Why we don't want your prompt data.
Most modern AI software is built to capture your queries in a central database to train proprietary embeddings or resell token compute. Cue is deliberately architected as a local tool. We don't want your company's codebases, executive emails, or research questions on our servers. Cue is software you run, not a service you surrender your work to.
