## What it is
Confer is an AI assistant whose site says every conversation is end-to-end encrypted, so the operator cannot read chats, train on them or hand them over. It presents itself as coming from the creator of Signal and offers writing help, image understanding, web search with sources, memory, folders and ChatGPT import, running on an open model. The site says the software is open source and links to a public GitHub organisation, with separate pages explaining its encryption and private inference design. Unlike account-free tools, sign-up is required through Google, Apple or an email address. It is free to start with no credit card, and the homepage lists no cryptocurrency payment option.
