How Voice of Self Uses AI

This is the hosted copy of How Voice of Self Uses AI, effective 2026-06-20.

Voice of Self uses managed AI to create reflections, summaries, notes, relics, milestones, closing messages, and live questions from the entries and transcripts you choose to submit. Depending on the feature, the request may include your current entry or transcript, live transcript excerpts while recording, and selected past local context such as previous summaries, notes, relics, or milestones.

Managed AI requests require a Voice of Self account and an active subscription, trial, entitlement, or other access grant. Request content may pass through the Voice of Self Firebase backend to the configured managed AI provider. Managed AI routes can use Amazon Bedrock / AWS or Groq depending on backend workflow configuration. The app does not currently offer a bring-your-own AI provider mode.

For normal managed AI requests, transcript text, selected context, prompts, and AI output are handled on a zero-retention basis for readable request content by the backend and configured provider routes: they are transmitted to service the request and are not retained as readable backend account records after fulfillment. Bedrock raw model-invocation body logging is disabled for these managed requests, and Groq routes are configured for zero data retention when used.

Raw audio is handled locally or by Apple speech/transcription services where those services are used. Voice of Self retains limited account, subscription, security, diagnostic, performance, and usage/accounting metadata such as token counts, workflow labels, timestamps, processing duration, and derived cost. Voice of Self does not use your entries, transcripts, raw audio, or AI outputs for ads, retargeting, custom audiences, or training its own models.

Voice of Self does not use recordings, transcripts, photos, images, or other content to identify people, create biometric identity templates, create voiceprints, perform speaker recognition, scan face geometry, or verify identity.

AI output is automated and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for your situation. Voice of Self is a self-reflection and journaling tool, not healthcare, therapy, diagnosis, treatment, crisis monitoring, emergency response, legal advice, financial advice, or any other professional service.
