Typort vs Island for AI

Governs the AI chat sites. Island says it "governs AI interactions across browser-based tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity)", and can "Detect and redact PII on prompts, files, and tool calls."

Audits every prompt. Its AI page offers to "Audit every prompt, response, tool call, and tool response."

Tracks AI cost per person. Island says it "aggregates real usage, cost, and performance into one view, per person and per agent", and offers to "Track AI token spend and detect waste per team & project." On this point Island and Typort overlap.

Runs in its own browser, or an extension. Island is a Chromium-based browser for Windows, macOS, Linux and Chromebook, and is "also available as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and any Chromium-based browser."

A browser roll-out, or its extension. For AI it adds control points beyond the browser: the Island extension, Island Desktop, Island Network and a gateway for AI agents.

Island controls the session. Typort explains the work. If you run Island, keep it for redaction, last-mile controls and the prompt audit. Typort adds what the work is, client rules, meetings in the same search, and a plain view staff can see too.

If you do not run Island. Typort needs no new browser. People keep the browser they use, add the Typort extension, and sign in.

The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.

Is Typort a replacement for Island?

No. Island is an enterprise browser with controls over data, access and AI. Typort shows how a team uses AI: usage and estimated spend per person, allowances, what the work is, flags and client rules. It does not control the browser.

Does Island track AI spend per person?

Yes. Island says it tracks usage, cost and performance per person and per agent, and token spend per team and project. Typort does the same per person for chat seats, and adds what the work is and client rules.

Do people have to change browser for Typort?

No. Typort is an extension in the browser people already use.

Can Typort block a prompt?

No. Typort shows what went in after the fact, with flags and client rules marked broke or close. If you need a paste or a prompt stopped before it is sent, use a tool built to block.

Which AI tools does Typort see?

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the browser, through the Typort browser extension. Microsoft 365 Copilot capture is built and comes in the next extension update. It reads what is on the page, so it works on Business and Team seats and needs no API keys from the AI vendors.

Are the dollar figures exact?

No, they are estimates from the tokens in each chat at the AI vendor's API list price. A chat page cannot show system prompts, hidden reasoning, attachments or tool calls, so the figures are a floor. They are there to compare people and tools, not to replace the invoice.

What does the team view cost?

The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
