Keep private data and unsafe content out of your AI chatbot

Every chat message is automatically scrubbed of personal details and checked for harmful content before the AI responds.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

When customers or employees chat with an AI assistant, sensitive details like names, emails, and phone numbers can end up stored or exposed without anyone noticing. There is also a real risk that the AI could be tricked into producing harmful or inappropriate responses.

Who it fits

Businesses running an AI chatbot for customers or staff who need to protect privacy and stay within safety guidelines.

How it works

  1. A message comes in through the chat
  2. The automation removes personal details like emails, phone numbers, names, and addresses before anything else happens
  3. It checks the message for harmful, hateful, or inappropriate content and blocks it if found
  4. Only clean, safe messages are passed to the AI to generate a response
  5. You receive a safe, appropriate reply back in the chat
What you get

Private details that never reach your AI

Your chatbot keeps personal information private and steers clear of harmful content before every single reply.

What you get

A chatbot response that never exposes personal data and never engages with harmful content.

What you need

An OpenRouter API account for the underlying AI model.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
