PrivateGPT User Guide

This guide details how to use PrivateGPT, Private AI's privacy-preserving ChatGPT integration. In a nutshell, PrivateGPT uses Private AI's user-hosted PII identification and redaction container to redact prompts before being sent to OpenAI and then puts the PII back into the completions received from OpenAI. The user experience is similar, however no sensitive PII leave's the user's network or is shared with OpenAI.

PrivateGPT comes in two flavours, a chat UI similar to chat.openai.com for end users, and an API allowing the functionality to be built into applications and custom UIs.
