ObfusCat

ObfusCat: AI Code Assistant is a local-only code privacy solution that masks your private code before sending prompts to ChatGPT and unmasks the results locally. It keeps all processing on your machine, ensuring unmasked code never leaves your device. ObfusCat preserves syntax while obscuring semantic context, enabling safe AI-assisted coding tasks without exposing sensitive information.

How it works

• ObfusCat obfuscates your code prior to sending prompts to ChatGPT.
• ChatGPT returns a response which ObfusCat then unmasks back into readable form on your machine.
• All processing occurs locally; no unmasked code leaves your device.
• The obfuscation keeps syntax intact while concealing semantic meaning so AI models can provide accurate output without exposing secrets.

Use Cases

• Automated tests generation and maintenance: Generate and refine unit tests with AI while keeping source code private.
• Bug fixing: Get AI-assisted debugging guidance without leaking sensitive implementations.
• Code explanation: Obtain explanations of proprietary algorithms without sharing your actual code layout.
• Fine-grained code reviews and insights while maintaining confidentiality.
• Enterprise use: Tailored privacy features for teams and corporate environments.

How to Use ObfusCat

1. Install ObfusCat on your local machine or via the provided app/store.
2. Load or connect your codebase to ObfusCat.
3. Request AI assistance (e.g., generate tests, explain a function, fix a bug).
4. ObfusCat obfuscates the code, sends prompts to ChatGPT, receives responses, and unmasks them locally.
5. Copy the resulting code or explanations into your project.

Safety and Privacy

• All processing occurs locally; no raw code is transmitted externally.
• The tool emphasizes confidentiality and provides a mechanism to prevent semantic leakage to AI models.
• Business features offer additional controls for sensitive enterprise environments.
