Data generated by AI about you

The AI is able to automatically decide when to save or retrieve data about you from a database, during your conversations. It can only access the database via restricted functions I have predetermined. The database is managed by Turso, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and located within the EU. Each entry includes the following:

• Id: a unique identifier for the entry
• User ID: your unique identifier
• Created at: the date and time of the entry
• Doing: a sentance generated by the AI about the thing you said you were doing
• Feeling: a sentance generated by the AI about the way you said you were feeling
• Sentiment: a number between 0 and 1 indicating how negative or positive the entry is
• Embedding: a vector embedding created by OpenAI used to find related entries
• Start & End Color: a gradient generated by the AI
• Poem: a poem generated by the AI
