Privatemode AI

Privatemode AI is an AI chat bot tool. Confidential AI chat, API, coding agents and Office integration where data stays encrypted even during model processing, verified through hardware attestation and external audits. Aimed at insurers, public agencies, legal teams and healthcare organizations that handle regulated data.

Privatemode AI is a confidential AI service built on confidential computing. Data is encrypted on the user's device before it is sent, and it stays encrypted while the model processes it on the provider side, so prompts and documents are never handled in plaintext on a server. Hardware-based certificates (remote attestation) let customers verify that the backend is running the software it claims to run, and external audits plus pen tests back that claim. The vendor positions this against two common alternatives: mainstream chatbots, which offer only contractual privacy promises, and self-hosted models, which demand dedicated hardware and in-house ML operations. The product comes in four entry points. A web chat at chat.privatemode.ai covers everyday conversations. An API with a small SDK snippet gives developers the same protected inference inside their own applications. A confidential coding setup plugs into agents and editors including Claude Code, OpenCode, Zed, VS Code and Xcode. An Office integration brings AI into Excel, Word and PowerPoint for documents that cannot leave the organization. Requests run on open frontier models from Z.ai (GLM), OpenAI (GPT-OSS), Qwen, Mistral and DeepSeek, and the available models are listed on the site. Privatemode is aimed at regulated and privacy-sensitive organizations rather than casual users. The site names insurers, public agencies, law firms, legal tech providers and health tech companies, and it publishes dedicated pages for insurance, the public sector, legal teams and healthcare. Compliance material is part of the pitch: the service is described as meeting BSI C5:2026 criteria for very strong attestation, and a review by an advisory firm recommends it for professions bound by professional secrecy under StGB §203, including doctors, lawyers and tax advisors. Named customers and partners include Airbus, the City of Munich IT department, Capgemini, Nvidia, GitLab, Bechtle, ID, eperi and Voloptimus, with case studies on the site. In practice it competes with private cloud deployments and self-managed model hosting. It removes the infrastructure burden of the latter while offering technical rather than purely contractual privacy guarantees compared with consumer AI services. Buyers who want on-premise control, or who need a provider outside the hosted model, still have reasons to look elsewhere.
