Privacy-first AI document collaboration for remote teams.
Privacy-conscious remote workers are frustrated by AI collaboration tools that inadvertently share sensitive data across distributed teams.
ShieldVault lets teams co-edit docs with AI suggestions processed in a zero-knowledge vault, ensuring sensitive data never touches external AI providers. Workers get real-time AI assists like auto-complete and insights without data leakage risks. Full version history and access controls keep everything auditable and secure.
