plain language
how ai is used.
Sheboyggin uses a little AI to make a few things possible — reading stories aloud, shaping some public text, and guiding life-chapter reflections. Here's exactly where, in plain language.
Reading stories aloud
the broadcast player on story pages
Your browser's built-in speech synthesis voices stories on demand. This runs on your own device — no audio is sent anywhere, and there is no third-party voice API. (We used to use ElevenLabs; we moved to browser-native speech so nothing leaves your device.)
Helping shape public content
some public-facing text
We use Anthropic's Claude API for limited transformations of content that is already public — never to read or process your private drafts or account data.
Life-chapter reflections
the life-chapter writing flow
The reflective prompts are powered by Google's Gemini. It helps generate the questions that guide your writing — what you write stays yours.
what we don't do
- No AI writes your stories for you — the words are yours.
- No third-party advertising or analytics trackers, ever.
- We don't sell your data.
