MUTANT Data Safety Layer

Stop sensitive databefore it reaches AI.

The Data Safety Layer checks text locally in your browser, detects and redacts 11 types of sensitive data, and supports privacy-preserving audit evidence—before you share anything with an AI tool.

The safety flow

Four steps. Your text stays on the page.

A clear checkpoint between sensitive working material and the AI tools your team uses.

01

Paste or load text

Bring in the material you plan to use with AI.

02

Detect sensitive data

Check for 11 categories, including contact, identity and financial details.

03

Review and redact

Inspect the findings and replace sensitive values with clear placeholders.

04

Export a safe record

Copy safer text and, when needed, create privacy-preserving audit evidence.

Illustrative example. Detection results should always be reviewed before sharing text onward.

One practical AI toolkit

Create. Protect. Verify.

Move from better inputs, through safer handling, to stronger checks on what you see and share. Every route below opens a real tool or product.

Why MUTANT

AI tools built differently.

Small, understandable products designed around control—not another black box between you and your work.

01 / LOCAL FIRST

Keep sensitive work close

Where a task can run in your browser, it should. The safety web app is built around that principle.

02 / UNDERSTANDABLE

Show the checkpoint

Useful output should help you review and decide, not hide judgement behind a score.

03 / INDEPENDENT

Built without platform lock-in

Focused tools that can fit alongside the AI services you already choose.

04 / PRACTICAL

Made for real workflows

Direct routes, clear interfaces and tools meant to be used—not just demonstrated.

Built independently

Built by Rick.

“MUTANT is where I build practical, opinionated tools for working with AI more safely, creatively and transparently.”

Make safety the step before send

Check your text before sharing it with AI.

Start in the browser with a local-first check. Review what is detected, redact what matters, then move forward with more control.
