What you'll see
Your AI footprint, in one popup.
Most people are surprised by the count. The typical 50-person company runs 27 AI tools. You won't know yours until you look.
Estimated monthly and annual spend
An estimate of what those tools cost, per month and per year, from typical published prices. It is an estimate, not your invoice.
Shadow-AI risk
It flags the tools that tend to handle high-risk data and the ones running on personal accounts your team never approved.
Runs on your device
Every count is computed in your browser. Close the tab and it is gone. Clear the data anytime from the popup.
Privacy, in plain terms
It reads the tab address. That is the whole story.
We build security software. We hold our own tools to the bar we ask of everyone else. So here is exactly what this one does, and what it never does.
The scanner runs entirely on your device. It reads the address of the tab you are on to recognize AI tools, and nothing else. It does not read page content. It does not read your prompts. It does not read your keystrokes. Nothing leaves your device unless you click send.
When you do click send, we receive your email plus a coarse summary: the number of tools, a spend band, and the count of high-risk tools. We never receive the list of tools, the sites you visited, or anything you typed.
