Tuhi, your storage assistant · AI access for other assistants

\n

What can an AI assistant see with AI access turned on?

\n

Short answer: It can read Storage Studio's overview: free space and what uses it, backup sets and versions, connected accounts, recent activity, duplicate findings, Recycle Vault totals, clean-up rules and ticket status. Never file contents, passphrases or credentials.

\n

An assistant can read Storage Studio's overview of your storage:

\n
  • storage status — free space and what's using it
  • your Data Backup sets and their versions
  • connected accounts and transfers
  • recent background activity
  • duplicate-file findings — how many sets and how much they could free
  • Recycle Vault — how much is recoverable and whether the drive is needed to restore
  • your clean-up rules
  • your support tickets' status
\n

It never sees the contents of your files, your passphrases or account credentials — just the overview it needs to answer accurately.
