Setting up client PII anonymization in your Claude Cowork process is easier than you think.

Claude works just as well, if not better, with explicitly labeled subjects.

It’s possible to preserve both output quality and confidentiality!

@jan__kubica @BitGrateful @Law_Flows In our case, in each location the original term is swapped back verbatim for its corresponding anonymized tag (via the local key). The anonymization can have both user-defined custom-tagged terms, and auto-detected terms.

Our international app also supports ES, DE, FR, and IT!

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

@jan__kubica @BitGrateful @Law_Flows We use a combination of local NLP models, rule & pattern-based, and other algos. Locally reinserting original terms/de-anonymizing using local keys also an app feature!

@BitGrateful @lower_case_b In part. We use fully local NLP + custom algos, smaller and more performant on laptops.

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

@Law_Flows @BitGrateful Exactly right: not only is the software imperfect because it's small enough to run locally on laptops, but privacy and confidentiality can be heavily subjective. Need a human in the loop.

Any lawyers using something like this?

How does it affect productivity?

@lower_case_b @BitGrateful ^ this right here folks

FYI if you have a zdr with anthropic. It doesn't apply to mythos/fable

We’re building a suite of multilingual privacy tools: https://t.co/gDRNORZTFC

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

Using AI with confidential, multilingual documents? CamoText International anonymizes English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian text with native models and interfaces.

Switch with a click or CLI arg. Still fully offline, performant on laptops.

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

No usage throttling, unlimited use regardless of WiFi, no worrying if a site downloads your output or malware.

Convert files to friendly/lighter formats, extract audio from video, voice typing, redacting - you don't need an internet connection.

Contractual privacy isn't adequate for professionals using AI.

DPAs and BAAs are paper promises; often still inadequate for the confidentiality requirements of some professions. ZDR addendums are expensive, and still rely on trust.

Why rely solely on contracts?

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

The CamoSuite apps are designed for a maximal privacy by default (fully offline operation, nothing leaves your device).

Also, some daily tasks are just better suited for local apps than cloud services, regardless of privacy:

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

Great for privately converting:
- PDF or .docx into Markdown, for AI to read more efficiently
- meeting or deposition videos into an MP3 or WAV for transcription
- HEIC iPhone photos to web-friendly WEBP

and more: https://t.co/OxjxSqE3jC

File conversions can be a hassle; it's tempting to upload to an online converter and brave a maze of ads and questionable links. There's a more private way.

CamoConvert is a desktop app that converts video, audio, images, and docs fully locally and offline.

@ErikVoorhees + add our prompt/context doc anonymizer!

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

@solirvine Definitely a challenge, but there are some contextual keys to help mitigate

[CamoText 🛡 @CamoText]

@zenpanda01 @gajesh Exactly, surprisingly few categories and half are catchable with pattern matching. Kind of validating for us

CamoVoice, our offline speech-to-text desktop app, now has voice typing. Hit the hotkey, speak, hit again, and text is written at your cursor.

Works in any app with no cloud, no subscription, no always-on listener: fully private.

Audio never leaves your device. More info:
