Accuracy
AI models learn from a huge amount of text across countless sources. When answering questions or having conversations, they use that information to make an informed inference about the best response. This means that like humans, AI models can make mistakes; review responses, and use your judgment. Providing feedback on responses you don't find helpful allows Insights to improve and deliver better answers in the future.
Data, Security, & Privacy
Although this AI feature uses models developed by third parties, your data and inputs stay securely within our infrastructure; they are not sent to third parties or used to train their models. For more information, you can review our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and AI Tool Terms of Use.
