Artifact is a case study drafting tool for designers. This page explains what happens to your data when you use it — in plain English, not legal boilerplate.
Worth reading the full version below — especially the AI section.
Your project title, notes, and style preferences are typed into your browser. We don't store them on any server. When you leave or close the tab, that content is only saved in your own browser's local storage — on your device, not ours.
When you click Generate, your inputs (title, notes, style, structure mode, and any images you upload) are sent to an AI model to generate your draft. We use Google's Gemini API as the primary model, and Groq as a backup if Google is unavailable.
Important: Artifact runs on Google's free Gemini tier. On that tier, Google may use the content you send — your notes and images — to improve their products, and human reviewers may read it. Please don't paste anything confidential, under NDA, or covered by a client agreement. You can read the details in Google's Gemini API terms and Groq's policy at groq.com.
If you upload screenshots or project files, they're compressed in your browser and sent alongside your text when you generate. They're not stored anywhere by us after the request completes.
Artifact has no accounts, no sign-up, and no login. We don't collect your name, email address, or any identifying information.
Like any web service, our server briefly sees your IP address when you make a request. We use this only to apply a rate limit (to prevent abuse) — it's held in memory and not logged or stored persistently.
We use Vercel Analytics to count page visits and understand general usage patterns (e.g. how many people visit, what country they're from). This data is anonymised and aggregated — we can't identify individual users from it.
We use Sentry to catch bugs. If something breaks in your browser, Sentry receives the error message, the page you were on, your browser type, and a truncated IP address. It doesn't receive your project notes.
We don't use tracking cookies. Vercel Analytics may set a minimal cookie for visit deduplication.
