How Nest uses AI

Plain language, no surprises. Here's what Nest can help with, what it shouldn't be used for, and how you stay in control.

What Nest can help with

  • • Sorting thoughts when your head feels full
  • • Drafting messages you're not sure how to write
  • • Making small, doable plans
  • • Preparing notes for an appointment or conversation
  • • Reflecting on patterns over time
  • • Reducing mental load so you don't carry it all alone

What Nest should not be used for

  • • Emergency or crisis support
  • • Diagnosis or medical treatment
  • • Legal or financial decisions without professional advice
  • • Replacing a therapist, doctor, or crisis service

If you may be in danger, please see our Crisis & Safety page.

What the AI may use

To make support feel personal, Nest may use:

  • • What you type into Nest
  • • Your saved preferences or support profile, if you've added them
  • • Recent things you've offloaded or saved, when it's relevant
  • • Saved app data, only when it's needed to personalize support

You stay in control

  • • Outputs are suggestions, not commands
  • • Please review anything before you send, share, or act on it
  • • Nest does not auto-send messages or take outside action without your permission
  • • You can edit, ignore, or delete any output

Google Calendar (read-only)

If you choose to connect Google Calendar, Brain Nest requests read-only access (the calendar.readonly permission). Nest reads your existing events so it can help you plan a calm, realistic day, avoid double-booking, and suggest good windows for tasks and routines.

  • • Brain Nest never creates, edits, moves, or deletes your Google Calendar events.
  • • Calendar data is used only to provide Brain Nest's planning features.
  • • It is never sold and never used for advertising.
  • • You can disconnect anytime in Settings, which removes access and deletes cached calendar data.

See the Privacy Policy for full detail, including our adherence to the Google API Services User Data Policy (Limited Use).

Our privacy promise

  • • We never sell your personal entries.
  • • Your private reflections are not for advertising.
  • • You stay in control of what you share.

Voice-to-text

When supported by your browser, voice-to-text turns speech into typed text so you can talk instead of type. Brain Nest does not save audio recordings.
