Description

Documents or user messages may contain Personally Identifiable Information which an organization does not wish to be in an application like Simplechat. Having a PII detection process occur before an any AI functionality would prevent any processing that may not be allowed by the organization.

Requested feature: allow admins to enable automatic rejection of any document or message in which PII is detected, before it goes to the Large Language Model.
