Lawyers use AI to draft contracts, summarise email, and speed up research. BeeSensible highlights client names, case numbers, and confidential details in the text you write, before a prompt or email leaves the firm.

Looking for the wider story for your organisation? That lives on AI governance for legal organisations. A draft contract, the summary of a case file, a memo for the client: exactly the texts where AI saves time. And exactly the texts with names, case numbers, and confidential terms in them. BeeSensible highlights that data while you type, so you can remove it before you send.
From the field
A lawyer pastes a clause into ChatGPT and asks for sharper wording. That clause holds the counterparty's name, the deal value, and a confidential term. The text reads better, but the details of a live deal have now been processed by an outside tool.
A paralegal asks AI to summarise a long email thread for the file. The client name, the case number, and the opposing party's name all go into the prompt. The summary is ready at once, and information covered by confidentiality has left the firm.
After an incident, the regulator wants to know which confidential data ended up in which AI tools. A policy on responsible AI use exists. Proof that staff got a warning at the moment itself does not.
The catalog already covers more than 25 AI tools built for legal work, from contract drafting to case research, each scored on data governance, jurisdiction, and vendor trust. When someone in the firm opens one, you see it appear. Then the firm decides: allow it, allow it with a condition of your own, or not allow it. Anyone opening the tool afterwards sees that decision in the browser, with the approved alternative leading.
Legal staff can clean up the text before privileged details are shared.
A due diligence memo, a case summary, a draft contract: open it in the Mac or Windows desktop app, and client names, case numbers, counterparty names, and deal values are marked for you to remove before you share the document or paste it into AI.

Why this is hard
Lawyers use ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini to draft, review, and summarise. Often without calling it AI. Policy lags behind what happens every day.
Pasting client names, case numbers, or deal terms into a consumer AI tool can touch your duty of confidentiality, even when it happens by accident and the output was useful.
Banning AI outright gives you no safety, only Shadow AI on personal laptops. People need help at the moment they type, not a rule they route around.
To clients, to the regulator, to your own partners. The team expected to set the example cannot rely on a policy on paper. You show that the control actually works.
Across legal
The same risk shows up in different files, from contracts to disputes.
Contracts
Drafts and clauses with party names, amounts, and confidential terms.
Disputes
Case files, correspondence, and pleadings with client and counterparty data.
M&A and deals
Due diligence, term sheets, and bids full of confidential deal details.
Privacy and compliance
Regulatory submissions and reports with personal data about individuals.
Internal legal
Advice, memos, and minutes where names and sensitive context recur.
How BeeSensible helps
Sensitive details get a highlight while staff write. They decide what to remove, replace, or mask.
Highlights client names, case numbers, party names, account numbers, and confidential amounts while you type.
Runs in the browser, in AI tools, email, and chat, plus a desktop app for macOS and Windows for document redaction. No proxy, no training up front.
You choose: remove, replace with a realistic alternative, or mask. The extension never changes your text on its own and never blocks sending.
Administrators see patterns by tool and category. What an individual lawyer writes is never stored and cannot be read.
For partners, DPO, and compliance officer
BeeSensible gives you the evidence you need in front of clients and regulators: how many markings were adjusted before sending and how many went out anyway, what happened after a tool notice, and what share of AI use runs through approved tools. All at firm level, never per employee.

Top apps
Example dashboard. Counts and types only, never content.
Compliance officer
Show clients, partners, and the regulator that a control sits at the moment of input, with figures per period: markings adjusted or sent anyway, a recorded decision per AI tool, and what people did with the notice.
Privacy officer
The dashboard shows no text and no single people: only aggregate counts, with no per-employee drill-down anywhere. Insight into patterns, not surveillance of people.
CISO and IT
No proxy and no new application. The extension runs in Chrome and Edge. Detection runs on our own servers at European providers, with no US parent, and all traffic is encrypted in transit.
Honest answers
Straight answers to the questions people actually ask before rolling this out.
No. The extension analyses text in the input fields of supported tools to highlight sensitive data. That text travels to a BeeSensible server at a European provider, is processed in working memory, and is discarded at once. The content is never stored and cannot be read by anyone, not even an administrator.
No, BeeSensible blocks nothing. You see a highlight in the text and choose what to do: remove, replace, or mask. The lawyer stays in control, and the firm gets insight into patterns.
No tool makes you compliant on its own. BeeSensible helps with GDPR and your duty of confidentiality by covering the moment of input. The firm stays the controller, BeeSensible is the processor, and a processing agreement is signed.
Yes. The detection engine handles Dutch and English reliably and recognises data common in legal work, such as names, case numbers, account numbers, and amounts.
Limited. There is no proxy to configure. The desktop app for document redaction is optional. The extension runs in the browser your firm already uses and can be rolled out centrally through your management console.
Compliance
GDPR
Supports your accountability and covers the moment personal data is entered.
Duty of confidentiality and privilege
Helps recognise client names, case numbers, and confidential details before they are shared.
