private work.

Every AI tool processes your documents on someone else’s servers.

ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini all move your content off your machine into prompt logs, caches, and GPU memory, where abuse-review staff can read it, breaches expose it, rewritten terms retain it, and subpoenas reach it. That is the architecture, not a policy choice.

Vendor breaches

Your content sits in GPU memory, prompt logs, caches, and embedding stores, where one misconfiguration can expose it all. Samsung banned ChatGPT internally in 2023 after engineers leaked source code through it.

Trained on by default

Consumer tiers train on your prompts unless you opt out. ChatGPT Free and Plus and consumer Microsoft Copilot do so by default, Gemini Apps Activity is on by default, and GitHub Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ join them from April 2026. Enterprise tiers differ, but most users aren’t on them.

Internal access

Abuse review, safety teams, security investigations, and support escalations all mean vendor staff reading customer content, with no visibility for you.

Legal demands

Subpoenas, government orders, and discovery compel vendors to produce data whatever the contract says. In May 2025 a US federal court ordered OpenAI to preserve “deleted” ChatGPT conversations for Plus, Free, Team, and most API users (NYT v. OpenAI).

Foreign government reach

The US CLOUD Act and FISA 702 let US authorities compel US-based AI vendors to hand over customer data, often under a gag order, even for EU and UK customers. The 2020 Schrems II ruling turned on exactly this, and no DPA overrides it.

Vendor revocation

Vendors can also cut you off. Anthropic’s September 2025 policy restricted Claude for entities more than 50% owned from unsupported regions, and by April 2026 Goldman Sachs had cut off its Hong Kong bankers entirely, for reasons unrelated to their work.

A contract is a promise the vendor won’t look.

Muet is built so they can’t.

Use it on its own or beside the tools you already pay for.

Muet handles what Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot can’t: the privileged settlement, the patient record, the target company’s cap table. Use the cloud for the public eighty per cent and Muet for the private twenty.

Redacting by hand ends in the fatigue trap.

Most professionals end up pasting documents into ChatGPT or Claude paragraph by paragraph, stripping names by hand and hoping nothing slips through.

Then fatigue wins: the tenth redaction is sloppier than the first, and by the twentieth most people paste in the whole document, telling themselves it will be fine this once.

Everyone crosses this line eventually, because the workaround is exhausting and the productivity gain is too large to resist.

Most AI sold as private is private only by contract.

Your data still leaves the machine, and you rely on a chain of promises that no training run, sub-processor leak, subpoena, or acquisition breaks. Real privacy is architectural: the data never leaves.

Muet (on-device)Architectural

Runs on your Mac and never transmits your documents.

On-premise self-hostedOperational

Stays on your own infrastructure, which your IT team must secure.

Enterprise contract (Claude, OpenAI)Contractual

Data reaches the vendor, which contracts not to train on it, and stays discoverable.

Paid chatbot (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro)Default

Sent to the vendor and kept for 30 days by default, with varying training opt-outs.

Free chatbot / third-party wrappersNone

Sent to both the vendor and the wrapper, and may be used for training.

Built for sensitive document work, not general-purpose chat.

Redact, ready to share.

Legal review

Contracts, clauses, and key terms, reviewed on-device, so ABA 512 disclosure isn’t triggered the same way.

Financial analysis

Deal memos, cap tables, models, and audits, with the numbers kept on your machine.

Medical records

Patient files, clinical notes, and diagnoses. Sending them off the device can be a reportable HIPAA breach; Muet never does.

Images, scans, evidence

Whiteboards, receipts, and screenshots, read by on-device OCR so you can query and extract them.

Tracked-change editing

Ask for edits in plain language and Muet writes them into the DOCX as tracked changes to accept or reject in Word.

Anonymisation

Remove names, addresses, emails, and IDs in one pass and get a clean anonymised copy with no tracked changes, comments, or metadata.

Spreadsheet Q&A

Ask Excel and CSV files questions in plain language. They are parsed natively, never uploaded.

Secure translation

Translate contracts, filings, and case files on your Mac, formatting intact, without sending them to Google Translate or DeepL.

And many more

Summaries, drafting, meeting notes, filings, depositions, regulatory submissions, tax documents, and audit responses, with more arriving in updates. If it’s on your Mac, Muet works with it.

Your document never leaves your Mac.

Step 01

Open any document

PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or an image, in whichever app you use.

Step 02

Press ⌘⇧E

Muet finds the active document and parses it on your machine before your finger leaves the keyboard.

Ask anything, or pick an action

Choose Summarise, Proofread, Anonymise, Translate, or Compare, or type a question. Answers are cited, edits arrive as tracked changes, and anonymising takes one pass.

You shouldn’t have to wonder which model is best.

There is no model picker, context-length dial, or temperature slider.

Muet tests the local models, picks the best for your Mac, and asks once before switching to a stronger one.

The better your Mac, the better Muet gets, automatically.

Muet reads your Mac’s unified memory and picks the largest model it can run comfortably.

MacBook Pro · 24–32 GB

Balanced

Max

Muet keeps working on a plane, in a secure facility, or on a train with no signal.

Cloud AI stops when the connection drops, and flights, tunnels, bad Wi-Fi, and regulated facilities cost hours each week.

Because Muet runs on your Mac, you can finish a review in the air, edit a contract off-network, or summarise a deposition on the train.

With no sub-processors and no DPA, there is nothing to negotiate.

Most AI compliance work exists only because data moves. Keep the data still and most of that work disappears.

No third-party processor

Muet isn’t a processor of your documents, so GDPR Art. 28 doesn’t apply in the EU or UK: no DPA to negotiate, no sub-processor list, no Art. 28(3) terms.

No transfer means no Schrems II problem

Documents don’t leave the device, so the transfer rules in GDPR Art. 44–49, Switzerland’s revFADP, and the UK IDTA don’t engage.

Confidentiality duties stay intact

ABA Formal Op. 512 and Florida Bar Op. 24-1 (US), CNB September 2024 guidance on secret professionnel (France), §203 StGB (Germany), and the SRA Code (UK) all turn on whether a third party processed client information. With Muet, none did.

Sectoral rules: HIPAA, FINRA, ITAR, GLBA

Each is triggered when a third party creates, receives, maintains, or transmits regulated data. Muet receives nothing.

What does cross the network

Licence checks at activation and periodically after, update checks, and the one-time model download. No document content, prompts, or usage data, and no telemetry, analytics, or crash reporting.

No audit surface for your work

Our servers hold nothing to breach, subpoena, or inspect. The audit trail is the laptop, the device policy, and the invoice.

Confidentiality shouldn’t need
an enterprise contract.

Enterprise contracts that limit one vendor’s access cost tens of thousands a year, plus audits, and still send the data. Muet costs $390 per Mac per year.

One licence covers one Mac for a year.
