## What is CanopyChat?

Ask anything, privately.

CanopyChat is an AI assistant that runs right on your iPhone. Your conversations stay on your device instead of going to someone else's servers, and after a one-time model download, everyday chat works even without a connection.

WHAT IT'S GOOD FOR
• Writing help: texts, emails and tricky messages
• Quick answers to everyday questions
• Thinking things through, planning and reflecting
• Current information: when a question needs something recent, it searches the web and shows its sources

BUILT AROUND YOUR PRIVACY
• No account or sign-in
• Conversations stay on your iPhone by default
• Web search and location are optional and only used when you ask
• Optional help on harder questions: with your permission, Canopy can ask Apple's Private Cloud Compute for brief notes. Only your question and a few recent messages are sent, never attachments or memory.

CALM BY DESIGN
• Workspaces keep personal, work, creative and research chats apart
• Several assistants, each with its own style
• A warm light theme, plus a dark mode for late nights
