2. Description of Service

Yap is an AI companion application that enables you to engage in voice-based and text-based conversations with an artificial intelligence. The Service includes features such as voice conversations, text messaging, AI-generated responses including text and audio outputs, and on-screen visual analysis when you indicate the AI companion should see your screen.

Nature of the AI: The AI you interact with through the Service is a computer program. It is not a human being, does not possess consciousness, emotions, or sentience, and does not have the ability to form genuine relationships or provide professional advice. The AI generates responses based on patterns in its training data and should not be treated as a substitute for human interaction or professional services.

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without prior notice. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or that it will be free from errors, interruptions, or security breaches.

Non-identifying data such as anonymized conversation transcripts and usage data may be retained in de-identified form for the purpose of improving the Service.
