How Your Canon works

Before you begin, we want you to know exactly what you're engaging with — how the AI works, how we handle your data, and what this tool can and can't do.

Under the Hood

How AI is used

Your Canon uses a large language model with specific instructions for career reflection conversations.

01

Guided conversation

Your Canon uses a large language model with specific instructions for career reflection. It asks questions and reflects back patterns — it doesn't tell you who you are.

02

Only what you share

The AI doesn't know anything before you tell it. It doesn't search external data, pull from LinkedIn, or make assumptions. Everything comes from your own stories.

03

Pattern recognition

The AI is instructed to notice what persists across your stories — contributions that show up regardless of title, company, or context.

04

Voice input (optional)

You can speak your reflections instead of typing. Audio is processed in real-time by a secure transcription service and is not stored. You review the transcript before sending.

Privacy

Your data

Your privacy matters. Here's how we handle your information.

Encrypted

Your reflection content is encrypted at rest and in transit.

Never sold

Your career reflections are never sold to third parties, used for advertising, or used to train AI models.

Exportable

Export your Canon as a PDF anytime. Your words, your document, your data.

Deletable

Request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time.

For complete details, see our Privacy Policy.

Your Wellbeing

Our commitments

We've built in safeguards to support your wellbeing throughout the reflection process.

Trauma-informed design

The AI slows down when heavy content emerges — layoffs, failures, grief — and offers space for what you're sharing.

Crisis detection

If you express thoughts of self-harm or crisis, the AI will pause the conversation and provide crisis resources.

No manipulative patterns

No dark patterns, no urgency tricks, no guilt-based retention. We earn your trust through transparency.

Clear boundaries

This is a professional reflection tool, not therapy or counseling. The AI stays focused on career reflection and redirects when conversations move beyond its scope.

Honest About Our Limits

Limitations

Like all AI systems, this tool has limitations you should know about.

AI can misunderstand

Pattern recognition isn't perfect. The AI may notice patterns that don't quite fit, or miss ones that matter. Always trust your own sense of what resonates.

AI can miss nuance

Cultural context may be limited. The AI may not fully understand work and identity contexts from all backgrounds and experiences.

This is a starting point

Your Canon is a reflection tool, not a final word. It can help you see patterns, but what you do with that recognition is yours.

Trust yourself over the AI

You are the authority on your own experience. If something doesn't feel right, say so — the AI is designed to listen.
