Velami: a pre-send privacy layer for AI chats
Velami describes a browser extension that replaces sensitive details in prompts with labels before they reach AI services, then restores them in the reply.
- For
- People sharing sensitive text with AI chat services
- Worth noticing
- The page shows a pre-send preview, an on-device request log with SHA-256, an echo-server test, and AGPL-3.0 source.
Field notes
The page walks through prompt substitution with examples such as [[CARD_1]] and [[EMAIL_1]], then shows how the reply is intended to be restored in the browser. Its transparency section includes a sample request, a SHA-256 comparison, and a test against an independent echo server. The site also describes the code as AGPL-3.0 and the build as reproducible; these are presented as ways to inspect its claims, not as independent verification.
