Data Usage: Designs uploaded on Free/Pro plans may be used to fine-tune Uizard’s AI models, whereas Business/Enterprise customer data is not used for model training. Uizard explicitly states that free/Pro user designs (screens, wireframes, etc.) can be used to improve the AI, but Business/Enterprise designs are excluded. IP & Confidentiality: You retain ownership of your design artifacts, and Enterprise plans come with an AI data SLA to govern data usage and security. Uizard notes that output designs are non-exclusive and could be similar for different users (no guaranteed uniqueness). Pricing & Limits: Free plan allows 2 projects and 3 AI generations/month. Pro ($12/month) increases to 100 projects and 500 AI generations. Business ($39/month) has unlimited projects and 5,000 AI generations. Enterprise is custom-priced with unlimited generations and teams, plus features like “AI data SLA” (ensuring no data is used to train models). Enterprise Fit: Uizard’s Enterprise plan meets requirements – it keeps your designs private and out of model training, and provides contractual SLAs for data security. By contrast, using the Free/Pro tier in a hackathon would mean your design data could be leveraged to train Uizard’s AI. + +UX Pilot + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: UX Pilot allows commercial use on paid plans (Standard/Pro). Free accounts are for personal/non-commercial use only. Data Usage: UX Pilot explicitly does not train its AI models on your uploaded designs or confidential content. They may use anonymized usage data (e.g. click and navigation metrics) to improve the service, but your actual design outputs are not used for model training. IP & Confidentiality: Paid tiers grant you commercial usage rights for generated designs. The platform stores your designs in your workspace and supports private projects. Pricing & Limits: Standard Plan is ~$19/month and Pro ~$29/month, both including commercial rights and higher feature limits. They provide free credits for trial, and a free tier exists (with limited credits and non-commercial clause). Enterprise Fit: UX Pilot is enterprise-friendly – no customer design data is used for training AI, and paid plans ensure privacy (you can generate designs privately). For a hackathon, even a free trial would not expose your code or designs to model training, per their policy. + +Lovable (AI App Builder) + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Lovable is a no-code AI app builder designed for company use. Data Usage: By default, customer data may be used for model training, but Lovable provides opt-outs. Free/Pro plans: Customer data can be used to fine-tune Lovable’s AI unless you manually opt out by contacting support. Business/Enterprise plans: You have a workspace-level switch to opt out of any training-related data usage, ensuring proprietary code and projects are never used to train AI. (Opt-out is enabled by default for Enterprise workspaces.) Additionally, Lovable never uses raw personally identifiable info for training – any PII is anonymized if ever aggregated. IP & Confidentiality: You retain rights to your app artifacts. Lovable made private projects the default across plans (previously some projects were public by default, now all new projects can be private) – an important privacy update. Pricing & Limits: Free plan allows 5 daily AI credits (max 30/mo), while Pro ($25/mo for ~100 credits) and Business ($50/mo for ~100 credits, with SSO and data opt-out features) are credit-based. Enterprise plans are custom and include enhanced security (e.g. single-tenant or custom solutions). Enterprise Fit: With its data opt-out controls and private-by-default projects, Lovable can meet enterprise requirements so long as the Business/Enterprise tier is used and the “no training” setting is enabled. Using the Free/Pro tier would require requesting an opt-out to be safe, since otherwise your app’s code/content might feed their model improvements. + +Galileo AI + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Galileo AI generates UI designs from prompts, similar to Uizard/UX Pilot. Data Usage & Confidentiality: Galileo’s free and Starter plans raise concerns: the Free plan’s outputs are public, and even the paid Starter ($19/mo) initially had all designs viewable in a public gallery. Only the Pro plan ($39/mo) introduced a “Private mode” for designs. Enterprise plans include “Advanced data privacy”, meaning enterprise customers get unlimited generations and assurances of data confidentiality. Galileo hasn’t explicitly stated its training data policy publicly, but their Enterprise plan is designed to address privacy – they offer custom agreements and do not use enterprise customer designs for AI training (implied by the “advanced data privacy” feature). Output/IP: Galileo doesn’t claim ownership of your generated designs; you can use them commercially on paid plans. Pricing & Limits: Free: 10 design generations per month (all outputs public). Starter ($19/mo): 120 generations (still no privacy – designs still accessible to others). Pro ($39/mo): 300 generations + Private design mode. Enterprise: Custom pricing for unlimited generations, priority support, and private deployment options. Enterprise Fit: Galileo can meet enterprise requirements only on the Pro or Enterprise tier. At Pro/Enterprise, you can keep designs private and benefit from “advanced data privacy”, meaning your design data stays confidential. Caution: Using Galileo’s Free or Starter plan during a hackathon would not be safe for proprietary UI designs – those outputs would be visible to others and possibly leveraged by Galileo (all Starter designs are “seen by others” by default). Enterprise users should insist on the private mode or on-premise options to ensure no data leakage. + +Development Tools +GitHub Copilot + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: GitHub Copilot is available in individual and business tiers. Data Usage: Copilot for Business/Enterprise does not use your code snippets or prompts to train the AI model. Microsoft confirms that, by default, Copilot does not retain or use your code for improving the AI. In fact, personal settings no longer even allow opting into training – user data is simply not used for model training by default. Copilot Enterprise also supports an optional setting to block suggestions that match public code (to avoid inadvertent reuse of licensed code), which enterprises can enforce. Confidentiality: When you use Copilot in an IDE, your