What Kai stores
Your conversations with Kai, your name, your location and timezone, and the ritual times you choose. Kai needs these things to remember what you shared, meet you at the times you chose, and speak to your actual life.
Your conversations are encrypted while stored. Even if someone reached the stored data, they could not read what you shared.
Voice messages are transcribed on the fly and Kai discards the audio immediately after transcription. Kai keeps the text of what you said (encrypted, like all conversations) but never stores your voice recordings. Photos or other media you send are not stored.
Kai also keeps a small memory of things that matter across conversations, such as the direction you have chosen, a practice you accepted, or a recurring pattern you asked Kai to help you recognize. A passing disclosure should not become a lasting description of you simply because it was personal or vivid.
What Kai remembers
You can ask Kai what it remembers about you in ordinary language. Kai will summarize the relevant memory available in that conversation and invite you to correct it. That summary may not include everything Kai stores.
For a complete copy of your data, send /export_my_data in your private Telegram chat with Kai. If something Kai says is wrong, correct it plainly; your current correction should replace the conflicting earlier understanding.
How Kai uses outside AI services
Kai uses outside AI services to generate replies, transcribe voice notes and, when enabled, create spoken replies. The relevant content is sent securely to those providers.
I use commercial API services that do not train their general models on your content. Some providers may keep it temporarily for security, abuse prevention, or legal reasons. Providers may change as the technology improves; you can ask me which ones Kai currently uses.
What Kai does not do
Kai does not sell your data. Kai does not use your conversations for advertising. Kai does not build profiles to target you. Your inner world is not a product.
How Kai improves
Conversations may be reviewed in anonymized form by AI to improve how Kai works. No human will browse your sessions. If this ever changes, you will be told first.
When I review how Kai is working, I use the smallest possible slice and remove identifying details wherever I can.
Deletion
You can delete all your data from your private Telegram chat. Send /delete_my_data, then /delete_my_data confirm.
Kai cannot yet delete one remembered detail while keeping everything else. It will not say a specific memory is gone when it is not. This will change only when Kai can delete that one thing and confirm it is gone.
Kai is not therapy
Kai walks beside you. It is not a medical or mental health service. If you are in crisis, contact someone you trust, a qualified professional, or emergency services.
