AI USAGE DISCLOSURE

EatherAI System
Project Automod
Effective Date: March 7, 2026
Document Version: 1.0.0

Purpose of Eather

System Overview

EatherAI (referred to as "Eather") is an experimental AI assistant integrated into Project Automod. Eather operates exclusively via Discord direct messages and provides information about Project Automod features, commands, configuration, and general bot operation.

Primary Functions

1. Information Retrieval

   • Explain bot features and capabilities
   • Provide command syntax and usage
   • Clarify configuration options
   • Answer questions about moderation systems

2. Query Execution (Limited)

   • Retrieve guild configuration data upon request
   • Retrieve user profile data upon request
   • Lookup XP leaderboards upon request
   • Retrieve command history upon request
   • Lookup premium status upon request

3. Conversational Assistance

   • Maintain short-term conversation context
   • Provide clarifications based on prior exchanges
   • Adapt responses to user's expressed preferences

What Eather Is NOT

• Not autonomous: Eather cannot issue bans, kicks, warnings, or any moderation actions
• Not omniscient: Eather's knowledge is limited to training data cutoff and built-in knowledge base
• Not real-time: Eather does not have live access to external information
• Not decision-making: Eather provides suggestions, not authoritative rulings
• Not a replacement for staff: Complex issues require human review

AI Interaction Logging

What Is Logged

Every interaction with EatherAI is logged in full and stored indefinitely:

User Data:

• User ID (Discord numeric identifier)
• User tag (username#discriminator)
• Username

Interaction Data:

• User message content (the complete text of user's prompt)
• AI response content (the complete text of Eather's reply)
• Timestamp of interaction
• Model used (e.g., "gpt-4o")
• Prompt tokens consumed
• Completion tokens consumed
• Total tokens consumed
• Estimated cost in USD
• Premium status at time of request
• Query types executed (e.g., "guild_config", "user_lookup")

Memory Data:

• Short-term conversation context (last few exchanges for continuity)
• User preferences inferred during conversation
• Session metadata

Where Logs Are Stored

Operational Database:

• database/project/eatherai/usage_ledger.json - Last 10,000 interactions
• database/project/eatherai/memory.json - Active user memory contexts
• database/project/eatherai/history.json - Conversation histories

Master Integrity Ledger:

• All AI interactions are also logged to master ledger
• Permanent append-only record
• Never physically deleted

Log Retention

• Usage ledger: Last 10,000 entries kept, older entries auto-trimmed
• Memory: Cleared after user inactivity
• History: Recent conversations kept per user
• Master ledger: Permanent retention

No Anonymization

AI interaction logs are linked to Discord user IDs and are not anonymized. Project Automod can identify:

• Who asked what question
• What response was provided
• When the interaction occurred

Data Sent to External AI Providers

OpenAI Integration

EatherAI uses OpenAI's GPT-4o model. Data sent to OpenAI includes:

Sent to OpenAI:

• User message content (prompt)
• System prompt (role definition and guidelines)
• Conversation history (last few exchanges for context)
• Enriched data (if query execution was performed)

Received from OpenAI:

• AI-generated response content
• Token usage statistics (prompt, completion, total)
• Model identifier

OpenAI Data Policy

Data sent to OpenAI is subject to OpenAI's data policy, not Project Automod's policy. Refer to OpenAI's documentation for:

• Data retention by OpenAI
• Data usage by OpenAI
• Model training policies
• Privacy practices

Project Automod has no control over OpenAI's data handling.

No Self-Hosted AI

EatherAI does not use self-hosted AI models. All AI processing occurs via OpenAI API.

AI Data Retention

Operational Database

Usage Ledger:

• Keeps last 10,000 interactions
• Older entries automatically trimmed
• Stored in database/project/eatherai/usage_ledger.json

Memory Store:

• Active user memory contexts stored in database/project/eatherai/memory.json
• Cleared after inactivity period
• Not retained long-term

Conversation History:

• Recent exchanges stored in database/project/eatherai/history.json
• Last 6 exchanges per user kept
• Used for conversational continuity

Master Ledger

All AI interactions logged to master ledger:

• Append-only record
• Never physically deleted
• Permanent retention
• Includes full prompt and response

Manual Erasure

Users can request erasure of AI interaction logs via support channels:

• Logs in operational database can be manually deleted
• Master ledger entries are marked as erased (not deleted)
• OpenAI retention is outside Project Automod's control

Special Command:

• eather clear memory - Clears user's short-term memory context
• Does not delete usage ledger or master ledger entries

AI Privacy Considerations

What AI Can Access

EatherAI can access:

• User's own profile data
• Guild configuration data for guilds where user has admin permissions
• XP leaderboards for guilds where user is a member
• Command history for user's own commands
• Premium status for user's own account

EatherAI cannot access:

• Other users' private data
• Guild configurations user is not authorized to see
• Direct messages between other users
• Offense records of other users (unless user is moderator)
• Global ban incident details (unless user is staff)

Permission Checks

Before executing queries, EatherAI performs permission checks:

• Verifies user has access to requested data
• Respects Discord role hierarchy
• Honors guild privacy settings
• Enforces Project Automod access controls

Unauthorized queries are denied.

Data Enrichment

When AI needs to retrieve data to answer a question:

1. Stage 1: AI analyzes question and determines data needed
2. Data Request: AI requests specific data types (e.g., "guild_config")
3. Query Execution: Bot retrieves data and performs permission checks
4. Stage 2: AI receives data and generates enriched response

Data is never fabricated. If data cannot be retrieved, AI states this clearly.

User Rights Regarding AI Data

Access

Users can:

• Request AI interaction logs via support channels
• View summary of own AI usage via eather status command
• See total requests, tokens used, estimated cost

Deletion

Users can:

• Request deletion of AI interaction logs
• Clear short-term memory via eather clear memory command
• Request erasure from master ledger (marked as erased, not physically deleted)

Note: OpenAI retention is outside Project Automod's control.

Opt-Out

Users can opt out of AI interactions by:

• Not sending direct messages to the bot
• Not using EatherAI features

There is no global "opt out of AI" setting because AI only activates in direct messages.

AI Limitations Summary

Transparency Commitment

Project Automod commits to:

• Clearly documenting what EatherAI can and cannot do
• Logging all AI interactions
• Providing access to AI interaction logs upon request
• Disclosing when data is sent to OpenAI
• Stating limitations honestly
• Not misrepresenting AI capabilities

EatherAI is an assistant, not an oracle.

Future Development

Planned Enhancements (Not Yet Implemented)

• Multi-turn conversation improvements
• Expanded knowledge base
• More query types
• Guild-channel AI (beyond DMs)