code context is sent to the Copilot service in real-time. Microsoft’s terms promise this data is handled securely and only stored transiently. Copilot for Business provides organization-level controls and audit logs, and no other users (or Microsoft engineers) see your private code. Pricing: Individuals pay $10/month (Copilot Pro), while Copilot Business is $19/user/month. There is also a higher Copilot Enterprise tier ($39/user/month) with greater “premium” usage allowances for advanced AI features. No free tier (aside from a 30-day trial or free access for certain student or OSS communities). Usage Limits: Copilot Enterprise includes a generous allowance of “AI requests” (and the option to increase it) for heavy use of chat and agents. Enterprise Fit: Copilot for Business/Enterprise meets enterprise requirements – it keeps customer code private (no training on your IP), and allows policy controls (disabling public code matches, etc.). Many enterprises use Copilot now that these privacy assurances are in place. For a hackathon, using Copilot is safe as long as you use it under an organization policy or the default settings – your code won’t be absorbed into Microsoft’s models. (In earlier versions, individual Copilot telemetry could be used to improve the product, but as of 2023, Copilot does not train on private or unpublished code by default.) + +JetBrains AI Assistant + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: JetBrains has integrated AI assistance into its IDEs (supports multiple models like OpenAI and others). Data Usage: JetBrains emphasizes developer privacy. By default, code context is sent to the chosen AI model (e.g. OpenAI) to generate completions or chats, but JetBrains does not store or use your code for its own model training. In fact, JetBrains’ team lead confirmed that neither JetBrains AI nor GitHub Copilot uses your code to train their base models – your code is only processed to produce the immediate result. For cloud models (GPT-4/3.5 via OpenAI), the data transmission is encrypted and OpenAI’s policy ensures API inputs are not used for training unless you opt in. JetBrains also provides an on-premises option (“AI you control”) – companies can self-host the AI model or use local models, ensuring code never leaves the environment. They even added a .noai file mechanism to allow organizations to disable AI features project-wide if needed. Data Retention: By default, JetBrains does not retain your code – the AI processing is stateless. Optional Telemetry: In early previews, JetBrains allowed an opt-in “detailed data collection” to send conversation snippets back to JetBrains for improving the feature, but this is off by default and meant for EAP (Early Access Program) users. Even when enabled, JetBrains stated that collected data is not shared with third parties nor used to train the AI model, only to improve product quality internally. They limit retention of any such telemetry to 12 months. Pricing: JetBrains AI Assistant is not free beyond a trial. They have introduced AI license tiers: AI Free (limited 3 credits/30 days) and paid tiers like AI Pro (~$100/year) and AI Ultimate (~$300/year), which grant monthly credit quotas for AI queries. Enterprise customers can get an AI Enterprise license with custom higher quotas and on-prem deployment. Usage Limits: The credit system means, for example, AI Pro gets ~10 AI credits/month (roughly 100 code generations), and AI Ultimate ~35 credits/month. Enterprise can negotiate more. Enterprise Fit: JetBrains AI is designed with enterprise needs in mind – you can deploy it on-prem for full control, or use it via cloud with assurance that your code is not retained or used to train models. For maximum safety, an enterprise can restrict AI features to only local models. During a hackathon, using JetBrains AI (with default settings) will send code to OpenAI’s API (under the hood) but OpenAI will not train on it, and JetBrains will not store it. If that’s acceptable under your policy (similar to using Copilot), it’s safe to use. Otherwise, one could disable it or use the .noai flag to ensure no cloud calls are made. + +Google Gemini (and Codey via Vertex AI) + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Google’s Gemini is a next-gen foundation model (part of Google’s AI offerings, likely accessed via Google Cloud Vertex AI or Workspace). For enterprises, the key interface would be Vertex AI’s generative services (which include models like PaLM Codey and eventually Gemini). Data Usage: Google Cloud commits not to use customer data for training its models without permission. As outlined in Google’s Service Terms, any prompts or code you send to Vertex AI models will not be used to improve or retrain the AI unless you explicitly opt in. This training restriction covers all managed models, including Gemini. Data Retention: By default, Google does not store your prompts or outputs permanently. For Vertex AI, zero-data-retention modes are possible – the default is that prompts may be cached briefly (e.g. 24 hours for abuse monitoring) but then deleted. Google Cloud has strict data handling: e.g., no prompt or code data is kept beyond 30 days in worst case, and you can often request even shorter retention or none at all. (Notably, Google’s consumer AI (Bard) uses chat data for training unless disabled, but enterprise use via Vertex follows cloud privacy standards). Compliance: Google’s generative AI services are SOC 2 compliant and allow data residency choices. Pricing: Google Vertex AI is usage-based (no flat free tier, but free credits are usually provided). For example, code generation requests might be billed per 1,000 tokens. (Precise pricing for Gemini is evolving; Google Cloud’s pricing page shows per-unit costs for text input/output). Enterprises can negotiate committed-use discounts. Enterprise Fit: Using Google’s AI via Vertex is very safe for enterprise code – Google explicitly states it won’t use your code or customer data to train models. Many enterprises trust Google Cloud for AI because of these guarantees and the ability to store all data in specific regions under strict access controls. Before using Gemini/Codey in the hackathon, ensure you use it through an enterprise-managed project (to have those default protections) rather than a consumer account. With that, it’s as secure as using any other Google Cloud service – code stays confidential and ephemeral. + +Continue.dev (Open-Source Code Assistant) + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Continue