Context
Our solution is already deployed on-premise, with full protection from external exposure: no data is ever sent outside or used for training. But another key concern remains: how can we reassure users about their internal privacy? Many employees hesitate to use AI for sensitive or exploratory conversations, fearing that their content could be seen by admins or managers. This hesitation fuels the rise of shadow AI, where employees turn to unsanctioned tools that compromise security and governance.The answer: Ephemeral Mode
With Ephemeral Mode, we provide complete privacy even internally:- 100% private and ephemeral sessions: no messages, document links, or feedback are stored.
- Total invisibility to admins: even system administrators cannot access the content.
- Automatic deletion after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Governance and activation
- Controlled at the instance level by the System Admin.
- If the feature is enabled at the instance level, a Company Admin can then activate it for their company.
- Once enabled, users can start a private session directly from the interface with a simple toggle.
User experience
- A clear banner indicates when a session is ephemeral.
- On exit, users are warned that all content will be lost unless copied.
- Available actions are adjusted:
- đ« Bug reporting is disabled (sessions are anonymous and short-lived).
- â Copy and share remain available so users can reuse content if needed.
Key benefits
- đĄïž Double privacy: external (on-prem, full privacy) and internal (invisible to admins).
- đ« End of shadow AI: no need to look elsewhere â sensitive work can be done safely within the official tool.
- đ Better adoption: employees feel confident to explore and use AI without fear.
Conclusion
With Ephemeral Mode, we go one step further: after guaranteeing external confidentiality, we now deliver internal confidentiality as well.The promise is simple: your employees can trust the official tool, because their conversations belong to them â and only to them.
