Before you use an AI feature

AI Data Usage

ReadyCat uses AI only when you start an AI action. Content travels from your iPhone through Vercel AI Gateway to the named model provider; the ReadyCat Cloudflare Worker does not proxy AI requests.

What is sent for each feature

  • Guide import: selected guide screenshots go to OpenAI for image-to-Markdown extraction. The extracted text goes to DeepSeek to identify trip metadata, restaurants, dishes, recommendations, and useful context.
  • Menu scan: selected menu photos go to OpenAI for menu reading. Extracted menu text and relevant saved guide dish names go to DeepSeek to produce structured dishes and a recommendation-match marker.
  • Trip and dish artwork: limited text derived from trip context, dish names, or visual descriptions goes to DeepSeek and/or Black Forest Labs FLUX. Original guide and menu images are not sent to FLUX.
  • Key check: a minimal test prompt goes through Vercel AI Gateway to Meta Llama to confirm that a key works. It contains no trip, guide, menu, or order content.

Current providers and purposes

  • Vercel AI Gateway — authenticates the Gateway key and routes every AI request.
  • OpenAI — openai/gpt-5-nano reads guide screenshots; openai/gpt-5.6-luna reads restaurant menu images.
  • DeepSeek — deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro structures extracted text, marks guide-recommended dishes, and generates limited appearance recommendations.
  • Black Forest Labs — bfl/flux-2-klein-4b generates optional trip-cover and dish artwork.
  • Meta Llama — meta/llama-3.1-8b receives only the minimal Gateway-key verification prompt.

Image preparation

ReadyCat resizes guide images to at most 1,600 pixels on the long edge and menu images to at most 2,048 pixels, then encodes them as JPEG. Temporary request files are deleted after the request attempt.

What ReadyCat’s server does not receive

The Cloudflare Worker used for the public website and a disconnected billing experiment does not receive guide images, menu images, prompts, extracted Markdown, model output, trips, or orders. It cannot read the local travel database on your iPhone.

Keys, diagnostics, and retention

The active Vercel AI Gateway key is one you provide yourself. It is kept in iOS Keychain and is not sent to ReadyCat’s server. ReadyCat currently does not sell credits or issue managed keys.

Production diagnostics are designed to exclude authorization headers, keys, full images, prompts, extracted Markdown, model responses, and sensitive free text. Vercel and model providers process requests under their own terms, settings, and retention rules. ReadyCat does not promise zero retention or no model improvement unless the applicable provider and Gateway settings expressly provide it.

Your choices

  • Do not start an AI action if you do not want the disclosed transfer.
  • Do not upload passports, payment cards, health data, precise travel documents, or other sensitive personal information.
  • Only upload screenshots and photos you are allowed to use.
  • Review and edit all results before relying on them or showing an order card.
  • Delete local trips, dining sessions, images, or the Gateway key from the app when you no longer want them.

AI limitations

Image reading, translation, recommendation markers, dietary interpretation, prices, and generated artwork can be wrong or incomplete. ReadyCat is not a medical, allergy-safety, legal, or restaurant-confirmation service. Confirm ingredients, allergens, price, availability, and the final order directly with restaurant staff.

Provider information

Provider terms can change. Review the official policies linked below before using AI. If ReadyCat materially changes the providers or purposes, this page and the in-app disclosure will be updated before the new processing is used.
