Codebase Privacy Sentinel
Monitors AI coding assistants for silent re-enabling of data sharing to prevent IP leaks
- Problem
- Companies forbid leaking code and prompts to AI providers; employees manually disable data sharing in Codex/Claude Code, but settings can be silently re-enabled. Developers must manually check periodically, which is tedious and error-prone.
- Solution
- A lightweight monitoring tool that periodically checks privacy settings of OpenAI/Anthropic accounts and local AI tool configs, alerts via email/Slack when data sharing is enabled, and records change history.
- Users
- Development teams, CTOs, and security leads sensitive about IP protection
- MVP
- Support checking OpenAI/Anthropic account settings; provide API/script for periodic polling; email alerts on status changes; simple team dashboard
- Revenue
- Team subscription at $9-$29 per team per month; add premium audit logs and compliance reports
- Why now
- AI coding assistants are widespread and data sharing policies opaque; compliance pressure on large companies growing; indie developers can quickly integrate cloud APIs
