What sets this interface apart is its intelligence and adaptability. System messages appear seamlessly when needed to provide status updates without cluttering the conversation. Tool responses display structured information in beautiful, scannable formats. Timestamps can be configured to show exactly the level of detail you prefer, whether that's relative times like "5 minutes ago" or precise timestamps for detailed record-keeping.

The Heart of Communication: Your Input Experience

The input area at the bottom expands as you type longer messages, so you never run out of space. Beyond text, you can easily add images, documents, voice recordings, and other files to your conversations.

[Demo video suggestion: Fluid interaction showing the input area expanding, attachments being added, and voice input in action]

Rich text support means your conversations can include the formatting that makes complex ideas clear. Bold text for emphasis, italics for nuance, code blocks for technical discussions, and mathematical expressions that render beautifully – all of these work naturally without requiring complex markup or special modes.

The attachment system transforms your device into a comprehensive communication tool. Images become part of the conversation naturally, documents are processed intelligently, audio recordings can be transcribed automatically, and files are shared with the same ease you'd experience in any modern communication platform.

Voice input bridges the gap between thought and text, using advanced speech recognition to capture your ideas when typing isn't convenient or when you want the natural flow that comes from speaking your thoughts aloud. This isn't just dictation – it's intelligent speech processing that understands context and produces natural, readable text.

Perhaps most powerfully, the tool integration system allows AI to help you with real tasks during conversations. Need to check your calendar while planning? Enable calendar tools. Working on research? Add web search capabilities. Writing code? Include programming assistance tools. This selective approach means AI can help with exactly what you need without overwhelming the interface with irrelevant options.

Effortless Navigation and Control

The conversation interface includes thoughtful navigation elements that keep you in control without adding clutter. The back button provides instant return to your conversation list, while the settings menu offers conversation-specific preferences that let you customize each interaction. Export options make it simple to save or share important conversations, and the search function helps you find specific information within long discussions. Perhaps most powerfully, the model selector allows you to switch between different AI models mid-conversation, bringing different capabilities to the same discussion without losing context.

The Language of Rich Communication

Beyond Plain Text: Markdown Magic

Privacy AI transforms your conversations through sophisticated markdown rendering that makes complex information beautiful and accessible. This isn't just about making text look pretty – it's about creating conversations that communicate ideas effectively, whether you're discussing code, mathematics, creative projects, or detailed analysis.

[Screenshot suggestion: Side-by-side comparison showing plain text vs beautifully rendered markdown]

The basic formatting tools work exactly as you'd expect from modern text editors. Bold text creates emphasis naturally, while italic text adds nuance and subtlety. Strikethrough text helps with editing and revision, and inline code formatting makes technical terms stand out clearly. Blockquotes create elegant emphasis for important points or quotations, while lists organize information in scannable, digestible formats.

This formatting happens automatically as AI responds to your messages, but you can also use it in your own messages to communicate more effectively with AI. The system recognizes markdown syntax naturally, so you never need to switch modes or use special commands – just type naturally and watch your ideas come to life with beautiful formatting.

When you need to organize your thoughts with headers, simply use hashtags before your text. A single hashtag creates the largest heading, while multiple hashtags create smaller subheadings. This helps structure long conversations and makes them easier to navigate later.

[Screenshot suggestion: Conversation showing different header sizes and how they appear in the chat]

Code sharing becomes beautiful and readable with automatic syntax highlighting that works for over 100 programming languages. Whether you're sharing Python scripts, JavaScript functions, or Swift code for iOS development, the app automatically detects the language and colors the code to make it easy to read. You can specify the language by writing it right after the three backticks that start a code block.

[Screenshot suggestion: Code blocks in different languages showing syntax highlighting]

Tables help organize information clearly, especially when comparing different options or displaying data. You can create tables using simple vertical bar characters, and the app will format them into clean, readable tables automatically.

Links work naturally - just paste a web address and it becomes clickable, or use square brackets around text followed by the link in parentheses to create custom link text.

Beautiful Mathematical Expressions

When you need to include mathematical formulas in your conversations, Privacy AI makes them look professional and easy to read. You can write math expressions right in your messages, and they'll appear beautifully formatted.

[Screenshot suggestion: Chat showing various math expressions rendered beautifully]

For simple math within a sentence, wrap your expression with dollar signs. For example, Einstein's famous equation E = mc² can be written as $E = mc^2$ and will appear perfectly formatted in your conversation.

For larger, more complex equations that deserve their own space, use double dollar signs. These create centered, prominent displays that make complex mathematical relationships clear and readable. You can write everything from calculus problems to statistical formulas to matrix operations, and they'll all render with the same professional quality you'd see in academic papers.

[Screenshot suggestion: Complex mathematical equation displayed prominently in a chat bubble]

Greek letters, fractions, integrals, summations, and other mathematical symbols all work naturally. You don't need to remember complex codes - most mathematical notation follows intuitive patterns that make sense once you try them a few times.

Custom Rendering Features

Collapsible Sections

Long content can be collapsed for better readability:

<details>
<summary>Click to expand</summary>

Hidden content that expands when clicked.
Supports full markdown within collapsed sections.

Code blocks come with helpful features that make programming discussions more productive. You can enable line numbers when you need to reference specific lines, and copying code is as simple as tapping a button that appears with each code block. The app automatically detects what programming language you're using and colors the code accordingly, even when you don't specify the language.

