Detailed Comparisons

vs. ChatGPT / Claude Web Interfaces

What they offer:

  • Direct access to powerful AI models

  • Conversation history and memory

  • Web-based, no installation

What they expose:

Risk
Impact

Email/phone required

Identity permanently linked

Card payment

Financial identity exposed

Conversation logging

Complete thought history stored

IP tracking

Location and network exposed

Browser fingerprinting

Cross-session identification

ZYBER difference:

  • Access the same AI models through ZYBER's isolated environment

  • No email, no phone, no card

  • Workspace-bounded sessions

{% hint style="info" %} ZYBER doesn't replace AI platforms—it provides a private way to access them. {% endhint %}


vs. AI Coding IDEs (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

What they offer:

  • AI-powered code completion and generation

  • Integrated development environment

  • Chat-based coding assistance

What they expose:

Risk
Impact

Local code execution

AI code runs with your permissions

Dependency installation

Packages install on your system

File system access

AI can read/write local files

Environment variables

API keys, secrets accessible

Persistent agents

Long-running processes on your machine

ZYBER difference:

  • Full IDE experience in isolated cloud workspace

  • AI-generated code never touches your device

  • Dependencies install in disposable environment

  • Wallet compromise = wallet loss; ZYBER compromise = session loss

{% hint style="warning" %} Critical: If a malicious dependency executes in Cursor, it has access to your entire system. In ZYBER, it only has access to the isolated workspace. {% endhint %}


vs. Using AI with a VPN

What a VPN provides:

  • Masks your IP address from websites

  • Encrypts traffic between you and VPN server

  • Bypasses geographic restrictions

What a VPN doesn't provide:

Gap
Explanation

Execution isolation

Code still runs on your machine

Identity protection

Still need email, card for AI platforms

Dependency safety

Packages still install locally

Data separation

AI still logs your conversations

ZYBER difference:

  • ZYBER provides IP masking AND execution isolation

  • Your device never runs untrusted code

  • Complete identity separation, not just network layer


vs. Local Sandboxing (Docker, VMs)

What local sandboxing provides:

  • Isolated execution environments

  • Resource separation from host system

  • Reproducible environments

What local sandboxing lacks:

Gap
Explanation

Expertise required

Complex setup and maintenance

Resource overhead

VMs consume local CPU, RAM, disk

Network exposure

Still uses your IP address

Identity exposure

Still need accounts, cards

Escape vulnerabilities

Container/VM escapes are possible

ZYBER difference:

  • Same isolation concept, zero local setup

  • Runs on ZYBER's infrastructure, not your resources

  • Cloud IP, not your IP

  • Web3 identity, not email accounts
