AI Policy – Hamster Soup Forever

This policy explains how Hamster Soup uses artificial intelligence—both how I build the app and how AI works for you inside the app on iOS and Android.

1. AI tools in development

I use AI-powered tools while creating the app—things like brainstorming, drafting, refactoring, reviewing code, and translations. That work happens on my side during development.

2. AI features inside the app (for you)

The AI features you use in Hamster Soup are powered by on-device intelligence built into your device’s operating system (for example, Apple’s on-device models on supported iPhone and iPad hardware, or on-device AI services on supported Android devices). They run entirely on your phone or tablet. Your content is processed and cached locally; it is not sent to Mutant Soup’s servers or to a third-party cloud AI service for those features.

That’s intentional: I care about privacy, battery life, and a fun experience without routing your feeds through someone else’s data center.

3. How the app works today—and where I’m headed

This is how the app works today. Earlier versions relied partly or fully on cloud AI; current releases use local, on-device AI only for in-app features. Going forward, I plan to keep investing in low-power, on-device AI as platform APIs evolve on iOS and Android.

4. Device and OS requirements

On-device AI in the app is available only on devices and OS versions that support your platform’s on-device AI features. If your hardware or software does not meet those requirements, AI-powered features will not be available until you use a supported device and update to a supported system version.