is an open-source VS Code extension that lets you chat with an AI about your code. It can be configured to use either cloud AI providers or local models. Data Usage: Continue gives you full control: if you choose a Local configuration, your code and prompts never leave your machine – ideal for strict confidentiality. Alternatively, you can use their Hub (cloud) configuration for convenience, which might route requests through Continue’s cloud or directly to an API like OpenAI. In Hub mode, your code context is sent out to the model (e.g. OpenAI), but Continue’s maintainers state that even then, they do not store your code beyond what’s necessary to serve the request. (One security report did flag a past issue where the extension unexpectedly called Copilot’s API, but that has been addressed; always verify your Continue settings to ensure it’s using only the providers you intend.) Confidentiality: Because it’s open source, enterprises can audit the Continue code. You can even self-host any backend if needed. Continue also has a “hybrid” mode – e.g. use local open-source models for sensitive code, and cloud models for less sensitive tasks, as you prefer. Pricing: Continue is free to use. There is no official paid tier – any costs come from whichever AI API you connect (OpenAI API keys, etc.) or from running your own model. Usage Limits: No inherent limits; if using OpenAI via Continue, you’re bound by OpenAI’s rate limits, otherwise local models depend on your compute. Enterprise Fit: Continue can meet enterprise requirements if configured correctly. For maximum safety, run it with a local LLM (like an open-source model via Ollama) so nothing leaves your environment. This would be safe to use on a sensitive codebase (the trade-off is potentially weaker AI capabilities compared to cloud models). If you do connect it to a cloud AI, ensure that AI (OpenAI, etc.) has an enterprise agreement or known privacy policy (OpenAI’s API, for example, won’t train on your inputs by default). Continue itself doesn’t use your data for training – it’s essentially a client tool. In a hackathon, Continue could be a great choice since you can point it at an internal codebase and even use a local model, guaranteeing no code exposure. + +Testing Tools +Applitools + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Applitools is an AI-powered visual testing platform widely used by enterprises for UI regression tests. Data Usage: When using Applitools Eyes (the cloud service), your application’s screenshots and DOM snapshots are uploaded to Applitools’ cloud for comparison. However, Applitools treats all test artifacts as confidential customer data. They do not use your app’s images or test results to train any AI outside of improving the service for you. (Applitools’ visual AI is trained on synthetic and public data – not on specific customer screens, according to their team’s statements.) Data Retention: Applitools’ enterprise customers have a 12-month data retention period for test results by default – your screenshots, test logs, etc., are stored up to 1 year (or shorter if you configure it), then deleted. Starter plan customers have 6-month retention. If you terminate the service, your data may be wiped immediately or after a short grace period. Confidentiality & IP: All test data is considered Customer Confidential Information. Applitools’ terms affirm that test outputs (images, DOM data) belong to you, and they only use them to provide the service. They also claim aggregated usage stats (like average checkpoint counts) might be used to improve the platform, but individual test content is not exposed. Enterprise contracts often include a DPA (Data Processing Addendum) for GDPR compliance. Security Measures: Applitools is SOC2 certified and uses encryption for data at rest and in transit. Each test runs in isolated cloud VMs. Free vs Paid: There is a 14-day free trial and an Open Source free plan (they offer free licenses to open-source projects). Paid Starter plans range from ~$699 to $969 per month (with fixed screenshot/checkpoint quotas). Enterprise plans are custom (often tens of thousands of dollars per year) and can even be a private cloud or on-prem deployment for maximum security. Usage Limits: For example, a Starter might allow 1,000 visual “checkpoints” (comparisons) per month per user. Enterprise plans can raise or remove such limits (unlimited checkpoints, multiple parallel test executions, etc.). Enterprise Fit: Applitools meets enterprise requirements. It’s built for enterprise QA teams – data is kept highly secure and not shared or used for any other purpose. Notably, Applitools’ Enterprise plan ensures your test data is stored privately (with options for a private SaaS instance or on-prem). Using Applitools in the hackathon is safe for your codebase: only screenshots/HTML of your UI are uploaded, and Applitools guarantees those are kept confidential. (If screenshots contain sensitive customer data, you might need a masking strategy – but Applitools provides ways to mask or ignore regions for privacy). In short, Applitools requires trust (as with any cloud testing tool), but it is designed with enterprise data protection in mind, and no indication that they leverage your test images to train any global AI model. + +Testim (Tricentis Testim) + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Testim is an AI-assisted test automation platform (now part of Tricentis). It allows recording and running functional UI tests. Data Usage: Testim operates as a cloud service (with a web IDE and test execution cloud). Your test cases (which include DOM element selectors, test steps, and optionally screenshots or test data) are stored on Testim’s servers. Testim does not use your application’s code or data to train general models – its “Smart Locators” AI is based on algorithms that run on the fly on your app’s DOM during tests, not on training using your app. The security whitepaper notes that all test data is treated as highly sensitive and transmitted securely. Confidentiality: Testim’s policy states they assume all customer data is “highly sensitive” and they encrypt all data at rest and in transit. After each test run, any recorded test artifacts (like screenshots or console logs) are available in your account, but never exposed to other users. They have strict access controls: only your team (and Testim support if you grant permission) can see your test projects. Data Retention: Test history (logs, screenshots) is stored in a secure cloud DB and available on your dashboard until you delete it. They haven’t published a fixed retention period, but enterprise customers can likely negotiate data retention durations. IP Ownership: You own the test scripts you create. If you leave, you can export them (Testim even has an option to export tests as code). Free vs Paid: Testim offers a Community free plan (after the trial, your account reverts to a limited free tier). The free Community plan has limited parallel test runs and likely a cap on the number of test cases. Paid plans are custom-priced (“Contact Us” for Web, Mobile, and Salesforce packages). A clue from their FAQ: the free Community plan is single-user and limited, whereas Team/Enterprise plans add features like test grids, integrations, and support. (A Reddit comment notes enterprise pricing around ~$20k/year for unlimited usage). Usage Limits: On free, you might be limited to 1 concurrent test, low monthly test executions, etc. Enterprise plans can include unlimited test runs on their cloud and many parallel executions. Enterprise Fit: Testim is enterprise-ready. It was built for Agile teams and includes features like SSO, role-based access, audit logs. Data is kept within your organization’s workspace. Importantly, Testim does not repurpose your test or application data for any AI training – its AI features (like self-healing locators) run on your data in real-time but do not feed that data into some global model. During the hackathon, you can safely use Testim to create and run tests on your codebase; none of your proprietary code is “exposed” beyond the fact that Testim’s cloud will process it during test execution (and they isolate each customer’s environment). If extremely sensitive, you could use their Private Cloud or on-premise option (Tricentis often offers on-prem for large customers). For quick hacking purposes, the cloud version is fine – just be aware it will see the front-end of your application to run tests, which is similar to any cloud-based test tool. + +Diffblue Cover + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Diffblue Cover is an AI tool that autonomously generates Java unit tests. It’s available as a local IDE plugin and as a server for enterprise. Data Usage: Diffblue’s approach is very enterprise-friendly: all test generation happens on your machine or a server under your control. No code is sent to Diffblue’s servers by default. In fact, Diffblue highlights that security-conscious teams can run Cover entirely on-premises, so the code never leaves the company environment. Even when using the Diffblue Cloud (for the VS Code/IntelliJ plugin’s community edition), the tool does not upload your source code for AI processing – Diffblue’s AI engine (reinforcement learning based) runs locally or in a provided Docker container. Model Training: Diffblue does not use customer code to train its AI. Their AI was trained on a large corpus of open-source Java projects. As their documentation states, “Cover can run entirely within your environment” and no snippets of your source code are shipped off for model training. IP & Confidentiality: The generated test code is yours to use (and modify). Diffblue doesn’t claim any rights over your code or tests. For enterprise, Cover can be installed behind your firewall (they offer a CLI and CI integration for on-prem use). If Diffblue ever collects telemetry (e.g. usage statistics or error reports), it would be anonymized. Diffblue’s website explicitly touts on-premise AI as a solution for organizations prioritizing confidentiality. Pricing: Diffblue Cover has a Community Edition (free) – limited to 25 methods tested per month. The Developer Plan is $30/month (or $330/year) for individuals, allowing ~100 methods per month (with options to pay more for higher limits). The Teams Plan is ~$30k/year, which includes unlimited tests for codebases up to 250K lines, CI integration, reporting dashboards, etc.. Enterprise Plan is custom-priced for very large codebases and includes features like Cover Optimize (smart test selection) and enterprise support. Usage Limits: In practice, the enterprise version can generate tests for an entire large project (millions of lines) – it might run overnight on a big codebase but with no arbitrary limit on number of tests. The only “limits” are method count caps on the smaller plans. Enterprise Fit: Diffblue Cover fully meets enterprise requirements. It was designed for Fortune-500 banks and similar – it runs on-prem, does not send code out for processing, and does not learn from your proprietary code. Using Diffblue in a hackathon is safe: you can run the IntelliJ plugin on your repo and it will churn out unit tests without any cloud dependency (for the paid or community edition). Even the cloud-licensed versions only send minimal info (like license checks) to Diffblue. This means your codebase remains protected. In summary, Diffblue offers strong IP protection (keep everything local) and can significantly speed up testing without exposing code. + +Equally AI + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Equally AI is an accessibility platform (recently acquired by AudioEye) that uses AI to help make websites compliant (adding alt-text, fixing HTML, etc.). Data Usage: Equally AI’s solution (called Flowy for automated fixes and an accessibility widget) collects minimal data from your website. According to their privacy statement, when their script runs on your site it gathers things like image URLs, link URLs, page structure, and user interaction data. Importantly, it explicitly does not collect page text or form field data, and the data it does collect “does not contain any Personal Information of any user and cannot be linked to any user”. This suggests that Equally AI’s AI algorithms (for generating alt text or remediation) might analyze images and code on the fly but are not logging sensitive content. Model Training: Equally AI does not indicate anywhere that it uses customer websites to train its models. The accessibility fixes are likely driven by rules and some AI vision for image recognition, trained on public datasets. They even state, “Equally AI does not violate the privacy of our beneficiaries” and only uses data to identify users across devices for accessibility preferences. So, it appears they do not repurpose your site data for their own model training – data use is limited to providing the service (and perhaps aggregated compliance statistics). Confidentiality: