What AI Eraser is
AI Eraser is a free Chrome extension that removes personal data from ChatGPT prompts before you send them. It targets the kind of information people paste by accident, including social security numbers, API keys, and email addresses, and it adds a Redact button to chatgpt.com so the cleanup is a single click. Everything runs locally on your device, and the extension states that no data is transmitted anywhere, which is the whole point: the sensitive text never leaves your machine in the first place. An undo function restores the original prompt if you redact too much, and the extension activates only when you are on chatgpt.com. The developers still expect you to review the result manually.
What you can do with it
- Strip identifiers from a prompt with one click
- Keep API keys and account details out of a chat
- Undo a redaction if it removed something you needed
- Work without sending anything to an external server
Who it is for
- Developers who paste code, keys, or logs into chats
- Researchers handling sensitive material
- Anyone who wants a quick check before pressing send
What to watch out for
Automated redaction is not perfect. It can miss a piece of information or remove something you needed to keep, so a manual review of the final prompt is still necessary. Coverage is limited to chatgpt.com, so prompts sent to other AI tools are not touched. Because it is an extension that reads the page, changes to ChatGPT's layout or to Chrome's extension rules can affect how it behaves, and browser permissions should be reviewed before you install anything like this. It reduces risk but does not remove it, and nothing replaces not pasting a secret in the first place.
