Tonic Textual
Tonic Textual detects sensitive data in text and files, then redacts or replaces it for safer AI, analytics, and document workflows.

In inglese
Tonic Textual scans unstructured data such as text, audio, documents, images, and spreadsheets to identify sensitive entities. It can redact values, replace them with synthetic values, preserve document formats, and support custom entity types.
Teams use it for AI training, RAG pipelines, LLM prompts, compliance workflows, and lower-environment testing. It is available as a cloud service or self-hosted deployment, with Python SDK and REST API access. Cloud usage is billed by words processed; enterprise deployment and support use custom pricing.
