DaoDaily includes AI-powered features — Ask Dao (an AI companion inspired by Taoist thought) and AI journaling reflection. This page explains, in plain language, what these features are and what they are not.

1. AI-Generated Content

Responses from Ask Dao and AI journaling reflection are generated by artificial intelligence (large language models), not written by a human, and not reviewed by a human before they reach you. AI-generated content is labeled as such in the app.

2. Reflection, Not Advice

AI responses are philosophical and reflective prompts inspired by Taoist and Eastern thought. They are not medical, psychological, mental-health, legal, financial, or any other form of professional advice, and they are not a substitute for professional care. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation — please use your own judgment for anything that matters.

If you are in emotional distress or crisis, do not rely on this app. Please contact a qualified professional or your local crisis or emergency services.

3. No Predictions

DaoDaily does not predict the future, tell fortunes, or promise outcomes or luck. Daily hexagrams and AI responses are lenses for reflection — mirrors for your own thinking, not verdicts about your life.

4. Your Data and Third-Party AI Providers

  • When you use AI features, the content you submit is sent from your device to our server and then to our AI processing provider to generate a response.
  • Our production AI provider is Microsoft Azure OpenAI (United States region). Azure OpenAI does not use customer data to train its models.
  • Pre-release internal testing builds may use Alibaba Cloud Bailian as the AI provider; production releases do not.
  • The first time you use an AI feature, the app will tell you about this data flow and ask for your explicit consent. If you decline, you can continue using all non-AI features.
  • We do not use your conversations or journals for advertising, and we do not sell them.

5. Content Moderation and Reporting

AI responses pass through automated safety filters before they are shown. If something inappropriate still gets through, you can report it in the app (long-press the message → Report) or by emailing [email protected]. We maintain a review queue and will remove or address reported content promptly.
