Capabilities & Limitations
- Responses are generated by language models, not retrieved from a fixed database of answers.
- The system may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information.
- Knowledge cutoff depends on the underlying model and does not reflect real-time data.
- The system cannot access live internet data or external APIs.
- Personas shape tone and topical focus but do not guarantee domain expertise.
Data Handling
- Conversations are stored in a Supabase PostgreSQL database with row-level security.
- User data is not used to train AI models. OpenAI API data usage policies apply.
- Memory: Blanchard.ai remembers short facts about your work and leadership context (such as your role, team and goals) across conversations, never sensitive personal details. You can see, edit, delete or switch off what it remembers in your profile under Memory, and it is included in your data download and deleted with your account.
- GDPR-compliant data deletion is available upon request.
- For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
Human Oversight
- Administrators configure persona behavior, safety rules, and model parameters.
- Automated content moderation classifies messages for safety before delivery.
- Audit logging records AI interactions for review.
- Users can rate, copy, and report AI-generated responses at any time.
