AI and Machine Learning
Our Service uses artificial intelligence to provide its core features. Understanding how your data is processed by AI systems is important:

- Your chat messages and conversation history

- System instructions that help the AI understand your request
Important: We do not use your data to train AI models. Your content is processed solely to generate responses for you.
Document Processing

- Knowledge Graphs: We extract entities and relationships from your documents to build knowledge graphs that enhance understanding of your content.
- Transcription: Audio files are processed using AI transcription services to convert speech to text.
- Text-to-Speech: When generating audio summaries, text is sent to TTS providers to create audio output.