Equally AI’s enterprise offering (AudioEye) often involves a contractual commitment not to expose customer content. The widget operates in the user’s browser, and the heavy lifting (like analyzing images for alt text) might call their cloud, but any such image analysis is transient. Given their focus on ADA compliance, they must be careful not to mishandle personal data on pages. IP: You remain the owner of your website content; Equally AI just overlays or fixes it. They don’t claim ownership of any AI-generated alt descriptions either. Pricing: Equally AI typically sells as a subscription per website or volume of pages. The exact pricing isn’t public (requires a demo), but they position themselves for enterprise compliance solutions. There is usually a free trial (7-day). AudioEye’s pricing tiers (to which Equally AI is now aligned) often include an Enterprise plan for large sites with custom pricing. Usage Limits: Lower tiers might cap the number of pages or fixes. Enterprise plans usually allow unlimited page views and continuous monitoring. Enterprise Fit: Equally AI is suitable for enterprise, especially now under AudioEye which serves large customers. It respects customer data privacy: it doesn’t store content or user data beyond what’s needed for accessibility corrections. For your hackathon, using Equally’s accessibility scanner/widget is low risk – it will scan your web app for issues, but no customer data or source code leaves beyond structural info. It won’t expose your codebase (only front-end elements which are likely not secret). And it won’t feed any proprietary info into an AI – the AI is used to suggest fixes and descriptions in real-time. The main consideration is that it injects an overlay on your site for end-users (some enterprises prefer more manual fixes for complete control). But from a privacy perspective, Equally AI is designed to be compliant and not share data, so it meets enterprise standards. + +BrowserStack + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: BrowserStack is a cloud platform for cross-browser and mobile app testing, heavily used by enterprises. Data Usage: When you use BrowserStack, you are essentially using their browsers/devices in the cloud. Your tested application or website data is not persisted on those machines beyond the test session. Each test session runs on a fresh VM or physical device, and upon session end, the environment is wiped clean. This includes clearing all browsing data: cache, cookies, local storage, screenshots, logs – everything is erased. BrowserStack guarantees that they have no mechanism to view or store your application’s content from the test beyond ephemeral logs you see. In their own words: “We do not have any mechanism to view or store your browsing data. All data is wiped out as soon as the session ends.”. Confidentiality: During a live or automated test, only you can see the screen of the remote browser. Even BrowserStack admins cannot “spy” on your live session. (They could assist by joining a session for support, but only if you explicitly share a debug link.) For automation, test screenshots and console logs are collected, but those are stored in your account only. By default, test artifacts (screenshots, videos, logs) are kept in your account history, which is secure and accessible only to your team (and can be deleted anytime). BrowserStack maintains SOC2 compliance and implements strict customer data segregation – each customer’s tests run in isolated containers. Model Training: BrowserStack does not have any AI model that trains on your test data. (They do have some AI features like AutoWait, etc., but those are algorithmic and not using customer data as training input – more like coded heuristics.) Security Features: For enterprise, they offer “Private Devices” and “Custom Device Lab” – you can have dedicated devices/VPC for additional security. They also support SSO, access controls, and IP whitelisting. Pricing: BrowserStack has a free trial and paid plans. Typical pricing is by parallel sessions and user seats. For example, a Team plan might be ~$299/month for 5 parallel tests. Enterprise plans are custom (they can be six-figure annual deals depending on scale). Usage Limits: On standard plans, you get a fixed number of parallel test threads and perhaps user licenses. Enterprise plans allow more parallels, integrations, and premium support. There’s generally no limit on testing minutes (except fair use or extremely high volume, where you’d discuss a custom plan). Enterprise Fit: BrowserStack is built for enterprise and meets strict requirements. It’s used by banks, healthcare, etc., precisely because of its strong security posture. No test data persists or is used beyond your sessions – each test environment resets, ensuring one customer’s data never leaks to another. They also do not inspect your app under test; they only facilitate your connection to it. In the hackathon context, using BrowserStack is safe: you might upload your mobile app build to test on devices – that APK/IPA is automatically deleted after the test, and no one else can access it. Similarly, if you test an internal staging site via their secure Local Tunnel, that traffic is end-to-end encrypted and not stored (the Local binary just pipes it through). BrowserStack’s security and privacy documentation explicitly addresses these concerns, giving confidence that code and data remain confidential. + +Virtuoso QA + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Virtuoso is an AI-driven end-to-end testing platform (natural language test authoring, self-healing, etc.). They market themselves as an “AI-Native Enterprise Testing” solution. Data Usage: When you use Virtuoso, you’ll be authoring tests (in plain English or Gherkin style) and running them against your application. These tests and results are stored in Virtuoso’s cloud. Importantly, Virtuoso’s policy states they may use customer data for improving their AI. In their Acceptable Usage Policy, Virtuoso (SpotQA) says: “We reserve the right to use the data we hold on you for internal research purposes... to perform statistics on data and use it (anonymized) in training machine learning models.”