How AI works · 3.0 preview

Two different kinds of AI.
A clear choice about sharing.

Apple’s on-device model and external AI services are separate. Connecting Apple Health is a separate permission too.

Apple Intelligence on your device

On compatible devices running iOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence enabled and the model available, Kriva can use Apple’s Foundation Models framework locally. Device, language and regional availability apply.

In the new Home, Patterns and visit highlights, the model selects from facts the app has already calculated. It does not invent a measurement or change the underlying values. These highlights have no cloud fallback; ordinary recorded content remains available when the model is unavailable.

External AI is optional

Some features, including external questions and photo analysis, can use Anthropic or OpenAI through Kriva’s service. Kriva asks for separate permission before using external AI. It is not automatically authorised by enabling Apple Intelligence or Apple Health.

Depending on the feature and what you enter, requests may include health records, profile context, notes, questions, extracted report values or a selected photo. A selected image can contain identifying details. Automated removal of identifiers cannot guarantee anonymity.

You can change external AI sharing in You → Privacy & data → How AI works. Turning it off prevents new external AI requests; it does not retract information already sent.

What stays available without external AI?

You can record symptoms, use built-in support, keep notes and prepare a visit summary. Features that depend on an external response need permission and a connection. On-device features also depend on device capabilities.

Photos, notes and visit summaries

Reading text from supported reports can happen on-device. Optional external photo analysis sends the chosen image only after the relevant consent. Review extracted details and food estimates before saving.

Adding a note to visit preparation includes its text in your summary. It does not send it to a doctor. You decide whether to share the summary and with whom. Photo attachments are not included in the Notes text export.

Apple Health

On iPhone, Kriva reads the health categories you permit to provide context. You can separately choose to share a recorded period-flow entry with Apple Health. With separate permission, completing a breathing session on Apple Watch can save a Mind & Body workout. Apple Health access is separate from external AI consent. Relevant readings may be included in an external request when that sharing is enabled.

Storage and provider policies

Your personal records use the app’s local storage and supported iCloud sync. External requests involve Kriva’s service and the selected provider. Do not treat a request as anonymous just because a name is not requested.

See the Kriva Privacy Policy, Anthropic Privacy Policy and OpenAI Privacy Policy for data handling. These services are not Apple’s on-device model.

AI supports the experience; it does not direct your treatment

AI can make mistakes. Kriva does not diagnose conditions or automatically change medication. Check important information with a qualified professional, and seek urgent care for an urgent concern.
