Egoist Machines, a Y Combinator-backed startup, announced the imminent launch of AI Passport, a system to securely store and share personal data across AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, with a waitlist now open at ego.ist for a free version that will be generally available later this Summer. A 2025 survey found that 82 percent of consumers see AI data loss-of-control as a serious personal threat. AI Passport allows users to establish connections to apps such as email, calendar, and productivity tools; when a user shares new information with an app, it syncs to the user’s Inbox, where they can review it and decide to share it with other apps, keep it only in the original app, or delete it entirely. Co-founder & CEO Erin McGurk stated that until now, there has not been a permission-based system for sharing personal info with AI assistants, and that AI Passport gives users insight into what their assistants know. Connected apps can request information, and users can set sensible defaults, but sensitive info like dates-of-birth are never given out without explicit user permission.
