MailVeil is a Chrome extension that summarizes your Gmail emails with AI, while obfuscating personal information locally before it ever leaves your browser.
Four simple steps to get a private, AI-powered summary of any email.
Open any email in Gmail and click the MailVeil icon in the side panel.
Names, emails, phone numbers and addresses are replaced with placeholders locally in your browser.
Only the obfuscated text is sent to the AI. Your personal details never leave your device.
Read your summary and optionally restore the original names and details with one click.
Everything you need to stay on top of your inbox without compromising privacy.
A BERT-based NER model runs locally in your browser to detect names, organisations, and sensitive entities - no server required.
Get concise summaries highlighting key points, action items, deadlines, and decisions needed - in seconds.
Automatically extract and summarize text from PDF attachments, including table-aware extraction for timetables and menus.
Review exactly what the AI will see before any data leaves your browser. Full transparency, always.
Spotted something the AI missed? Select any text and mark it as a person, location, organisation, or contact detail.
After reading your summary, restore original names and details locally. The mapping never leaves your device.
Your sensitive data is protected at every step of the process.
Start for free. Upgrade when you need more.
MailVeil processes your email text locally in your browser to detect and replace personal information. Only the obfuscated version (with placeholders like [PER_1]) is sent to the AI for summarization. Your original email content is never transmitted to our servers.
MailVeil uses a combination of an on-device AI model (BERT NER), name dictionaries, and pattern matching to detect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, dates of birth, organisation names, and URLs.
No automated system is 100% perfect. That's why MailVeil offers a "Preview before sending" feature so you can review exactly what the AI will see, plus manual masking tools to catch anything the automation might miss. We recommend using these features for sensitive emails.
MailVeil uses Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash for summarization. The API is accessed through a paid tier, which means Google does not use the data sent to it for model training.
