Penny is an AI companion — listening, understanding, and reflecting back is what Penny does. That's why Penny's AI is on by default in your account. We tell you up front, not in fine print.
When you tap Ask Penny on an entry, Penny reads that entry and writes you a short reflection. Nothing happens in the background — only when you ask.
You can turn the AI off any time in My space. Off means off: your entries are never sent for AI processing, and Penny works as a plain private diary. Your entries are never sold and never used for advertising, either way.
