How Ve AI understands your work
Ve AI's ability to understand what you're working on comes from a process called Context Awareness. It's designed to be powerful and private, giving you the benefit of a personalized AI without compromising your security.
This article explains how context awareness works, what Ve AI captures, and how you can control it.
How Ve AI gathers context
Instead of recording your screen with video or screenshots, Ve AI reads the text and elements of your active applications, content that is currently visible on your screen. This includes things like:
Text from documents, emails, or websites you are actively viewing
The names of the applications you are using (e.g. Slack, Google Chrome)
Information from your meeting notes or project plans if they are displayed on your screen
This process runs every two seconds, allowing Ve AI to build a memory of your recent activity so it can answer your questions accurately.
This allows Ve AI to build a private, encrypted index of your activity. This index is what gives Ve AI its unique "memory" of your work, allowing it to provide you with intelligent and relevant assistance.
What Ve AI does NOT do
Your privacy is our highest priority. To be perfectly clear:
Ve AI is not a screen recorder or a keylogger. It does not record video of your screen or log your individual keystrokes.
It does not capture passwords. It is designed to automatically ignore password fields.
Your data is always private and encrypted. It is never used to train our or any third-party AI models.
You are always in full control. In Ve AI's settings, you can exclude any application from context awareness, and you can delete your past context at any time.
How to control context awareness
By default, context awareness is enabled when you start Ve AI. You have full, immediate control over when Ve AI is aware of your context.
The menu bar icon:
For quick access, you can use the Ve AI icon in your Mac's menu bar (at the very top of your screen). Clicking this icon you can see following options:
Pause Context Collection - Use this to pause context awareness at any time.
Exclude current app - Exclude the app you are currently using from being captured.
