Important Information for AI Helper Users: Protecting Your Data and Privacy

AI Helper requires connecting Studio 3T to your AI model using a unique API key.

No data values are passed via the API key to the AI model.

AI Helper shares only necessary field names, data types, and natural language queries with the AI model.

Users of tools leveraging large language models should be aware of the possible risks of sharing sensitive metadata with a third-party AI provider.
