Clear answers from an AI that's on your side. Ask about a bill, a letter, a prescription or a plan, and get a plain answer with a next step. And check any text that seems off, free. Your chats clear on the timer you choose. Nothing you say is used to train AI, and there are no ads. WHAT YOU CAN DO Scam or real? Send Lookout a screenshot of a text, email or link. It tells you if it's a scam, shows you the tells, and says what to do next. Your first check needs no account, and unlimited checks are free with one. Clear answers: Ask the hard question and get a plain-English answer, with the sources when it looks things up, so you can check the work yourself. The letter in front of you: Snap a photo of a lab result, an insurance notice or a bill, and ask what it actually means. Keep what matters: Save what's worth keeping as a Knowledgebook, like a medication list or a trip plan. Read it, edit it or remove any line anytime. The chat clears. The Knowledgebook doesn't. Just talk: Tap the microphone and ask out loud. Ask Safely talks back. Write it for me: Draft the email, the reply or the note you've been putting off. YOUR PRIVACY Chats clear on your timer: 8 hours by default, or 7 or 30 days. Nothing you say is used to train AI. No ads. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Built on Anthropic's Claude, and we pick the right model for each question. PLANS Essential is free: unlimited chats, unlimited Lookout scam checks, About you plus three Knowledgebooks, and one free try each of Researcher, Writer, voice and uploads. Expert is $20 a month, or $100 for your first year (launch offer through October 31), then $200 a year. Cancel anytime. Ask Safely is an AI assistant, not a doctor, lawyer or financial advisor. Treat answers as a helpful starting point. Terms of Service & Privacy Policy: https://www.asksafely.ai/assistant-terms-of-service/ https://www.asksafely.ai/assistant-privacy-policy/

Private AI so you can think out loud. Off the record. Confer is a powerful AI assistant built so your conversations stay private—even from us. Your messages are encrypted with keys only you control. Most AI products ask you to trust a privacy policy. Confer makes privacy part of the architecture. Ask about health, finances, relationships, work, or anything else you wouldn’t want sitting in a company’s plaintext database. Private by design: * Chat history, folders, memories, and attachments are end-to-end encrypted * Your encryption keys remain under your control * We can’t read your conversations, use them to train AI, or hand over plaintext we don’t have Powerful by default: * Photos and file attachments * Long, continuous conversations * Persistent memory that learns about you—not a readable profile stored about you * Folders with their own custom instructions * Private connections to services such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar * Available on iPhone and the web Confer is how personal AI should work: useful enough to tell it anything, private enough that you can.
