FAQ

How does Keel handle data privacy compared to standard web-based AI chat interfaces?

Keel utilizes a local-first architecture, meaning your chat history and context are stored as plain markdown files on your own hard drive. Unlike cloud-based assistants that may store data on remote servers for training or analysis, Keel keeps your information under your control. You should verify if specific API providers you connect to, like GPT or Claude, have their own data retention policies.
