Y Combinator-Backed Egoist Machines Launches AI Passport - the Only Way to Securely Store and Share Your Personal Data Across AI Assistants like ChatGPT and Claude

Egoist Machines, a Y Combinator-backed startup, has launched AI Passport, a permission-based system that allows users to securely store and control their personal data across multiple AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. The platform enables users to review, share, or delete information on a topic-by-topic and app-by-app basis, addressing growing concerns about data control in AI systems. A waitlist for the free service opened on July 13, 2026, with general availability expected later that summer.
