Frequently asked questions
Is my content uploaded to Toolardo?
No. This tool uses browser-provided on-device AI for processing. Toolardo does not receive the text, image, audio or PDF content.
Why can the tool be disabled?
The required built-in AI API may be missing, the local model may be unavailable, the device may not meet hardware/storage requirements, or the feature may not support mobile browsers.
Does the browser download a model?
It may. Built-in AI APIs can download local model or language-pack files on first use. The browser manages those files.
