Privacy & security

Our core security and privacy principle is that your data belongs to you. We only send message data to 8AI if all of the below conditions are met:

• You’ve added 8AI to the table

• You’ve included 8AI’s head in the conversation

• You sent a message that includes “@8AI” or “@8”

The message data will only be used to process your request with the AI and is never used to train or improve the AI.

How 8AI works

When you message 8AI, we send 8AI your question plus the last 100 messages from the current conversation in your Table, Room or DM. We do this to provide enough context for 8AI to be able to deliver a helpful response. 8AI also has a comprehensive understanding of 8seats so you can ask questions about the platform, including hints and tips, how-tos and more.

What’s behind the scenes?

8AI is currently powered by GPT-40 which is the latest and greatest from OpenAI. In future, we plan to expand to many other providers and you will be able to choose who to use.

Limitations of AI

Disclaimer: It is important to understand that AI can have some limitations including providing inaccurate or misleading information, limited awareness of recent events, limited generalisation and may not comprehend over-complex requests. We recommend you keep these limitations in mind.
