Iris, your guide
Who can see my idea and my work?
Why it works this way
Other founders do not see your boards. What you enter goes to AI and search services to produce your results, and to a coding agent only if you connect one, and our team can open a board for the reasons the Privacy Policy lists.
An idea is the most sensitive thing you bring here, and often nobody else has seen it yet. So a board stays on your side: nothing of yours is posted, and there is no button that publishes a board. What else happens to what you add is set out in the Privacy Policy.
What we gave up: A link you could send to anyone to show a board.
What it is
Your boards are not shown to other founders. Only you can see them. What you put on a board, your starting points, conversations, transcripts, notes and results, is saved in your account. There is no page where another founder can look at it, and no button that makes a board public. Inviting people onto a board is not offered today.
If you connect a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, it can read your boards with the key you made: your Spaces, Problems, Opportunities, the one line of your Blueprint, and your Tests, including the quotes and source links on them and what you recorded on your tests. It can also take your Blueprint as a brief to build from. The connection is on Pro and Studio. It never gets your chats with Iris, the simulated people, who's circling, what's been tried, the build prompts you made, the edit history, or the transcripts and recordings of conversations you added. What it reads goes to that agent and the company that runs it, under your own agreement with them, so what they do with it is between you and them. Quotes and what you recorded can be about real people, so the care below about other people's details applies here too. Revoke the key in Settings and its access stops straight away. What it already read stays with that agent. See How do I connect a coding agent?.
Our team can open a board when you ask us for help, to look into abuse or a security problem, to fix something that broke, or when the law requires it. The Privacy Policy says what else, lists the services that run the product and what each one receives, and says what your rights are.
How to use it
- Know what goes where. To produce your results, the product sends AI services what a step needs: what you typed, the parts of your board it works from, and the text of conversations you added when a step reads them. That includes what Iris, your AI guide, reads before she answers you. Search services get what they need to look something up, such as search terms and the websites you point it at, not your name or email address.
- Before you add a transcript, make sure you have the right to share it, and take out names and anything confidential if you can. If you spoke to someone, you are responsible for telling them what you do with the conversation. The Terms ask you not to submit other people's confidential or personal information without permission.
- Leave out what the test does not need. A password or a card number does nothing for a discovery. Do not type one.
- Ask for removal of a board, a conversation or your account, or for a copy of what we hold, with Tell Omer or by writing to the address in the Privacy Policy. See How do I remove a board, or ask for my data to be removed?.
- Sign out from the menu when you are on a shared computer.
What it will never do
- Show your board to another founder.
- Open your board for a reason the Privacy Policy does not list.
If something looks off
- Someone you interviewed asks what happened to their conversation. Tell them what you added and why. If they want it removed, use Tell Omer and say which board.
- You added something you should not have, such as another person's details or something confidential. Use Tell Omer and say which board, and we will help you remove it.
- You do not see a teammate's board. A board lives in the account that made it.
- You need an answer a lawyer can rely on, or one for a school or an employer. The Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service are the documents that bind. This guide is not legal advice.
