Assessment

Consumer app: high

Reasoning: A companion chatbot platform. Conversations train the models, retention is open-ended and there is no business tier. Use on a work network is personal, but the content people share with companions is often sensitive.

Flags: Conversations train models · No business tier · Region not stated · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
