Building the Impossible: HTTP Proxy Layer for Zero-Knowledge AI API Calls

The Feature That Doesn't Exist I'm building something that no secrets manager has. A proxy layer that lets AI make authenticated API calls without seeing credentials. Let me explain how and why. The Current State (Broken) Scenario 1: AI Needs to Call an API You: "Use Stripe to process a payment" ChatGPT: "I'll need your Stripe secret key to do that" You: "sk_live_abc123xyz789..." ChatGPT: makes API call ChatGPT: now has your key in chat logs Problems: Key in chat logs Key potentially in training data Key in OpenAI's systems Insecure Scenario 2: You Try to Be Secure You: "Use Stripe to process a payment" ChatGPT: "I'll need your Stripe secret key" You: "I'm not comfortable sharing that" ChatGPT: "I understand. You'll need to make the API call manually then." Problems: Can't use AI for automation Back to manual workflows Defeats the purpose of AI assistance The Gap Secrets managers help you store credentials. They don't help you USE credentials with AI, that's the problem I'm solving. **
