Yes. Bixberry is designed so that contributing your device’s idle resources is safe, private, and unobtrusive. Here’s exactly what we do with your device — and, just as importantly, what we don’t.
How it works in simple terms
AI assistants need to check the live web to answer questions accurately — a model is trained once, but the world keeps changing. Bixberry routes those requests through the connections of people who choose to share, so AI can see a current, local view of the internet instead of relying only on what it was trained on.
Your connection only steps in during idle moments. Nothing runs on your device beyond passing along legitimate AI requests — no code executes locally, and the network is built with safeguards so it can't be used for anything else.
