Does using the assistant send information to an external AI provider?

It can. Cedros sends the information needed for the requested AI feature to the configured provider, including relevant inputs or context. Managed providers are subject to Cedros's privacy commitments; bring-your-own-key accounts also follow your agreement with that provider. Retention can vary by feature and provider. Ask Cedros about your required data-handling terms before submitting information with special restrictions. Read about AI providers.
