Concrete substitutions
| Instead of | Paste this |

| Full medical chart | Adult with symptom A for 3 days, no meds list |

Frequently asked questions
Can I fully use AI without sharing any data?
Not if the model runs in the cloud - the prompt itself is data. You can avoid sharing sensitive data.
Do local models solve this?
They help a lot if nothing phones home.
Does Secrypt help here?
