- Private key model means only you can unlock your data.
Maple AI is a chat assistant designed for users who want the benefits of AI with control over their personal data.
During my tests, the AI models available on Maple were able to answer basic queries. However, the models failed when queried about topic that require accessing the web. For example, I asked it about GreyCoder.Com and got this answer from Llama 2.3 model:
GreyCoder is a website that offers a platform for developers to practice and improve their coding skills through a variety of challenges and exercises.
This is incorrect, here’s an better answer from Claude AI via Perplexity;
GreyCoder.com is a privacy-focused technology review site that provides guidance on how to stay private online and bypass internet restrictions. The site is run by an independent editor who tests and reviews privacy-respecting apps, VPNs, proxies, secure messengers, and tools for anonymous browsing, torrenting, Usenet, and seedboxes.
This is a great summary of the site.
If you want private AI interactions beyond the capabilities of these basic models, consider using Bearly AI instead. This service works by submitting your queries anonymousy to the latest advanced AI models.
Maple AI vs. Traditional AI Chatbots
Here’s how Maple stacks up against typical AI chat tools:
| Feature | Maple AI | Traditional AI Chatbots |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | End-to-end, open-source auditing | Often none, or partial |
| Data Mining | None | Frequent, for training/ads |
| Document/Image Upload | Encrypted, private | Frequently cloud-stored, mined |
| Device Sync | Secure between devices | May sync, not always encrypted |
| User Control | Private keys per user | Limited or no user control |

Privacy Model
The core of Maple’s privacy model is:
- End-to-end encryption: Conversations are encrypted from device to server, processed in-memory, and sent back without being exposed at any point.
- Open-source code and secure enclaves: Their enclave code is publicly auditable, letting anyone verify that the AI backend matches what’s promised.
- Zero data mining: Unlike most AI providers, Maple never mines user conversations for training or analytics.
- Device syncing: Encrypted syncing lets you move between desktop, web, or mobile apps, with your chat history staying private.
- Confidential uploads: You can safely upload documents and images for analysis or translation—all encrypted end-to-end with no leaks.
Maple is made using OpenSecret, an encrypted backend for developers. It automatically handles private keys, encrypted data sync, private AI.
