BALMAS AI Puts a Cleaning Step Between Documents and AI

balmasai.com Observed source
Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based tool that removes or replaces sensitive information in documents before they are sent to AI systems.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The workflow lets users inspect detected findings individually before generating a replacement copy, rather than applying an invisible bulk redaction. The site says replacements remain stable across repeated references and that document metadata—including author fields, comments, and tracked changes—is cleaned as well. It lists three policy levels and presents a future API for sending a file and receiving a clean copy, while the current browser workflow is the clearest visible functionality.
