Question 1

How is this different from ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Unlike ChatGPT, Ask Safely automatically deletes your conversations after 8 hours and never trains AI models on your data.

While ChatGPT builds a permanent digital profile of everything you share, we believe your questions, especially sensitive ones about health, relationships, or finances, shouldn't become someone else's business asset.

You get the same powerful AI capabilities, but your data stays yours and disappears on your terms.

Question 2

What makes this smart?

Accepted Answer

Ask Safely uses the latest AI models from Anthropic (Claude Sonnet/Haiku 4.5) with built-in web search that automatically activates when you need current information. You don't need to choose models, adjust settings, or understand technical jargon, the AI intelligently routes your questions to get you the best answers.

We're working behind the scenes on specialized agents for research, writing, and learning that save you time and money.

Question 3

What makes this the simplest AI?

Accepted Answer

We handle all the complexity behind the scenes. No model selection, no prompt engineering, no confusing settings...just ask your question and get an answer.

While other AI tools overwhelm you with dozens of toggles and options, Ask Safely has just three simple settings.

Swipe left to delete a chat, swipe right to save it. That's it. If your grandma can use it, you know it's truly simple.

Question 4

What makes this the safest AI?

Accepted Answer

Safety starts with privacy by design. Your chats auto-delete after 8 hours, we use bank-grade AES-256 encryption, and we never sell your data or use it to train AI models. You're not being tracked, profiled, or turned into a product.

We also give you transparent controls. You can see exactly what the AI remembers about you, edit it anytime, or delete everything instantly.

Unlike other platforms where AI tries to foster psychological dependency as a pseudo-friend, Ask Safely is a practical helper that keeps it honest and efficient.

Question 5

Is this safe for kids?

Accepted Answer

While Ask Safely is the safest AI for adults thanks to our privacy-first design, we believe parents should set guardrails and have appropriate access to their child's use.

That's why we're currently rated 17+ out of an abundance of caution. We're planning to build comprehensive child guardrails in 2026 with features like parental dashboards, wellness alerts,
and graduated access controls—so families can eventually benefit from AI without compromising safety.

Question 6

How do you make money?

Accepted Answer

Right now, we don't. Our founding team is covering the cloud infrastructure costs while we perfect the experience. We're planning to launch a paid subscription tier in Q1 2026 with advanced features for power users. We'll never make money by selling your data, training AI models on your conversations, or showing you manipulative ads without your consent.

When we do charge, it will be a straightforward subscription that aligns with your interests, not against them.
