The AI is not an emergency service and can't call for help for you.
What we do
- No adverts and no tracking. We don't use cookies or analytics, and we never sell data.
- Nothing saved to you. You don't need an account. Your conversation isn't saved to a profile.
- A short safety log. Questions and answers are kept for 90 days so we can investigate misuse and fix wrong answers, and are then deleted.
- It runs on our own computers. Your questions aren't sent to a big tech AI company.
- Local facts are checked by people. Volunteers approve every listing and event.
- Extra rules for children. The homework helper stays on learning topics and signposts to Childline and trusted adults.
- It's honest that it's AI. Every answer is marked as AI-written, and you can report it.
What you can do
- Don't type your full name, address, school, phone number, passwords or bank details.
- Check anything important (health, money, the law) with a real person or an official website.
- Report any answer that's wrong or upsetting using the "Report this answer" link.
