Every organisation has controls on email, file sharing, and cloud storage. Nobody has controls on paste. In thirty seconds, an employee can copy ten years of client records, credentials, or regulated data and paste it directly into an external AI tool — and leave no trace. The clipboard has become the most unmonitored data channel in the enterprise, and most security teams have not caught up.
Artificial intelligence changed this entirely. Before AI tools existed, the clipboard was a utility — you moved text from one place to another and thought nothing of it. Now it is the primary interface between your real work and systems like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude. The more capable AI gets, the more you paste into it. Every session involves context, and context means pasting your actual documents, emails, contracts, and data. The clipboard processes an incomprehensible volume of sensitive content daily, with zero inspection and zero audit trail.
SILK is the clipboard layer that AI made necessary. It sits between what you copy and what you share — inspecting content before it moves, stripping what should not travel, and generating a documented audit record of everything it found. Entirely in your browser, with nothing ever sent to a server. Not because we promise not to look. Because the architecture makes it impossible.
