Hybrid by design
Local first, cloud when it counts. Quick answers stay on your device, where they're fast and private. Bigger jobs, like Flame working through a project, get extra horsepower from the cloud.
CanopyChat answers right on your phone or computer and keeps your chats, photos, files, and location in your hands.

When a job needs more muscle, CanopyChat calls on the cloud, and only then.
Local first, cloud when it counts. Quick answers stay on your device, where they're fast and private. Bigger jobs, like Flame working through a project, get extra horsepower from the cloud.
We keep everything we can on your device. Anything that goes to the cloud travels encrypted, without your name or account attached, and isn't kept afterward, unless it powers something you turned on, like Flame's memory. How we handle your data
Less infrastructure, less energy, less impact. Just you and your assistant, under the canopy.
CanopyChat contributes a percentage of revenue to help advance emerging permanent carbon-removal technologies through Stripe Climate. Not credits that expire — tech that pulls carbon out for good.
Your chat history lives on your phone or computer, not in someone else's database.
Your conversations aren't stored in the cloud by default. Anything that is, like Flame's memory, is something you switched on.
Ask about something current or nearby, and CanopyChat brings in fresh, local answers.
