Key Differences
- •MyYaad uses realistic shadow values (fake names, addresses, numbers) that keep AI responses coherent and useful. Caviard uses [REDACTED] placeholders that often confuse AI models.
- •MyYaad supports 6 AI providers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Grok). Caviard primarily supports ChatGPT and DeepSeek.
- •MyYaad automatically de-shadows AI responses — replacing shadow values back with your real data. Caviard does not offer response restoration.
- •Caviard detects 100+ PII entity types, which is broader than MyYaad's current 50+ detectors. However, MyYaad's vault-based matching catches context-specific data that regex alone misses.
- •MyYaad includes a persistent AES-256-GCM encrypted vault. Caviard does not store or manage personal data — it only detects and redacts in real time.
