AI Coding Assistant Data Leak Checker
Scan if your AI coding assistant leaks sensitive data
- Problem
- When using AI coding assistants (e.g., Copilot, Cursor), they may send code snippets, keys, or other sensitive info to remote servers without user awareness. Recent discussions on AI assistant data leaks are growing, but simple self-check tools are lacking.
- Solution
- A local tool that monitors AI coding assistant network requests and file access, identifies potentially leaked sensitive data (API keys, passwords, PII), and generates reports. Supports real-time alerts and historical queries to help developers understand privacy risks.
- Users
- Developers using AI coding assistants, security teams, and privacy-conscious users.
- MVP
- Monitor network connections of AI assistant processes; parse request content and match sensitive data patterns; generate leak reports; provide real-time alerts; support common assistants (Copilot, Cursor, etc.).
- Revenue
- Open-source base + paid pro version (real-time blocking, policy config, team dashboard).
- Why now
- AI coding assistants are rapidly adopted, privacy leaks are frequent, but developers lack transparency and control; indie developers can quickly build lightweight monitoring tools.
