AI and privacy

Kenny Writer does not operate a cloud service for your manuscripts. Your drafts, binder structure, writing goals, and API keys stay on your computer.

Point Kenny Writer at a local Ollama runtime (or any compatible local endpoint) to run Revise and Agent prompts completely offline on your own hardware.

If you configure an external cloud provider with your own API key, only the prompt and the context you explicitly attach are sent to that provider. Every AI suggestion opens in a review diff first — nothing overwrites your manuscript automatically.
