Salut is a native iOS and Mac app that verifies AI responses. Get accurate, cross-checked responses from the best models — without handing your data to providers. You'll love it. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Deepseek, we connect to all of them, but keep your information safe. We use auto-routing to ensure your prompt is routed to the most appropriate model for your query. When we see that your prompt needs to be accurate, we verify the responses across models and give you the honest answer. Native iOS app On top of that, by making this a native iOS app, the app feels fast, snappy, and right at home on your homescreen. This means; - it's simple with all the idioms you're used to from an iOS app - a super low footprint - it's incredibly fast and snappy - but most of all, syncing between devices is pretty much seamless. It's incredible. Privacy first We, like many others, have seen what happens when big companies eat up all of our data and misuse it. So any data shared through Salut is kept securely within the EU and we only share what the LLM needs to give you the answer. Files are summarised and shared, but never the source. Profiles are made on the fly, but never given in full. All of our data shared with the service providers is asked to be deleted and never used for further training. We're only just starting with Salut with a long road ahead. If you have feedback or suggestions, email me and we'll take a look. The legal things: - Our Privacy Policy is found at https://getsalut.ai/privacy - Our Terms of Service is found similarly at https://getsalut.ai/terms-of-service - The app also falls under Apple's EULA at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
