- ExpressAI ensures that user data cannot be collected or accessed by anyone
- Confidential computing enclaves isolate AI interactions from all access to infrastructure and vendors.
- Users can run the same prompt on multiple LLMs simultaneously
Artificial intelligence is increasingly used for tasks involving sensitive personal and professional information.
ExpressVPN announced ExpressAI, an AI platform that it says is built around a single principle: user data should not be collected.
The company ties this principle directly to its long-standing VPN architecture, including its professional VPN services, where traffic is designed to remain inaccessible even to the provider itself.
Data Processing Issues and Company Rationale
ExpressAI is designed as an extension of this same approach into conversational AI and file-based interactions.
“With ExpressAI, ExpressVPN effectively extends its long-standing position in traffic protection to AI interactions: the best way to protect user data is not to collect it in the first place,” said Shay Peretz, COO at ExpressVPN.
The goal is to offer AI capabilities without requiring users to give up privacy for convenience.
ExpressVPN says many users already rely on AI tools for personal matters that would normally require privacy.
“People are already turning to AI for high-stakes personal conversations, ranging from health matters to financial decisions. Whether you’re accessing a bank account online or discussing private matters with a professional, you expect strong privacy protections. But these protections don’t automatically apply to everyday discussions with AI,” said Shay Peretz, COO at ExpressVPN.
“This gap has left many users worried about how their data is being handled. ExpressAI was designed to completely eliminate this fear, proving that private, trustworthy AI is not a promise of the future, it is available today.”
Therefore, user prompts and files are not accessible to anyone, including company personnel or infrastructure operators.
It relies on confidential computing enclaves, a technical method that isolates data during processing.
This ensures that conversations can only be decrypted in a cryptographically protected environment, separate from the host system.
User input is not reused for training and downloaded files are processed in memory rather than stored on servers.
The platform supports multiple LLM options, allowing users to choose different models based on their needs.
A comparison view allows you to run the same prompt on multiple models at once, showing different outputs without merging the data.
The platform will soon be available via a standalone web app and is included with existing ExpressVPN subscriptions, with additional features reserved for higher tiers.
