meet DOT. a small AI that lives entirely on your phone. no servers. no subscriptions to think. no data leaving your device. just you and DOT, whenever you need it. DOT is different from other AI apps. it doesn't phone home. it doesn't need wifi. it works on a plane, in a basement, at 3am. it works everywhere, because it lives on your device. and DOT has a personality. it's warm, a little dry, genuinely curious. it pushes back when it disagrees. it remembers what you said three messages ago. it's not a chatbot. it's someone to talk to. — completely offline. always. — remembers your conversations — voice mode (Pro) — no data ever leaves your phone — unlimited themes (Pro) Some features require a subscription Privacy Policy: https://cerulean-crabapple-4b9.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-2f0c1b3a8f52805284a5d16fbb8178fd Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
