All data, including documents and your API key, remain stored locally on your browser. No third-party access to your documents unless you choose to interact with external APIs (such as the OpenAI Chat API), which is done under your control with your API key.

ai-text-editor supports both mobile and desktop access, ensuring you can continue your work seamlessly across devices. For the best experience, it's recommended to use the latest version of Chrome.

It's crucial to regularly export your data for backups. Through the sidebar's 'export' feature, you can save your documents and chats securely and import them back at any time.

Q: How is our data stored, and who has access?

A: Your documents are stored locally on your device via IndexedDB. If you use the OpenAI API or any custom API, you might send document and selection data to their servers during the request process.

Q: How do I back up my data?

A: You can routinely back up your data by using the 'export' feature in the sidebar. This action will generate a .JSON file of your documents and chats.

Q: Do I need to pay OpenAI?

A: Yes, using your own API key means you'll interface directly with the OpenAI servers, so it's recommended to set limits and monitor spending in your OpenAI dashboard. If you use an alternative API, you may need to pay to the provider of this API.
