Private Chat FAQ
What's being launched?
Why is it called “private” chat?
Your chats are protected by hardware security. In simple terms: even our engineers can’t see what you write — not now, not later.
The conversations run inside a hardware‑isolated enclave — Intel TDX or NVIDIA GPU Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The CPU/GPU guarantees that no software outside the enclave can read, modify, or tamper with the data. All messages are signed with a key generated inside the enclave, so you can cryptographically verify that the response really came from the trusted runtime.
Why this matters to you:
- Zero‑knowledge to the host – Even NEAR AI team cannot read your messages.
- Cryptographic proof – You can verify, yourself, that the AI response was produced inside a genuine TEE.

How do I share feedback?
We would love to hear from you! On the bottom right of the chat interface, you’ll see a feedback form. Please use it to share your thoughts, issues, or ideas.
Important: While your AI chat is fully private, your feedback through the feedback widget is shared with the NEAR AI team so we can act on it.
- What’s private? – All AI conversations remain private and stay inside the TEE.
- What’s not private? – Feedback you submit through the widget is sent to our team for analysis and is not stored in a TEE. Optionally, you can provide your email to join our Alpha Insider program.
