I built an open-source tool that stops personal data from leaking into AI chatbots

Ever copy-pasted something into ChatGPT and immediately thought "wait, should I have done that?" If you're building an AI app that handles user data, you need to know what's leaking into your LLM API before a regulator does. That's the problem ShadowAudit solves. It sits between your app and any LLM API and scans every prompt before it leaves your system - catching emails, numbers, API keys, and Indian national IDs like Aadhaar and PAN numbers. Two lines to integrate: sa = ShadowAudit. from_config ( " shadowaudit.yaml " ) client = sa. wrap ( openai. OpenAI ) That's it.
