.
Redaction, in detail
Both replace sensitive values with placeholders on the device before a prompt is sent. With redaction, the reply keeps the placeholders. With reversible redaction, Alesia restores the original values in the reply as soon as it arrives.
No. Values are replaced on the device before the prompt is sent, and the mapping used to restore them never leaves the device.
For the whole conversation, so placeholders in later replies are restored too.
Every surface Alesia covers: AI tools in the browser, desktop apps, the terminal and the IDE.
Redaction is included on every plan, including Free. Reversible redaction is available on Pro, Business and Enterprise.
