What's the data retention/deletion policy and is there a self-hosted option planned? I'd prefer not to send proprietary code to third-party servers.

Honestly, very reasonable ask, you're not the first person to ask for a self-hosted version. We have a privacy policy we've drafted that is up-to-date with the current version of the product https://www.ensue-network.ai/privacy-policy.

The project is still in alpha, so you could shape what we build next - what do you need to see, or what gets you comfortable sending proprietary code to other external services?

Honestly? It just has to be local.

At work, we have contracts with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google with isolated/private hosting requirements, coupled with internal, custom, private API endpoints that enforce our enterprise constraints. Those endpoints perform extensive logging of everything, and reject calls that contain even small portions of code if it's identified as belonging to a secret/critical project.

There's just no way we're going to negotiate, pay for, and build something like that for every possible small AI tooling vendor.

And at home, I feed AI a ton of personal/private information, even when just writing software for my own use. I also give the AI relatively wide latitude to vibe-code and execute things. The level of trust I need in external services that insert themselves in that loop is very high. I'm just not going to insert a hard dependency on an external service like this -- and that's putting aside the whole "could disappear / raise prices / enshittify at any time" aspect of relying on a cloud provider.

		Yeah I get the dependency concern, and also I think about the trust and pricing challenge a lot. I might be getting ahead of my skis here, but living in a future world, assuming there is a local service, what would you want to see with a context management service for your team to actually use it? Or even better - pay for it?
