What's New in MagicMirror: File Upload Scanning and Perplexity AI Support

As GenAI tools become more powerful, so do the ways employees use them, often beyond what IT and legal teams can see. At MagicMirror, we’re continuing to expand the surface of observability and protection to help organizations manage these tools safely, without blocking innovation.

New Feature: File Upload Scanning with Real-Time Privacy Safeguards

We’ve expanded MagicMirror’s browser-level protections to cover file uploads, giving organizations new visibility and control over GenAI usage that includes sensitive documents.

What’s New:
Users can now upload PDF, TXT, and CSV files into GenAI tools (like ChatGPT or Gemini) with confidence. Before the upload occurs, MagicMirror scans each file for PII/PCI and flags any issues locally in real-time. 

Users see a detailed report of any sensitive data found and are guided to act in line with your organization’s policy.

Flexible File Policies
Admins can choose how file uploads are governed:

• Users can upload flagged files after validating that they meet policy.
• Files containing PII or PCI are automatically blocked.
• Scans can be skipped entirely, which is useful for lower-risk use cases where audit logs remain available.
• File uploads can be fully blocked for any given domain.

This update extends GenAI observability to a major blind spot—file-based inputs—without disrupting workflows. And because everything runs locally, no document ever leaves the device unless explicitly approved by the user and policy.

Audit-Ready Insight:
All scanned files and results are logged in the User Session Audit of the Admin Dashboard, providing IT and legal teams with a searchable trail of user activity and policy adherence.

Enhanced Usage Analytics and Custom Prompt Classification

MagicMirror’s model has significantly improved at classifying prompts, and we’ve added a powerful new usage trends graph to help teams understand how GenAI is being used across the organization.

Admins can now visualize key trends, monitor prompt types, and uncover adoption patterns—all in real time. Plus, there’s now a direct way for customers to request custom classifications right from the dashboard (see the “Request Classifier” button in the top-right corner).

This new visibility unlocks deeper insights for policy refinement. 

Now Supported: Perplexity AI

Perplexity now handles over 780 million queries monthly and serves 30 million active users, quickly becoming a go-to AI assistant for enterprise search and research.

MagicMirror now fully supports Perplexity AI, extending observability and protection to one of the fastest-growing GenAI tools in the enterprise.

Just like with ChatGPT and Gemini, you’ll now get:

• Prompt-level visibility into usage patterns
• Real-time detection of sensitive data before it’s shared
• Policy-based enforcement with zero disruption