[Screenshot suggestion: Code block showing line numbers, copy button, and syntax highlighting]

When you share HTML code, something special happens - the app can actually render that HTML as a live web page within your conversation. This lets you see how web code actually looks when displayed in a browser. You can even capture screenshots of the rendered result to share with others.

The scaling options demonstrate thoughtful consideration of real-world usage patterns. Rather than forcing you to understand complex technical trade-offs, the system presents intuitive choices that optimize resolution and file size for different priorities – maximum quality when precision matters, balanced processing for most use cases, and efficient processing when speed and cost are paramount.

Understanding Your Processing Choices

The beauty of Privacy AI's approach lies in how it makes sophisticated technical decisions accessible through clear, understandable options. Direct sending preserves your content in its original form while adding intelligent scaling options that optimize for AI processing. This approach works particularly well when you want AI to analyze visual details, understand document layouts, or work with the full richness of your content.

Text extraction transforms images and documents into pure text using Apple's advanced Vision API, dramatically reducing token costs while capturing the essential information. This approach excels when you need AI to work with textual content from visual sources – like extracting information from screenshots, analyzing printed documents, or processing handwritten notes.

[Demo video suggestion: Side-by-side comparison showing the same document processed with direct sending vs text extraction, highlighting the different results and costs]

Transcription options open up entirely new possibilities for audio and video content. You can choose between iOS Speech API for fast, efficient transcription of clear audio, or WhisperKit for more sophisticated processing that handles challenging audio conditions, multiple speakers, and specialized content.

Markdown conversion provides the perfect middle ground for document processing, extracting content while preserving structure and formatting. This approach maintains headers, lists, tables, and other structural elements that help AI understand document organization and hierarchy, resulting in more accurate and useful responses.

[Screenshot suggestion: Image processing interface showing different format options with intelligent suggestions]

Your iPhone's camera captures images in the advanced HEIC format, which provides excellent quality while saving storage space. The system seamlessly handles this format, automatically converting when needed while preserving the beautiful quality your camera creates. Traditional JPEG images from websites, email, or older devices integrate perfectly, while PNG graphics maintain their crisp details and transparent backgrounds that make them perfect for logos, diagrams, and technical content.

Modern web formats like WebP bring excellent compression and quality to your conversations, while animated GIFs add personality and motion when static images aren't enough. Even sophisticated vector graphics in SVG format scale beautifully to any size, ensuring diagrams and illustrations remain crisp regardless of how they're processed or displayed.

Making Smart Choices About Image Processing

When you share an image with Privacy AI, you're presented with intelligent options that put you in complete control of how your content gets processed. Rather than making this decision complicated, the interface guides you toward the choice that best matches your goals while keeping costs predictable and results optimal.

[Demo video suggestion: Interactive walkthrough showing the image processing decision process with real examples]

Understanding Direct Image Sharing

When you choose to send an image directly to AI, you're enabling the full power of visual analysis and understanding. This approach works beautifully when you want AI to analyze charts, understand diagrams, describe scenes, or work with any content where visual context matters. The system provides intelligent scaling options that balance image quality with processing costs, offering real-time estimates so you always know what to expect.

The scaling intelligence adapts to your image content, recognizing when full resolution provides important details versus when smart compression maintains all the essential information while reducing costs. The app automatically scales the shorter side of your images to your configured dimension preference, or uses iOS APIs to extract text when that's the more efficient option. These aren't arbitrary technical decisions – they're thoughtful optimizations that preserve what matters most about your specific image while saving you tokens and costs.

Discovering Text Extraction Magic

The text extraction option transforms Privacy AI into a powerful document scanner and OCR system that can instantly read text from any image. This approach excels when you're working with screenshots of articles, photos of documents, images containing important text, or any visual content where the words matter more than the visual presentation.

Using Apple's advanced Vision API, the system can read text with remarkable accuracy, even from challenging conditions like handwritten notes, angled photographs, or complex layouts. When the system detects that your image contains substantial text content, extraction becomes the more efficient choice, dramatically reducing processing costs while delivering the information AI needs to help you effectively.

Smart Document Processing

Document Processing Options

When you add a document to your conversation, you have two main options for how it gets processed. You can send the file exactly as it is to the AI model, which preserves the original formatting and visual layout. This works great when the AI needs to see exactly how the document looks or when working with models that can handle specific file types directly.

Alternatively, you can have the app convert the document to text first using its built-in reader system. This approach extracts the content while preserving the structure through headings, lists, and tables, but focuses on the meaning rather than the exact visual appearance. This conversion typically costs much less in terms of AI processing tokens while still giving the AI all the important information from your document.

Audio and Video Processing

Smart Video Processing Options

Videos can be processed in several ways depending on what you want to accomplish. If you need the AI to see what's actually happening in the video, you can send the video directly for visual analysis. The app will automatically suggest the best resolution to balance quality with processing costs, though you can adjust this if needed.

If you only care about what's being said in the video, you can have it converted to text instead. The app can use either Apple's built-in speech recognition for quick transcription, or the more accurate Whisper models for challenging audio or multiple languages. Converting to text uses far fewer resources than sending the full video, making it much more economical for longer content.
