- People sharing sensitive documents with AI
- Worth noticing
- Labels can be restored in an AI reply if they remain intact; users can review, add, or remove detections before sharing.
Field notes
The page describes a review-first workflow: users can correct detections and maintain their own word lists for names to hide or keep visible. Its processing stack combines rules, a name-recognition model shipped with the app, and Google ML Kit; the privacy section distinguishes on-device document processing from diagnostic data that ML Kit may send. The site says recent document history is limited to 100 items and excluded from cloud backups and device transfer.
