Private AI for your documents
Private AI for your own documents
General chatbots such as ChatGPT are good at writing and explaining. For questions about your own files you usually want something narrower: an answer that comes only from your documents, shows where it came from, and does not send them further than it has to.
Three things to ask of any AI that reads your files
- Where do my documents go? Know which servers receive them, how long they are kept, and whether they are used for training. Each provider's own terms answer this, and they differ by plan.
- Does the answer come from my documents? A general chatbot mixes your file with everything it learned in training. That is useful for writing, and risky when you need what your contract actually says.
- Can I check it? Without a pointer to the passage, the only way to verify an answer is to reread the document.
How Étoiles answers those questions
| Question | Étoiles app (free) | Étoiles Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Where documents are processed | On your iPhone or iPad only | In your own workspace, encrypted at rest, processed in memory |
| Used to train AI models | No | No |
| Answers come from | Your library only | Your workspace only |
| Every answer cites its passage | Yes | Yes |
| When the answer is not in your documents | Says so | Says so |
| Account | None | Email and a second sign-in step |
What Étoiles is not
It is not a general chatbot. It will not draft your essay or answer questions about the world; it answers questions about the documents you give it, and it tells you when they do not say. If you need both, use each for what it is good at.
