ExpressVPN has launched ExpressAI, a chatbot-style AI assistant platform that uses a privacy-first architecture that challenges current AI tools. ExpressAI uses confidential computing technology, which processes user data inside secure enclaves to keep it inaccessible to operators and infrastructure alike. This technology includes end-to-end encryption, zero data retention for training, and a system where even ExpressVPN claims it can't see user prompts or files. The company is hoping this will attract more privacy-conscious users as AI tools become more integrated into daily workflows. Access to ExpressAI is globally in phases beginning on March 31, 2026.
