MugatuAI says Signal is designed to check prompts, clipboard pastes, and uploads locally before information is sent to public AI services.
MugatuAI announced the private beta of Signal, a browser-based tool intended to help organizations manage sensitive information when employees use public artificial intelligence services.
The announcement addresses a challenge organizations face as browser-based AI tools become part of routine writing, research, analysis, and development work. The company said credentials, customer records, source code, infrastructure details, and other business information can end up in prompts or be uploaded through a web browser during normal work activity.

According to MugatuAI, Signal checks typed prompts, clipboard pastes, and uploads locally on the device before sending them to the browser. The company says the tool is designed to identify and mask relevant content before sending it to a public AI service, while preserving the surrounding request for the user.
