AI Chat Feature
How AI Chat Works
- Third-Party Providers: AI responses are generated by third-party AI providers. Our current primary provider is Google Cloud's Vertex AI (Gemini models), with other providers (for example OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Anthropic) used as fallbacks or for specific features. The set of providers may change over time as we add, remove, or reroute traffic between them; current providers are listed in our subprocessor disclosures and privacy policy.
- Data Sent: When you use AI chat, the content of your messages is transmitted to the provider handling that request so a response can be generated.
- No Training: We contract with our AI providers under terms that prohibit use of your chat content to train their models, and chat data is not used by CocoCount for profiling.
Accuracy
- Not Professional Advice: AI responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Do not rely on AI chat for medical, legal, financial, safety, or other professional decisions.
- Parental Review: Parents should review AI interactions, especially for younger children, and use their own judgment before acting on AI-generated content.
Usage Limits
- Fair Use: AI chat is subject to fair-use limits that may vary by plan and may change over time to ensure service availability for all families. When a limit is reached, you will be asked to wait before sending again.
- No Guaranteed Capacity: We do not guarantee a specific number of AI messages per hour, day, week, or subscription period.
Children's AI Chat
- Parental Consent: AI chat is enabled only with parental consent.
- Parental Oversight: Parents can view all child chat conversations.
- Content Filtering: We use automated filters to reduce sharing of personal information.
Chat Restrictions
- Appropriate Content: Keep conversations appropriate for children.
- Personal Information: Do not share sensitive personal information.
- Supervision: Parents should monitor child usage.
