FAQ
Does Enclave's AI really have long-term memory?
Yes. Enclave uses a structured long-term memory system rather than a simple context window, so experts can still cite specific things you said months ago — not a vague "I think you mentioned that." Every memory is yours to view, edit, or delete at any time.Is my conversation data safe? Will it be used for training?
In self-hosted mode, your conversations live only on your own drive — they never leave your machine and are never used by any third party for training. The model layer can connect to cloud APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic, or be swapped for local Ollama / vLLM to run fully offline; you decide which kind of conversation goes to which model.Will the AI experts proactively reach out to me?
Yes. Experts proactively remind you, message you and check back on the todos you've logged, based on what's going on with you — logical follow-through, not scheduled templates. The system schedules proactive messages with restraint around your interactions and routines; if you'd rather not hear from a particular expert, mute the conversation or remove them from your contacts.
