FAQ

Is my data private when using the Iris writing assistant?

We prioritize the privacy and security of user data. The text processed by the writing assistant is treated as confidential and is not stored or used for any purpose other than generating suggestions. ChatGPT doesn’t use the submitted text for training purposes.

Are there any rate limits for using the Iris writing assistant features?

To ensure smooth performance and prevent abuse, there are rate limits in place for using the writing assistant features. This means that there is a cap on how often someone can repeat an action within a certain timeframe. These limits are set to maintain a high-quality user experience while also preserving system resources. If you encounter any rate limit notifications or have concerns about specific usage scenarios, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.

There are also limitations on the amount of requests we can send to OpenAI per minute.

Can the Iris writing assistant understand languages other than English?

Currently, the Iris writing assistant is highly proficient in understanding and generating English text.

However, it is essential to note that the model's performance will vary depending on the language and the complexity of the text being generated. Therefore, the model’s performance and accuracy might be higher for English compared to other languages.

Yes, after accepting the suggestion, the user can always edit the text, as if they were writing the text in the editor by themselves.
