I share that concern, which is why I architected it with strict guardrails. The system is explicitly prompted to never give medical advice and uses your actual journal data to ground the response, preventing the AI from validating delusions. Crucially, to avoid dependency, chats are never saved, they live in your browser’s RAM and vanish instantly when you refresh.

1. On Google I send stateless requests. Google sees one IP (mine) sending unrelated prompts without User IDs. They cannot distinguish individual users or build a profile from that.

2. Why pay vs Duck.ai: Duck.ai is just a chat window; it has context framework to log addiction related data. LiftMind tracks your moods, streaks, and journals, then injects that context into the AI automatically. You get advice based on your actual behavioral trends over time, not just generic answers.

I totally get the skepticism, honestly, I dislike 99% of the ‘AI + Crypto’ hype myself.

Why AI: I use it strictly as a privacy tool. It allows users to get guidance without a human ever reading their sensitive journal entries.

Why Monero: I treat it purely as digital cash, not an investment. It’s the only way to pay without creating a permanent bank trail, which is crucial for some people in recovery.

And yes, I accept standard credit card payments via Stripe. Monero is just an option for those who need absolute anonymity.

Nature is healing indeed.
