AI is revolutionizing how we work and collaborate. Read this article to learn more about Lucid’s approach to AI including how we handle your privacy, security, and data. You can also learn more about the various AI functionality available now in Lucid.

Lucid’s AI capabilities are currently available to all users but may be subject to a paid subscription model in the future. Lucid AI capabilities are currently available in English only. 

Lucid’s approach to AI

At Lucid, we care about our customers' confidence in the features we develop. At the core of our development process is a deep understanding of every workflow each feature supports and a relentless commitment to protecting your privacy and data. That’s why we’re developing AI features in Lucid that keep your data secure while providing the best experience and bringing the most value.

We care about security at every step of the process—starting at where data comes from, where it’s stored, and how it’s used to train models. Here are the facts:

  • By default, AI capabilities are turned on for all Lucid accounts with access.
  • Lucid does not use customer data to train models in a way that breaches the confidentiality of our customers' data.
  • We do not use your prompt inputs to generate content for other customers based on your data. 
  • We do not permit our third-party AI service providers to use customer data to improve or train artificial intelligence models.
  • We do store documents for your use and any content on those documents are stored for your use as well.

As we expand our AI capabilities, we will continue to do so in a way that does not breach the confidentiality of our customers' data.

Privacy, security, and your data

Lucid is dedicated to upholding its commitments to you regarding the privacy, security, and safety of your data, including with any AI features. Your use of these features is subject to either Lucid's Terms of Service or your MSA with Lucid (as applicable), Lucid's Privacy Policy, and Lucid's Supplemental AI Terms.

Lucid currently employs AI models powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and AWS Bedrock. Please visit our Sub-Processor List to learn more about their approach to data, privacy and security and to stay up-to-date with other best-in-class vendors we may use in the future. To read more about AI security in the Lucid platform, check out our whitepaper in the Lucid Trust Center.

Admin on Team and Enterprise accounts can disable AI for their accounts.
