Looks like an awesome tool! Privacy is always a huge concern, so it is great to see any AI company taking it seriously.

it comes from my concerns that today's chatbots gather user data and use them for training, even sell them without user awareness. That's why I want to build a AI, where users can feel confident using it and about their privacy

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah you can delete your conversation history whenever you want. Since we store data locally only, you have full control over it. Delete it, and it's gone for good. We don't retain any copies on our servers.

That's really cool! How do you ensure the AI model is not storing or retaining user data?

This AI model is stateless, so it doesn't store any info about previous conversations. It processes input in real-time, in memory only and purges any temporary data as soon as it's done.

That's a cool idea with private AI, it's rather interesting if it can store some metadata about previous searches for the next results being more accurate.

we use end to end encryption via TLS/SSL, comply with GDPR and CCPA and strict access controls to prevent unauthorized access. Conversations stay locally on the device, so you can defo view your previous data and searches

This is a really interesting approach to AI privacy. I'm curious to see how the performance of the local models compares to cloud-based solutions, especially when it comes to handling complex queries. Quick user feedback: I tried to generate violent images (just for the sake of testing), but I felt it was still being censored by the AI model.

We are utilizing the open source Llama3.1 405B model from Meta, which has shown impressive benchmark results compared to cloud-based alternatives. You are right, some AI models have their own built-in safeguard layers. You can try some Anon agent without built-in safeguard.
