How this works, and what it cannot do
- The clinician is scripted, not an AI. Every line was written in advance and is not medical advice.
- A phrase-checker in your browser reads your answer. It is a mirror, not a judge, and can miss a good answer worded differently.
- Nothing leaves your device. No audio is recorded, no model is called, nothing is sent.
- Everyone here is invented.
