Privacy-First by Design
AI Thing is built on the assumption that everything on your screen is sensitive. We believe privacy is not a premium feature—it’s for everyone, across all plans.How Privacy Works in AI Thing
-
No Continuous Capture
AI Thing never records your screen or listens in the background. -
On-Demand Context Only
Context (like part of your screen or an open app) is only captured when you explicitly request it, by using@this
. -
Selective Context Capture
Choose exactly what to share—drag to select a portion of your screen or pick a specific open application. -
Transparency via Privacy Pill
Before any file is sent to a model, you see exactly what will be shared in a floating preview pill. -
Local History
No conversation is stored on our servers. All conversations are stored locally on your system. -
Secure Files
Files are not persisted on our servers. They are temporarily encoded and used only within your active tab. -
Local Privacy Checks (Coming Soon)
On-device models will scan shared content for sensitive data before it leaves your system.
Data We Collect
-
What We Collect:
- Your email and profile information (name and profile picture, if available) when you download and sign in.
- Basic usage analytics within AI Thing only — such as which buttons are clicked, which screens are viewed, and what errors occur. This is collected via Firebase Analytics.
-
Why We Collect It:
- Email and profile information: To understand who our customers are. Without this information, we cannot accurately report customer numbers to investors.
- Email: To operate core functionality such as credits, billing, and payments.
- Analytics: To improve the product experience by identifying errors and common usage patterns.
-
What We Don’t Do:
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not collect or store any conversations, images, or API keys that you use within AI Thing.
- We do not collect any usage data from outside AI Thing.
-
Where Your Data Lives:
- All configurations, API keys, and conversation history are stored locally on your system, not on our servers. This ensures your sensitive data and personal conversations remain entirely under your control.
Managed Models

Managed Agents
- Google:
- Access:
- Access to your Google Account is managed through authentication tokens.
- Tokens are stored only in memory within the AI Thing app and in temporary in-memory sessions on the server. They are never stored permanently.
- Each time an action is performed, the token is transmitted from the app to the agent’s server using encryption.
- Retention:
- We retain the tokens (that expire every hour) in memory only until they are needed to complete the requested action.
- No Google data is persisted on our servers or stored beyond the active session.
- No user data or access credentials (tokens) are shared, transferred, or disclosed to third parties, or persisted anywhere.
- With a strict one-hour expiration policy, access tokens expire and are refreshed only if the user uses the Google agent.
- Deletion:
- You can revoke AI Thing’s access to your Google account at any time via Google Account.
- Once revoked, AI Thing immediately loses access, and any in-memory tokens are permanently discarded.
- Access:
Free or paid, everyone gets the same high standard of privacy.
