Privacy without paranoia

Give AI enough context to help. Keep the rest out.

The skill is not silence. The skill is choosing the right level of detail: goals, constraints, examples, and taste are useful; secrets and unnecessary identifiers usually are not.

Use This

"I want to build a small tool for snowboarders."
"My strength is visual taste; my weakness is finishing."
"The customer is a busy student who wants faster notes."
"Give me a plan I can execute in 30 minutes."

Usually Skip This

Exact names when a role works fine.
Addresses, passwords, private accounts, tokens, or payment details.
Other people's private stories.
Anything you would regret pasting into the wrong app.

Local Workbook

This dev site stores drafts, company state, and CEO chat history in this browser. Export what is useful. Clear it on shared devices.

Dev backend note

The local CEO chat uses Codex CLI with `gpt-5.4-mini` when you run the localhost server. The public static deploy keeps chat inactive until a real production API exists.
