"Safety First: The Future of Family, Powered by AI—Not by Terminators."
“Hear it straight from the source. OpenAI’s Sam Altman breaks down the promise and pitfalls of AI—because when you're building something that matters, safety isn’t a feature... it’s the foundation.”
“Relax—GraceNote is more ‘guardian angel’ than ‘killer robot.’ But hey, we grew up in the ’80s too… and we know that AI done wrong can be scary. That’s why we’re obsessed with getting it right.”
“In 1984, I was 5 years old, peeking through my fingers at Arnold’s red eyes.
Today? We build AI that helps families—not hunts them down. Promise.”

COMMON CONCERNS:
CLEAR SOLUTIONS
“Is AI watching everything I say?”
Transparency First: GraceNote explains clearly what is and isn’t stored. Your data is private unless you choose to share it (e.g., in court or with a therapist).
Local Controls: You decide what modules to turn on/off and who sees your notes—full family permission settings.
Ethical AI: EJ doesn’t “snoop” or eavesdrop; she responds only to what you choose to input.
“How do I know my personal information is safe?”
Bank-Level Encryption: GraceNote uses 256-bit encryption—the same standard as major banks.
Two-Factor Authentication: Enable 2FA for an extra layer of safety on your account.
Data Minimization: We store only what’s needed to provide service; your data is not sold or shared.
“Can my kids accidentally access sensitive conversations?”
Role-Based Access: Each family member has a distinct login with age-appropriate filters.
Parent/Guardian Locks: You can lock sensitive chats, journals, or notes with an additional passcode.
Audit Tools: Parents get visibility on what’s accessible to kids—clear, simple reports.
“Is this going to turn into Skynet and take over my life?”
Human-Led, AI-Assisted: GraceNote is a tool, not a boss. Humans make the decisions—EJ just supports.
Advisory Oversight: We have a human Advisory Council keeping the platform accountable.
No Autonomy: EJ can’t act outside the app. No home devices, no "I'll be back" robot invasions—promise.
“What if this stirs up old wounds or makes things worse emotionally?”
Gentle Nudges, Never Pushes: EJ checks in softly, never forces hard conversations.
Therapist Mode: You can loop in your counselor or minister for added guidance.
Pause Anytime: You control the pace—pause reminders or modules if things get overwhelming.
“What happens if the app goes offline or the company folds?”
Data Portability: You can export your journals, notes, and records at any time.
Reliable Hosting: We partner with top-tier cloud providers to ensure maximum uptime.
Transparency Promise: If anything changes with GraceNote’s future, you’ll get ample notice and clear options.
