@gavinuhma This sounds great and what people are looking for, but I have many questions: At what point are the documents encrypted? Where are the documents stored? Is redaction done before or after encryption? What encryption is being used? Are you using embeddings with OpenAI to query the documents? Are the embeddings encrypted? If so, how did you manage to do this and get it to work with OpenAI? How do I get access to the API?

@mark_craddock Great questions! I’ll answer each one. - Documents are uploaded over TLS and processed in an AWS Nitro Enclave. - Documents are then client-side encrypted and stored in RDS. - Envelope encryption is used: AES 256 for the data and RSA 4096 for the data key. - We use a local embeddings model and vector storage/search (FAISS) which also runs in a Nitro Enclave. - The final prompts are de-identified of PII, PHI, and PCI before being processed by the ChatGPT API. As for API access, join our discord or send me an email and I’ll get you setup! Or I can let you know when the self serve api onboarding is released soon

@gavinuhma amazing and much needed - what kind of latency does this introduce?

@edsim Thank you!! We've kept the latency very minimal relative to the ChatGPT API, so it should feel about the same. This was a lot of work so appreciate the question! :)

Cape looks amazing! With the rise in generative AI, I'm happy to know that there will be ways to maintain privacy while still getting the benefit of an LLM. I am curious, what document types do you support exactly?

@jevon Surprised no one asked that yet! We support PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, Text, and Markdown. Moving forward we are even adding speech-to-text, and image-to-text, so you can add context from a bunch of different media types. Thanks for the support!!

A big problem that definitely needs to be addressed, huge congrats on the launch! I had a quick question while watching your demo video: so for the example where you ask "concisely compare the net profit or loss for Illustrative Corporation Group from 2020 to 2021", how does the LLM (the OpenAI model in this case) actually know how to compare those two numbers when the actual figures are redacted before the OpenAI API call is made? It correctly answered that the net profit "increased from 11,195 in 2020 to 14,737 in 2021", so wondering how it was able to come up with that answer. On that note, I'm super curious as to how CapeChat would deal with questions that ask directly or indirectly about the sensitive data (that are to be redacted before OpenAI API calls) themselves?

@channy_hong I'll let @miiklay respond to the first question since he recorded the video. Regarding your second question, the goal of the service is to redact private information, but leave all of the surrounding context alone. For example, if you ask a question that GPT sees as "Where was [NAME_1] born?" and have uploaded a document that contains some context like "[NAME_1] was born in [LOCATION_1] on [DATE_1].", GPT is smart enough to recognize and use those placeholders in its output. The response should look like this: "[NAME_1] was born in [LOCATION_1]." In general, you can expect useful answers to questions about sensitive info as long as the answer can be determined from (1) surrounding (un-redacted) context, or (2) other sensitive info that has a clear relationship to your question according to the surrounding context. And it turns out this is exactly the functionality we should hope for -- if GPT could do anything more than that, it means that you've leaked some of your sensitive data to it (and therefore to OpenAI, and/or any malicious actors who might gain access to your OpenAI API call history).

@channy_hong Keen eye :) That is possible with some simple prompt augmentation. For folks who subscribe to CapeChat Plus, you get access to GPT-4 and the ability to customize the prompt (amongst other features). I instructed GPT to format any math questions into a formula that could be interpreted with javascript, along with examples using the redacted placeholders syntax.

@miiklay Super cool, and thank you :) Sorry to bother you with a follow-up, but I just love digging into details like this 😎 In this exact example for instance, I'm curious as to how the LLM (through OpenAI's API) 'knows' that [MONEY_37] is greater than [MONEY_11], such that it answers that the net profit "increased". I'm probably just not understanding what prompt augmentation is 😂

@miiklay @jvmncs Gotcha gotcha, that makes a lot of sense. If I am understanding this correctly, then I guess the only type of questions that would be difficult for Cape Chat to answer would be things that require reasoning on top of the content of the redacted information? For instance, if one's 'place of birth' is an info that is redacted before the OpenAI API call is made, it would be hard to answer the question "name three countries that neighbor the country John Doe was born in", right? Or is there some way that y'all are handling this situation too already?

@miiklay @jvmncs @channy_hong Thanks for the support @channy_hong ! And great questions. Yes, the model will fail to answer any questions where the answer is “outside” of the context. That’s why it is good at documents because the context is all inside. You can try experimenting with this yourself.. type “Who is Wayne Gretzky?” And the model will tell you it doesn’t know. But you can give it a pdf of Gretzky and it can then answer. I’d be curious to see what you think! It’s fun to feed it hints about a famous person and then see if it can eventually identify them (since famous people are obvious statistical outliers)

The de-identifying of PII and PCI data is huge! Data leakage is something every enterprise user of LLMs is worried about. Love how the secure enclaves are abstracted away for users so it's an easier API and product to use! Congrats on the launch
