Configure Bleep

  • Enter your license key when prompted
  • Install the CA certificate (required for AI traffic inspection)
  • Bleep automatically configures selective routing - only AI services are monitored
  • All other network traffic passes through completely untouched
4

Start Protecting

Bleep runs in the system tray and protects AI interactions automatically.

  • Bleep runs silently in your system tray - close the window and it keeps protecting
  • Make a request to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or any supported AI service
  • Sensitive data is automatically detected, blocked, or redacted based on your policies
  • View all detections in the admin dashboard in real-time

Test Your Setup

To verify Bleep is working, try sending a request with sensitive data:

# Open ChatGPT or Claude and paste this:
My API key is sk-test1234567890abcdef

Bleep should detect and block (or redact) the API key pattern. Check your dashboard to see the detection.
