overview

What is Rivault?

Rivault is a secure data vault tool developed by Hyulim that enables users of AI agents to securely store and provide sensitive personal and professional data. It ensures that users can authorize what agents can access while maintaining security and privacy through zero-knowledge encryption and one-tap authorization.

features

Key Features of Rivault

Rivault incorporates several features designed to secure sensitive data while facilitating its use by AI agents for task automation. These include end-to-end encryption and user-controlled access mechanisms.

  • Zero-knowledge encryption: Ensures Rivault servers only handle ciphertext, never gaining access to user data.
  • One-tap authorization: Users approve data release via Face ID or Passkey for each AI agent request.
  • Temporary access only: Data is provided to AI agents for the duration of a specific task.
  • Sensitive data redaction: Information is deterministically redacted after each task is completed.
  • User-controlled access permissions: Users explicitly authorize which AI agents can access specific data points.
  • Audit log of agent access: Provides a record of when and which agents accessed data.

use cases

Who Should Use Rivault?

Rivault is designed for individuals and teams who utilize AI agents for various tasks and require a secure method to manage and share sensitive information without compromising privacy. Its primary users are those concerned with data exposure in AI interactions.

  • Users of AI agents: Individuals and teams who need to securely manage sensitive data for AI agents.
  • Automating tasks requiring sensitive information: For tasks like restaurant reservations, home services, or form filling where personal details are needed.
  • Ensuring data privacy and redaction: For users who require sensitive information (e.g., passport numbers, credit card details, SSN) to be protected and removed after AI agent tasks.
  • Providing context to AI agents: For efficient and secure task execution without storing sensitive data in AI session logs.

how to use

How to Use Rivault

To use Rivault, users store their sensitive data in the encrypted vault and then authorize AI agents to access specific information for task completion. The process involves explicit user approval for each data release.

  • 1Create a Rivault account and set up your secure vault.
  • 2Store sensitive personal and professional data (e.g., payment details, addresses) within the zero-knowledge vault.
  • 3When an AI agent requires data for a task, Rivault sends an authentication request to the user.
  • 4Approve the data release using Face ID or a Passkey.
  • 5The AI agent accesses the authorized data to complete the task.
  • 6Rivault ensures the data is deterministically redacted after the task is completed.

pricing

Rivault Pricing & Plans

Rivault offers a freemium model with two distinct plans: Basic and Pro. The Basic plan provides core functionality for limited use, while the Pro plan expands capabilities for more extensive data storage.

  • Basic Plan: Free. Includes up to 10 items in the vault, one-tap authorization approval, an audit log of agent access, and secure storage and encryption.
  • Pro Plan: $9.90 per month. Offers unlimited items in the vault, along with all features of the Basic Plan.

Pros

  • +Provides zero-knowledge encryption, ensuring Rivault itself cannot access user data.
  • +Offers one-tap authorization via Face ID or Passkey for secure data release to AI agents.
  • +Ensures sensitive data is deterministically redacted after each AI agent task.
  • +Supports a freemium model with a functional Basic plan and an affordable Pro plan at $9.90/month.
  • +Specifically designed to address privacy concerns when interacting with AI agents for task automation.

Cons

  • Launched in 2026, long-term user reviews and extensive adoption data are still emerging.
  • While the vault secures data, the challenge of fully redacting data from an AI agent's subsequent actions (e.g., screenshots, model context) remains a complex issue.
  • Requires explicit user authorization for each data release, which might introduce a minor friction point for highly frequent AI agent interactions.
  • Currently, integrations are listed for specific AI agents (OpenClaw, Claude, ChatGPT), but broader ecosystem compatibility may evolve.

Similar Tools

Rivault vs Competitors

Rivault differentiates itself by focusing on secure, authorized data sharing specifically for AI agents, addressing the privacy concerns of providing sensitive information to AI tools. It contrasts with general knowledge bases and local AI environments by offering a dedicated zero-knowledge vault with explicit user authorization.

1

A local-first markdown knowledge base that stores all your data as plain text files on your device, offering extensive customization and a vast plugin ecosystem.

While Obsidian stores data locally and privately, it doesn't inherently offer the 'zero-knowledge vault' model where a separate service mediates access for AI agents. You'd need to integrate AI agents (e.g., local LLMs or through plugins) yourself, and the security model relies on your local machine's security, not a dedicated vault service.

2
Logseq

An open-source, local-first knowledge base that uses plain text Markdown and Org-mode files, emphasizing linked thoughts and daily journaling.

Similar to Obsidian, Logseq provides local, private data storage. However, it lacks the explicit 'zero-knowledge vault for AI agents' architecture of Rivault, meaning you'd rely on community plugins or custom setups for AI agent integration, and the data security is tied to your local system.

3

Enables running large language models locally on your own machine, ensuring all data processing and context generation happens privately without sending information to external servers.

Ollama provides the environment for private AI processing, but it doesn't offer a dedicated 'zero-knowledge vault' for structured data storage like Rivault. You would manage your data locally (e.g., in text files or a local database) and feed it to the local LLM, requiring more manual setup for context management compared to Rivault's integrated approach.

4
Anytype

A local-first, end-to-end encrypted knowledge management tool that allows you to create and link various types of information, with data stored on your devices and optionally synced via a private network.

Anytype offers strong local-first, end-to-end encrypted data storage, fulfilling the 'zero-knowledge' aspect by design. However, it doesn't have built-in 'one-tap access to AI agents' like Rivault; integrating AI would require custom development or reliance on future community integrations, making it less plug-and-play for AI agent context.