. This means your test data (and potentially some metadata of your app under test) could feed their AI model training, albeit in anonymized form. For example, they might learn common test steps or element locators from all customers to improve their self-healing algorithm. This is a key difference: Virtuoso is explicitly opt-out rather than opt-in on this front. Enterprises should negotiate this in the contract if it’s a concern (e.g. ensure a clause to disable using their data in training). Confidentiality: Aside from the AI training aspect, Virtuoso does stress privacy and security. They are SOC2 Type II compliant and use encryption (SSL) for data in transit. They isolate customer environments and allow on-premise bridge agents (so you can run tests against internal systems securely through a tunnel). Virtuoso employees may access your account data only for support purposes and with read-only access unless you give explicit write access. Credentials & Sensitive Data: If you store secrets (passwords, tokens) in tests, those values may be visible to your org members in Virtuoso, and they are encrypted at rest on Virtuoso’s side. You must ensure you’re comfortable entering them (they warrant you have authorization to use any test credentials on their platform). Model Training Impact: The fact that anonymized test data can be used to train their AI means if you write, say, a test scenario for your proprietary workflow, Virtuoso’s models might learn patterns from it (but supposedly without identifying it’s from your company). This might raise IP concerns for very sensitive workflows. Pricing: Virtuoso is typically sold as an enterprise SaaS. They likely have custom pricing (no public prices). Possibly costs are based on number of test executions or projects. No free tier, but they often offer demos or pilots. Usage Limits: Usually unlimited test runs, but you pay per user or per execution thread. They tout “95% self-healing” and high productivity, which is their value rather than limiting usage. Enterprise Fit: Virtuoso requires a closer look for enterprise due to its data usage policy. On the plus side, it provides enterprise features (SSO, role management, integrations) and is designed for enterprise scale. It will keep your actual test results and data secure from external parties. However, the fact that Virtuoso may train on your test scenarios (even anonymously) means an extra layer of approval might be needed. If your policy says “no customer data to be used in AI training,” Virtuoso’s default practice would violate that – you’d need to get an exemption or contractually disable that. In a hackathon, using Virtuoso is technically safe (your codebase is accessed only via the tests you write, and that’s in a secure cloud). Just be aware that by using it, you agree your test data can contribute to Virtuoso’s AI learning. If that’s not acceptable, you’d skip Virtuoso or ask them if they can opt-out your account. All other security aspects (encryption, SOC2, etc.) are solid, so the main flag is the training usage. + +Security Tools +Snyk + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Snyk is a developer security platform (covering open source dependencies, container security, infrastructure as code, and SAST via Snyk Code). It’s widely used in enterprises and has robust privacy controls. Data Usage: Snyk does not use your proprietary code or dependency data to train its AI or vulnerability database. Snyk’s own documentation explicitly states that Snyk Code (their static code analysis) does not use any customer code for engine training or to extract fix examples. The AI model they use for code fix suggestions is trained only on public open-source code with permissive licenses. Additionally, Snyk Open Source (dependency scanner) doesn’t send your actual source code to Snyk – it transmits manifests (pom.xml, package.json, etc.) or file signatures, not full code, except in certain opt-in cases for advanced analysis. For example, if you enable an add-on like Reachable Vulnerabilities, Snyk will temporarily ingest your repo to build a call graph, but deletes the code right after analysis (keeping only the graph). Generally, vulnerability scanning is done by matching dependencies and known CVEs, so your code isn’t needed or stored. Data Retention & Security: Snyk caches some data (like scan results) briefly – by default, code snapshots for Snyk Code are cached for 24-48 hours (depending on cloud region) due to cloud storage policy, then purged. After scanning, Snyk Code retains only issue locations and metadata, not the code itself. All data is handled under SOC2 standards. Snyk is also ISO27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Confidentiality: Snyk segregates customer data; e.g., for Snyk Code each analysis is isolated and they ensure no mix-up between customers’ code. If you integrate Snyk with your GitHub, Snyk asks for minimal read permissions. IP Ownership: You own your code and any Snyk-generated reports. Snyk’s vulnerability database is theirs, but it’s built from public data. Pricing: Snyk has a free plan for small usage (limited tests per month or limited project count). Paid plans scale by number of developers or projects. Enterprise plans are custom – often $** per developer per year, with enterprise features (on-prem options, dedicated support). Usage Limits: The free tier might allow a certain number of scans or tests. Enterprise tier is effectively unlimited, within contract scope. Snyk Code scans might be limited in number of lines or repos on lower tiers. On Enterprise, you can scan thousands of repos continuously. Enterprise Fit: Snyk is extremely enterprise-friendly – it’s one of their core selling points. They explicitly address data privacy concerns: customer code is not used to train our ML models and code sent to the cloud is immediately purged after scanning. Many large companies use Snyk SaaS, and for those who are wary, Snyk also offers Broker proxies and even on-premise variants (for certain products) to keep data in-house. Using Snyk in the hackathon is low-risk: if you run Snyk Open Source, it will upload just your dependency list (to check for vulns), which is fine. If you run Snyk Code (SAST), it will send code to Snyk’s servers for analysis, but that code is encrypted in transit and then deleted right after scanning. And crucially, none of it goes into model training or is seen by humans. So Snyk meets the policy of “no customer data reused”. It’s safe to expose your codebase to Snyk’s scanners, given these guarantees. + +Aikido Security + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Aikido Security is a platform that offers AI-powered pentesting and code/cloud security. It’s relatively new (and well-funded), positioning as a “developer-first” security tool. Data Usage: Aikido