Questions, answered.

What are Experts?

Three focused helpers, each doing a single thing well. Lookout gives you a second look before you act, free and unlimited on every plan. Writer drafts emails and notes in your voice, and Researcher looks things up fast, both included with Expert. Each one sees only the chat you're in.

Can I use Ask Safely for sensitive questions?

You can ask about anything without worrying about a permanent record. Because chats auto-delete and your data is never stored long-term or used for training, there's no lasting footprint from questions about health symptoms, legal situations, finances, relationships, or anything else. That said, Ask Safely is an AI assistant, not a doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor. Always treat answers as a helpful starting point.

Does Ask Safely sell my data or share it with anyone?

No. Ask Safely does not sell, share, or provide your data to any third party. Your conversations are not used for advertising, profiling, or training. We make money from subscriptions, not your data.

What does "no AI model training" mean?

When you chat with tools like ChatGPT, your conversations can be used to improve their AI by default. Your words, your business ideas, your personal details become part of the training data for future models. Ask Safely never does this. The AI models are already trained before they reach you. Nothing you type ever goes back into making the AI smarter or shaping what it tells someone else. Your conversations stay yours.

Do I need an account to try Ask Safely?

No. Guest Mode lets you try Ask Safely right away. No signup, no email, nothing. You get up to 10 messages a day with the same AI, web search, auto-deleting chats, and guided prompts. If you like it and want unlimited messages, you can create a free Essential account. Any conversations you started as a guest carry over.

Is the free tier really free? What's the catch?

The free Essential tier is genuinely free with no hidden data collection. You get unlimited AI chat, automatic web search, auto-deleting chats, and cross-device sync. Lookout is free and unlimited: check any scam, phishing text, or robocall before you act. You also get About You, your first Knowledgebook, plus three custom Knowledgebooks, and one free run each of Researcher, Writer, Deep Research, a voice conversation, and an upload. It handles about 80% of what most people use AI for, and it's funded by the paid Expert tier.
