Question 1

Is my text sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The in-browser AI, Chrome’s built-in AI and the offline method all run on your device. The first time you use the in-browser AI, your browser downloads the model from Hugging Face, a public model host (about 800 MB, once); your text is never sent.

Question 2

What happens without AI?

Accepted Answer

You get the passages of the document that best match your question, with your words marked, so you can read the answer yourself.

Question 3

Can I trust the answer?

Accepted Answer

Check it against the passages shown under it. The AI is told to answer only from the document and to say when it does not know, but it can still be wrong.
