AI and local access

AI generation and understanding use the AI providers and keys you configure in AppJuice. The app itself runs locally on your device. AppJuice will ask before sensitive file or automation access.

Safety and privacy

No unexpected data sharing was detected in this version. File actions, browser automation, and desktop actions only happen after you approve them. The assistant does not ask for your passwords; it uses browser profiles you choose for Google services.
