UpGrind AI

UpGrind AI is integrated using Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash via secure API routes. It is designed to enhance productivity and assist users through natural language interaction.

  • Session-based chat history: AI conversations are temporarily stored in your account’s private database to maintain context during a session. This data is encrypted and only accessible to you.
  • Real-time processing: All prompts are processed securely through Google's AI infrastructure. We do not store raw AI prompts or model responses outside of your private chat session.
  • No user profiling: AI interactions are not used to build user profiles, and are never shared with third parties.
  • Full user control: You can delete your chat history at any time using the “Reset Chat” option. All AI data is also permanently deleted if you delete your account.

These ads include: a hyperlink, an anchor, a banner, a search box, a vignette popup, and a chip. Google may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver personalized or non-personalized ads based on your interaction. You can control or disable ad personalization through your browser settings.
