In one sentence: PCCI lets you use AI through the same API you already know — but nobody, including us, can see your data. Not our servers, not our staff, not the infrastructure provider. The hardware itself enforces this, and you can verify it cryptographically.
The Problem
When you use an AI API today, your data — prompts, files, conversations — travels through servers you don’t control. The provider can read everything. Even with HTTPS, your data sits in plaintext on their infrastructure once it arrives. For many teams, this is acceptable. But if you work with patient records, financial data, legal documents, trade secrets, or any information that regulations or common sense say should stay private — standard AI APIs require a leap of faith. PCCI removes the leap of faith.What PCCI Does
PCCI (Prem Confidential Compute Infrastructure) gives you the same AI capabilities you’d get from any OpenAI-compatible API but with a fundamental difference: your data is encrypted from end to end, and processing happens inside tamper-proof hardware that nobody can access.Encrypted in Transit
Data is encrypted on your device before it leaves. The network only carries scrambled bytes.
Encrypted at Rest
Files and keys are stored encrypted. No plaintext ever touches our storage.
Encrypted in Use
Processing happens inside hardware-sealed environments called Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Even someone with physical access to the server cannot extract your data.
How It Compares
| Standard AI API | PCCI | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can see your data? | The provider, their staff, potentially their cloud host | Only you |
| What if the server is compromised? | Your data is exposed | Attacker sees only encrypted bytes |
| How do you know it’s private? | You trust the provider’s privacy policy | You verify it with hardware-signed cryptographic proof |
| What about future threats? | Vulnerable if quantum computers break current encryption | Protected today by quantum-resistant algorithms |
| What about the cloud provider? | They can inspect server memory | Hardware isolation prevents this, regardless of who owns the machine |
| API compatibility | OpenAI-compatible | Same OpenAI-compatible interface — no rewrite needed |
Who Is This For?
Regulated Industries
Healthcare, finance, legal, and government organizations that must meet HIPAA, GDPR, nFDAP, SOC 2, or internal compliance mandates when using AI.
AI Application Builders
Development teams building products on LLMs who need to guarantee data privacy to their users — without building custom infrastructure.
Security-First Organizations
Any team where data privacy is a hard technical requirement, not a policy checkbox. Where “we promise we won’t look” isn’t good enough.
Enterprises with Sensitive IP
Companies that want to use AI for internal documents, proprietary code, or strategic planning — without exposing that information to third parties.
What You Can Do Today
PCCI is a drop-in replacement for OpenAI-compatible APIs. If you’ve used ChatGPT, GPT-4, or any OpenAI-compatible service, you already know the interface. Everything works the same way — just encrypted:- Chat with AI models — Streaming conversations, multi-step reasoning, tool use
- Transcribe and translate audio — Upload recordings, get text back
Getting Started
Whether you’re a developer integrating PCCI into an application or evaluating it for your organization, the path is straightforward: Already using Python, Go, or another language? The SDK includes a local proxy server — point your existing OpenAI client at it, and encryption happens transparently. Zero code changes.What to Read Next
