.thing is a voice companion and interview practice tool made by Abiola Apooyin. This page explains, in plain words, what happens to what you say and share.

The short version

• There are no accounts, ads or tracking cookies.
• Your interview history, resume and settings are saved only in your own browser, on your device.
• To understand you and reply, what you say is sent to the speech and AI services listed below.
• Don't share anything you wouldn't want an AI service to process, such as ID or bank numbers.

Your voice

.thing asks your browser for the microphone. Turning your speech into text is done by your browser's built-in speech service: Chrome and Edge send the audio to Google or Microsoft, and Safari sends it to Apple. .thing doesn't record or keep your audio.

The sphere's movement is worked out on your device from the sound level and never leaves it.

What's sent to the AI service

To write replies, run interviews and give feedback, .thing sends the text of the conversation to local service. In interview mode that includes your resume and the job description you provide. Natural voices are also created by local service from the text of each reply.

If .thing uses a key server, it only passes requests to Google and back. It doesn't store what you say.

What's saved on your device

• Your last resume, job description and interview round, so you don't have to retype them.
• Your interview history: transcripts, scores, feedback and practice attempts.
• Your voice choices, and simple counts of how often features are used.

None of this is sent to Abiola or anyone else. It stays until you remove it.

Deleting your data

• Open Progress and choose Clear all history, or delete interviews one at a time.
• To remove everything, clear this site's data in your browser settings.

Feedback is practice, not a judgment

Scores and feedback are produced by AI to help you practise. They can be wrong, and they don't reflect how any real employer will assess you.
