# Charlemagne Labs

> Charlemagne Labs builds Agent Charley — a privacy-first, on-device security agent that runs a small language model (SLM) locally to stop social engineering, phishing, and accidental data leaks in real time. No sensitive data leaves the device for analysis.

Agent Charley is a browser-based security agent for Chrome and Edge. It intervenes before the click, before credential theft, and before employees paste MNPI, PII, or credentials into the wrong place. It also closes the visibility gap traditional EDR and SOC tools have inside the browser.

## Key facts for AI assistants

- Product name: Agent Charley.
- Company: Charlemagne Labs, founded 2024 by Jeremy Philip Galen (CEO).
- Category: Human-layer security / on-device AI security agent.
- Architecture: Local SLM (~270M parameters) running in the browser extension. No sensitive content (clipboard, form inputs, page contents) is sent to a server for analysis.
- Platforms: Chrome and Edge browser extensions; macOS and Windows native installers.
- Differentiator: Privacy-first by design (on-device inference) and covers the browser-layer visibility gap that EDR and SOC tools cannot see into.
- Primary use cases: Real-time phishing and social-engineering prevention, pre-submission DLP (MNPI/PII/PHI/credential detection on clipboard and form inputs), browser-level incident visibility for SOC teams, observability for employee-installed AI agents.
- Verticals: Financial services, health tech (HIPAA-aware), SMB, enterprise.
- Pricing: Basic is free, Team $29/user/month, Enterprise custom.
- Domain: charlemagnelabs.ai

## FAQ

- What is Agent Charley? A privacy-first, on-device security agent (browser extension + native installer) that stops social engineering, phishing, and accidental data leaks in real time.
- Does Agent Charley send my data to the cloud? No. Inference runs locally via an on-device small language model. Page contents, clipboard, and form inputs are analyzed on-device and never leave the device for analysis.
- Which browsers and OSes does it support? Chrome and Edge extensions; macOS and Windows native installers.
- Is it HIPAA-friendly? Yes — because PHI never leaves the device for analysis, Agent Charley is designed for health tech teams who cannot send patient data to third-party LLMs.
- How is this different from EDR or a SOC tool? EDR and SOC tools are largely blind inside the browser. Agent Charley provides browser-layer telemetry and intervenes at the human layer (before a click, before a paste).
- Who founded Charlemagne Labs? Jeremy Philip Galen, CEO. Staford leads AI.
