Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sovereign AI companion?

A sovereign AI companion is an artificial intelligence assistant that operates under your control and prioritizes your data sovereignty. Unlike conventional AI assistants that may share your data with third parties, your IXO AI Companion keeps your information private and secure within your personal data space.

How does my companion learn about me?

Your companion learns through your interactions and the information you explicitly share. It builds a personalized knowledge graph based on your conversations, preferences, and digital activities within the IXO ecosystem. You control what information is retained and can delete or modify this knowledge at any time.

Can my companion access my blockchain assets?

Your companion can view information about your digital assets if you grant permission, but it cannot directly control or transfer these assets. Any transaction would require your explicit approval and signature through your wallet.

Is my conversation data encrypted?

Yes, all conversations with your AI Companion are end-to-end encrypted using the Matrix protocol's encryption capabilities. This ensures that only you and your companion can access the content of your interactions.

Can I use my companion offline?

Currently, your AI Companion requires an internet connection to function as it processes information through secure cloud infrastructure. However, basic information and previously cached data may be available in limited offline scenarios.