scans your source code and cloud configurations to find vulnerabilities and even conducts AI-driven pentests. Handling of code/data: Aikido’s trust center emphasizes privacy – they have a Trust Center and claim to be GDPR compliant by design. When Aikido scans your code, it likely uses a combination of static analysis and AI agent simulation. They haven’t publicly stated if they train AI on customer data. However, given their open stance on GDPR, it’s likely that they do not use customer code or findings for training without consent. It’s worth noting Aikido’s website highlights “AI at Aikido – Let Aikido AI do the work”, but also provides on-prem options for customers who need data control. Based on industry practices (similar to Snyk), one can infer Aikido’s AI models are trained on public vulnerability data, not private customer code. Additionally, Aikido’s Privacy Policy mostly discusses personal data (contact info, etc.) and states they don’t sell data and only share with third-parties to deliver services. It doesn’t explicitly mention training data usage – which usually means they are not using it beyond service provision (any such use would be disclosed due to GDPR requirements). Confidentiality: Aikido likely segregates each customer’s data. They have multi-region hosting and emphasize security in marketing. They probably offer an on-prem or private cloud deployment for sensitive orgs (since pentesting can be sensitive). IP Ownership: You maintain ownership of your code and pentest results. Aikido just provides findings and reports. Pricing: Aikido has a free tier for students/open-source (they mention “Students get Aikido free”) and likely a trial for companies. Paid plans might be per app or a platform subscription. (They just raised funds, so they’re scaling pricing now.) Usage Limits: Not clear, but possibly limits on number of pentests or code scans in lower tiers. Enterprise plans probably allow continuous scanning of many apps. Enterprise Fit: Aikido appears enterprise-friendly, but as a newer tool, enterprises should vet the details. Assuming they follow their GDPR-centric policy, they will not use customer data to train their AI without permission – and there’s no indication they do. (In absence of a contrary statement, we lean on the safe side.) They even have a “Privacy Officer” listed to contact for any concerns, which is a good sign. For a hackathon, using Aikido would involve connecting it to your code repository and cloud – which means giving it read access. Provided you trust their security (SOC2 likely in progress) and the above privacy stance, it’s safe. The only caution: since Aikido’s core is “AI pentesting agents”, it may temporarily store some metadata about your app (like endpoint patterns or exploit paths) to inform its agents. But those would be kept internal to your account. No evidence suggests Aikido shares or reutilizes your specific vulnerabilities in training sets – they more likely aggregate vulnerability trend data in an anonymized way (as most security platforms do). In conclusion, with Aikido you’d enjoy AI-driven security testing without exposing your code beyond the secure analysis – they state customer privacy is a top priority. It should meet the “no customer code for training” rule (though it’s wise to get written confirmation). + +Escape (AI Pentesting by Escape Tech) + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Escape is an AI-driven Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tool focusing on API and web app pentesting. It integrates into CI/CD and uses AI agents to find logic flaws. Data Usage: Using Escape involves either connecting it to your running application (it will crawl and attack your app) or possibly providing an API definition. No source code needed – it works from the outside (much like a traditional pentest). Thus, your code isn’t directly uploaded. It will generate and store attack traffic, logs, and any discovered data. Model Training: Escape hasn’t published a policy on using test results for training. Since it’s scanning black-box, there’s less “customer intellectual property” involved beyond possibly your API patterns. Still, we assume Escape does not use your specific app data in training without permission, as they position as an enterprise security vendor (similar to how automated scanners might aggregate vulnerability stats but not share your app specifics). Escape’s marketing is all about fitting into modern stacks with AI – they likely train their AI on synthetic apps and known vulnerabilities, not on private app traffic (which could contain sensitive data). They have a comparison of AI pentest tools where they tout multi-region and “private deployment” options, implying you can run Escape in a way that data stays in certain zones. Confidentiality: The pentest results (screenshots, exploit payloads) are for your eyes only on the dashboard. Escape’s features like coverage screenshots and logs are stored but accessible only to your team. They likely provide NDAs and strong security if doing managed pentests. IP Concerns: Since Escape interacts with your app, one concern is if it uses some of your application’s responses or data to improve its attack models globally. There’s no statement they do that. They’re more likely to update their AI with general vulnerability techniques not specific to any one customer’s data. Pricing: Escape appears to be enterprise-focused with likely a subscription per application or a usage-based model (e.g. $X per month for continuous testing of Y apps). Possibly a free trial or free scan of a small app. Usage Limits: Might limit number of endpoints tested on a lower tier or frequency of scans. Enterprise likely unlimited scanning. Enterprise Fit: Escape seems enterprise-ready, offering on-prem or at least single-tenant deployments (the mention of “multi-region hosting” and likely ability to run in a customer’s environment if needed). No red flags on privacy have been noted in community discussions. Given it’s DAST, it deals mostly with your app’s externally observable behavior rather than internal code or data, which reduces privacy risk. For a hackathon, using Escape is safe – you’d spin it up to hit your test environment. It won’t expose your code (just your app’s HTTP endpoints). Ensure the app tested isn’t production with real customer data (standard pentest caution). And treat any data Escape finds as sensitive (if it finds a vuln leaking data, that stays within your control). In summary, Escape does