AI transparency

AI structures your captures and suggests small steps. You stay in control of every decision and outbound message.

AI assistance is not therapy, legal, or financial advice.

AI assists — you decide

Hephaestus uses cloud AI to structure captures, suggest priorities, and draft supervised messages. AI never replaces your judgment on sensitive life decisions.

What we send to providers

We minimize personal content before any provider call. Captures are treated as data, not instructions — with defenses against prompt injection.

Redacted or summarized context for RAG — not full history dumps.
Structured JSON outputs validated server-side.
Crisis signals block coaching prompts and surface support resources.

Supervised digital twin

Message drafts and reply suggestions are for your review only. Hephaestus does not send on your behalf without explicit approval in MVP.

Training and retention

We do not use your personal content to train public foundation models without explicit consent. Provider retention follows their enterprise/API terms and our Privacy Policy.

Decision Maker boundaries

Decision Maker frameworks structure thinking — they are not therapy, legal, or licensed financial advice. You record the final decision.
