MemoryMirror

A privacy companion for AI assistant users that shows exactly what your AI knows about you, blocks data exfiltration attempts through web tools, and lets you selectively wipe sensitive topics.

Target user

Professionals who share confidential information with AI assistants daily — lawyers, doctors, journalists, executives, founders

Features
  • AI Memory Inspector shows exactly what Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini have stored about you, grouped by topic
  • Outbound Watch alerts you when an AI is about to web_fetch, tool-call, or open a link that could carry your data off-platform
  • One-click 'forget this topic' wipes related memories across sessions and surfaces that handle them
  • Risk Score rates how much PII your AI has accumulated in 30, 90, and 365 days and where it might leak

Demand
5/10

Memory exploits are real (Tenable/HackedGPT found 7 vulnerabilities stealing memory and chat history, Atlas browser exploit plants persistent memory), but the 'Memory Heist' HN post only reached 42 points; lawyers/doctors express concern in guides but few actively buy third-party memory audit tools.Researchers Find 7 ChatGPT Vulnerabilities That Let Hackers Steal Your DataNew ChatGPT Atlas Browser Exploit Lets Attackers Plant Persistent MemoryThe Memory Heist: How Hackers Exploit ChatGPT's Long-Term Memory

Whitespace
7/10

Enterprise tools (Nightfall AI, Protecto) cover B2B AI data exfiltration but target compliance teams; individual-facing 'show me what my AI remembers' companions are absent — Proton Lumo, Brave Leo, Mistral replace the AI rather than audit it; OpenAI's own privacy center is the only native option.Best AI Agent Security & MCP Security Platforms for Data Exfiltration PreventionWhich Generative AI Is Most Privacy-Respecting? - ObscureIQOpenAI Privacy Center

Monetization
5/10

Proven willingness to pay exists — Meetily charges $10/user/month for privacy-first AI notes with 308k downloads, Spellbook monetizes lawyer-specific AI, and privacy-first AI tools are a recognized category — but individual pros are price-sensitive and OpenAI/Google could ship native memory controls at any time, capping ceiling.Meetily (Meetly AI) - Privacy-First AI Meeting AssistantIs ChatGPT Private?

Longevity
8/10

Memory features are expanding across every major assistant (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude) and regulators (GDPR, HIPAA, DPDP) are tightening AI data rules — durable tailwind — but the job is likely to be absorbed into the assistants themselves or OS-level privacy layers within 2-3 years.Researchers Hack ChatGPT Memories and Web Search FeaturesAI Assistant Privacy and Security Comparison | 2025 Analysis

Feasibility
4/10

ChatGPT memory is server-side and not exposed via API for selective wipe; a companion would need a browser extension, network interception, or a local proxy layer to infer/manage memory — significant engineering with fragile reliability, and 'blocks data exfiltration through web tools' requires hooking tool-call surfaces that differ per assistant.ChatGPT Privacy Settings: The Complete 2026 GuideIs ChatGPT Private?
