How courbot.co Works Technically

courbot.co is powered by Google Gemini, a large language model developed by Google. When you interact with courbot.co your messages are processed by Google’s AI infrastructure in accordance with Google’s terms of service and privacy policy.

courbot.co does not store your conversation history on our servers. However, to improve your experience, your browser may temporarily save recent conversation context — including the article you were discussing and the messages exchanged — in your device’s local storage for up to 30 minutes of inactivity. This allows you to return to a conversation within that window without losing your place. This data exists only on your device and is never transmitted to or stored by courben.co. It is automatically cleared after 30 minutes of inactivity, when you click “New conversation,” or when you clear your browser’s local storage. courben.co cannot access, read, or retrieve this locally stored data.

Data and Privacy

courben.co does not store the content of your courbot.co conversations beyond what is technically necessary for the session to function. Conversation content is not retained after your session ends. courben.co does not use courbot.co conversation content to build individual user profiles, train AI models, or share with third parties for commercial purposes.
