What are AI Insights?
AI Insights is an optional feature (for signed-in users) that uses artificial intelligence to analyze your flight data and generate personalized insights about your travel behavior. You get a summary of your flying patterns, key highlights about your travel style, and personalized travel recommendations. You're limited to 3 insight refreshes per day, with a 24-hour cache. Important: AI-generated insights are based on patterns in your data but may contain inaccuracies. Always verify important details independently.
Are AI Insights accurate?
AI Insights provides analysis based on patterns in your flight data, but like all AI systems, it may contain inaccuracies or misinterpretations. The feature is designed to give you interesting perspectives on your travel behavior, not to provide definitive statistics. For precise flight information, refer to your flight records. Always verify important details independently. We display a clear disclaimer on the Insights page reminding you of this limitation.
What happens to my data with AI Insights?
When you use AI Insights, your flight data is sent to OpenAI for analysis. OpenAI uses this data only to generate your insights and does not store it for training purposes. Please review OpenAI's privacy policy for more information. Your data is transmitted securely, and we never share your personal information with third parties. All insight generation happens server-side and is linked to your authenticated session.
