How Lou handles your data

What Lou can read, what's sent to our AI provider, and how changes are approved.

How Lou, Ask Lou's AI assistant, answers a question and proposes a change to your data

In short

  • AI is off until your company turns it on.
  • Lou reads only through a fixed set of lookups, for your company only, and his figures come from the app's own calculations.
  • One AI provider, Anthropic, under commercial terms that don't allow your data to be used for training.
  • Nothing Lou proposes is saved until you approve it, except notes, which he confirms with you first.
  • Conversations are deleted 90 days after their last activity.

The diagram above shows each step. For the detail, see Where Lou's answers come from and Approving changes Lou proposes.
