How private is this?

Hopefully running local S2T + LLM and native app with data fully stored on device. I can’t imagine anyone would be happy shipping their private personal thoughts to a cloud LLM + unknown backend service provider, especially because running this stuff locally is well within the realm of possibility these days.

I think about this often. Because I'm a privacy engineer.

It does feel weird to ship all your voice and private thoughts to a remote server.

But how different is it really, than people using notion to journal?

My guess is that it's going to be more and more normalized to have personal voice based communication.

you're in a tech bubble if you think this.

Do you think all the people on this subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterAI/ are keeping private thoughts to themselves when doing roleplay with their virtual companions?

No.. I think most people don't think about this stuff at all.

Hi,

I am the builder. In our platform, voice data is not stored on our servers by default. It is used solely for transcription to text and is deleted immediately afterward. Users have the option to enable a feature that allows the storage of voice recordings along with the journal text, but this feature is disabled by default.

We utilize Microsoft's transcription APIs, ensuring that data is not used to train any models.

Additionally, we are developing an "Ask About Your Journal" feature that employs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. This feature is also disabled by default and can be enabled by users if desired.
