Highlights while you type

BeeSensible highlights sensitive spans inline as you type in ChatGPT.

While you type or paste in an AI tool, email, or chat, BeeSensible underlines sensitive data right in the field, before you send. The example above is live: try the actions on it.

What the colours mean

  • Yellow is the Sensitive level: a single underline. It marks data that can be sensitive in one context and fine in another, such as a name, an email address, or a phone number. A prompt to take a quick look.
  • Red is the Critical level: a double underline. It marks higher-risk data such as an IBAN or a national ID (BSN). Review these before sending.
  • Teal means Handled: a dotted line. Once you act on a highlight, you can see at a glance what is already done.

The level lives in the shape of the line as well as the colour. It also appears as text, Sensitive, Critical, or Handled, in the small window on a highlight and in the side panel.

Which data types are yellow, red, or off comes from the detection profile your admin maps per app, so a stricter profile can apply in a public AI tool than in an internal chat.

What you can do with a highlight

Move your mouse over a highlight. A small window appears with the data type, the level, and three choices:

  • At the top sits a replacement: a fictional but realistic-looking value, for example mateo@acme-eu.com becoming jordan.lee@sample.org. The sentence still reads naturally, so the AI tool can still help, but the real value does not travel. The same value gets the same replacement throughout your message.
  • Below it sits a mask label, numbered per type, like [NAME1] or [IBAN1]. Use it when the exact value does not matter, only what kind of data was there.
  • Delete removes the value entirely.

The Apply to all occurrences switch at the bottom applies your choice to every occurrence of the same value. To see all detections in one list, open the side panel from the BeeSensible tab at the right edge of the page; see Review detections and replace, mask, or delete.

You stay in control

BeeSensible never blocks sending and never changes your text on its own. A highlight is a prompt, not a wall. You decide whether to replace, mask, delete, or send as is.
