Do I need AI-provider tools just to chat with people?+
No. Human messaging and human Calls do not require AI-provider tools or an AI trial. Running agents on a work computer requires the supported provider setup for that workflow. Companion access and AI calling have their own availability and service requirements.
Do I need a CrewParley account?+
Hosted human conversations and companion access require supported signed-in account authorization. Legitimate supported local workflows can remain accountless. Cloud manages account and services; it is not another chat product.
What happens when the work computer is offline?+
An offline, paused, revoked or otherwise ineligible computer cannot execute the request. Selecting a computer or sending a message does not enable hosting. Check the displayed state and supported recovery; do not assume automatic failover or repeat work with an unknown outcome.
Which platforms can I access today?+
Access is by request. Windows, macOS, Android, iOS: in development. No public installers or store listings are approved.
Are human and AI Calls the same?+
No. Human audio is designed for two authorized people and does not use an AI speech worker. AI voice also processes audio and selected context through its voice service and AI provider. Human Calls: In development. AI Calls: In development. App-to-app voice does not establish group conferencing or general telephone service.
Does everything stay on my device?+
No. Hosted conversations reach platform services and other authorized participants. Agent context can reach the work computer and selected AI provider. AI voice has additional audio processing. Local orchestration, transport encryption and disabled app recording are not zero-retention or end-to-end privacy guarantees.
