Gauge unapproved AI use in your org
Shadow AI is the use of AI tools that IT and security have not approved, and it is widespread and largely invisible. This tool estimates unapproved AI usage in your organisation based on survey inputs, so you can size a risk that is otherwise hidden.
Why shadow AI is a real risk
When employees use unapproved AI tools, confidential data may flow to services with unknown data practices, outside any policy or oversight. Because it is unsanctioned, it is invisible to the people responsible for managing risk, so the first step is estimating how much is happening. Survey-based estimation gives a sense of the scale, which is what justifies action, whether providing approved alternatives, training, or controls. Understanding the extent of shadow AI is how an organisation moves from denial to management.
Size the hidden risk
The tool runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste, prompts, outputs or documents, is uploaded, which matters when the input is sensitive AI data or your own content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is shadow AI?
The use of AI tools that IT and security have not approved, often with confidential data, outside any policy or oversight.
Why is it risky?
Because data may flow to services with unknown data practices, invisibly to those responsible for managing risk, since the use is unsanctioned.
How does the tool estimate it?
From survey inputs about tool use, producing an estimate of how much unapproved AI use is happening, which sizes an otherwise hidden risk.
What do I do with the estimate?
Use it to justify action, providing approved alternatives, training or controls, rather than leaving shadow AI unmanaged.
Is my input uploaded?
No. The estimate runs entirely in your browser.