not expose your codebase, and there’s no indication it reuses your app’s unique data for training AI agents. It provides AI pentesting “as a service” without leaking info – aligning with enterprise needs to keep security findings confidential. + +Vendavo AI + +Enterprise Use & Privacy: Vendavo is an enterprise pricing and CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) software provider. “Vendavo AI” likely refers to AI features within their pricing optimization suite. This tool is a bit different from others on the list – it’s not about code or testing, but about analyzing business data (prices, revenue, etc.). Data Usage: If you use Vendavo’s AI, you would input your company’s transactional and product data to get price optimization insights. Vendavo, being an enterprise B2B vendor, follows strict confidentiality: customer data (prices, costs, etc.) is not shared or used to train a model across clients. Typically, any AI model they provide to a client is either a generic model trained on industry data or a bespoke model trained on that client’s own data. They are bound by contracts to not mix data between customers. IP & Confidentiality: Your pricing data and resulting models are considered your confidential information. Vendavo’s terms (based on typical enterprise SaaS) would say they won’t use your data except to provide the service. Vendavo historically even offers on-premise deployments for customers highly sensitive about data. Model Training: Vendavo might use aggregated market data or public economic data to enhance its AI recommendations, but they will not feed your company’s sales data into a global model accessible by others. If Vendavo AI has a learning component, it would likely be isolated per customer tenant or explicitly opt-in. Compliance: Vendavo deals with many Fortune 1000 companies, so they comply with data protection laws and often sign DPAs restricting data usage. Pricing (Vendavo): Vendavo’s solutions are expensive enterprise software, typically not usage-based but rather subscription plus possibly a percentage of value. For a short hackathon, pricing is not relevant since Vendavo AI wouldn’t be something you spin up ad-hoc. Usage Limits: Not applicable – it’d be limited by whatever license arrangement. Enterprise Fit: Vendavo’s AI features meet enterprise requirements as they treat all input data as highly confidential customer data (e.g., no sharing between clients, no usage beyond delivering predictions to that client). In a hackathon context, Vendavo AI might not be the easiest to “test” in two days (since it requires integration with pricing data). But if it were available, you could safely input some dummy business data and be confident it stays self-contained. Vendavo’s business is built on trust – their biggest customers would not tolerate any data leakage, so their AI adherence to policy “no customer data leaves or trains external models” is strong. For completeness: Vendavo recently acquired an AI company (Realtime) to bolster AI – any model training done will use either public datasets or anonymized pooled data with permission. But by default, they won’t feed your proprietary data into a global AI. Thus, Vendavo AI poses no risk to codebase exposure (it doesn’t touch code) and is aligned with enterprise data privacy standards. + +Summary: Enterprise-Safe vs. Use with Caution + +In conclusion, most of the listed tools meet enterprise requirements regarding privacy and data handling, provided the correct tier or settings are used: + +Safe to use (no customer code/data used for vendor’s model training): UX Pilot, GitHub Copilot (Business), JetBrains AI, Google Vertex AI, Continue.dev (with local models), Applitools (enterprise), Testim (with standard cloud security, no training usage), Diffblue Cover, BrowserStack, Snyk, Aikido Security (follows GDPR, no evidence of training on customer code), Escape (no code required, no training on your app), Vendavo AI (data kept in silo for each customer). These tools either do not send your code/data out at all, or if they do (for analysis), they do not reuse it to improve their AI models – they either use public data for training or simply don’t perform model learning on customer content. This makes them suitable for our hackathon and beyond. + +Use with caution / clarify policies: Uizard and Lovable on free plans – they will use your designs for training their models unless you’re on enterprise or opt out. If we use these, we should either stick to Enterprise trials or ensure an opt-out so our UI designs/code are not retained. Galileo AI – avoid using the Free/Starter tier with proprietary designs (outputs are public); only use it if we have a way to enforce private mode (Pro or Enterprise). Virtuoso – their default terms allow anonymized customer data to train their ML. This is a red flag relative to our policy. We’d need to get assurance (or a setting) from Virtuoso to disable that, or otherwise avoid feeding it truly sensitive scenarios. OpenAI’s consumer services (like ChatGPT) – not on the list, but worth noting: those would use inputs for training, so we’d avoid those and stick to enterprise APIs where data isn’t used. + +For any tool where we had to assume policies (Aikido, Escape, etc.), we will engage procurement/security review to verify no customer data is used outside our instance. For hackathon expediency, we’ll focus on the tools in the “safe” category and use enterprise-grade plans or trials. Any tool falling in the “caution” category will be flagged for a deeper procurement discussion before use – for instance, Virtuoso QA requires such discussion because of its data training clause, and Uizard/Galileo require using their enterprise mode to be safe. + +By following these guidelines, we can confidently experiment with these AI tools during hack days without exposing our codebase or customer data in undesirable ways. Each chosen tool’s privacy stance is backed by the cited policies above, ensuring we both innovate quickly and uphold our company’s AI data policy. + +Sources: Uizard Terms, UX Pilot FAQ, Lovable Docs, Banani on Galileo, GitHub Copilot Docs, DevClass on JetBrains, Maze Help Center, Diffblue FAQ, Virtuoso ASUP, Snyk User Docs, BrowserStack Security Whitepaper. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/evaluation_design_galileoai.md b/evaluation_design_galileoai.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5f05a46 --- /dev/null +++ b/evaluation_design_galileoai.md @@ -0,0 +1,126 @@ +# Galileo AI -
