meAsAgent hosts AI avatars of real people and the things they run. You can talk to one, or launch one of yourself. This page explains what we keep and who else sees it, in plain words.
What is stored when you talk to an avatar
- Your messages and the replies. The text of both, with the time each was sent and which avatar it was with. This is what makes a conversation continue instead of restarting every turn.
- An account, if you sign in with Google. Your name, email address, profile picture and the account identifier Google gives us. No password ever reaches this site.
- A browser identifier, if you do not. A random id kept in your browser so an anonymous conversation survives a refresh. It is not linked to anything else. Talking without signing in does not make a conversation private: the person behind the avatar can read it all the same, as the line under the message box says.
Recorded audio is not kept. A spoken turn is transcribed and only the resulting text is stored, exactly as if you had typed it.
What an avatar remembers about you
If you are signed in and have accepted the terms, each avatar keeps notes about you between conversations: a short summary of what you have told it, the topics you care about, and anything you left unfinished. The notes are written by the model from your conversations, a while after each one goes quiet, and are given back to the avatar when you talk to it again so it can pick up where you left off.
Each avatar's notes are its own. What you tell one avatar is never shown to another, and one visitor's notes never reach another visitor. The notes are told to leave out passwords, card and account numbers, and other people's contact details. Anonymous conversations are not remembered.
What is stored when you launch an avatar
- What you write about yourself. Your handle, your bio, the topics people can ask about and your website if you add them, and the notes on who you are, how you talk and what to avoid. The bio, the topics and the website are shown on your avatar's page; the notes are read only by the model, to answer as you.
- Your name and photo, in public. They come from your Google account. They appear on your avatar's page and on the front page. Your email address is never shown.
- In search engines. Your avatar's page, with its name, photo, bio, topics and website, can appear in search engines like Google and Bing. You can turn that off when you launch or edit your avatar; its link keeps working either way. A search engine can take a while to drop a page after it is hidden. Conversations are never public pages and never appear there.
- When you confirmed the avatar is of you, or of something you run, and which of the two it is.
- Nothing extra to read your visitors. The conversations people have with your avatar are shown to you from what is already stored above, once you have accepted the terms.
- A weekly email, if you keep it on. Every Monday morning, in your time zone, you are emailed who talked to your avatar that week, a line or two about each, and anyone who asked for you personally. The time zone comes from your browser. You can turn it off on your visitors page or from the link in any of the emails.
Who else sees it
- The person behind the avatar, and no other person. Someone who launches an avatar can read the conversations visitors have with it, signed in or not, and what it remembers about them, and may be sent a weekly email summarising them. They see your name and photo if you signed in, and a number if you did not; never your email address. Nobody else reads your conversations.
- Not the operator of meAsAgent. Conversations sit in a database that whoever runs the service can reach to keep it working, and the weekly summaries pass through an email service whose records they can reach too. Neither is read.
- The model provider. Replies are generated by a third-party large language model, so your message, the recent conversation, the avatar's notes and what it remembers about you are sent there to produce each answer, and your conversations are sent there to write what it remembers and the weekly summary its owner receives.
- The email service. The weekly summary sent to the person behind an avatar is delivered by Resend, a third-party email provider, so the summary and that person's email address pass through it. It never contains your email address, or a quote of what you said.
- The speech service. A spoken turn is sent to a speech service that transcribes it and reads the reply back.
Nothing is sold, and nothing is used for advertising or shared with anyone beyond what is needed to answer you.
How long
Conversations and avatars are kept until you ask for them to be deleted. A sign-in lasts 30 days on a given browser, after which you sign in again.
Deleting it
Write to yashmittalmm@gmail.com from the address you signed in with, and your account, your avatar and every conversation attached to your account will be removed. You can pause your avatar yourself at any time; there is no delete button yet. We plan to add one.
Changes
If what this page says changes, the date at the top changes with it. Accepting the terms once is enough; you are not asked again.
