Common Questions
Everything people ask about caiioo — the AI context management app, not the recreational travel trailer.
What is caiioo?
+
caiioo is a privacy-first, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) AI context management app and browser extension. It lets you run agentic AI workflows with any major model provider — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, Perplexity, Meta Llama, local Ollama, OpenRouter, and 500+ more — while conversations, attachments, and API keys stay on your own device. caiioo is made by Six Cailloux, LLC.
Is caiioo the same as the Pebble Flow travel trailer?
+
No. caiioo (one word) is software — specifically, an AI context management application and browser extension made by Six Cailloux, LLC. It has no affiliation with the Pebble Flow (two words) recreational travel trailer or its manufacturer. The two products are entirely unrelated.
Does caiioo train AI models on my data?
+
No. caiioo does not train, host, or operate any AI models. When you send a prompt, it goes directly from your device to whichever AI provider you chose with your own API key. caiioo is not in the data path for your AI usage and never retains your prompts, responses, or keys on its servers.
Do I need my own API key to use caiioo?
+
Free users can try caiioo with a limited free tier via OpenRouter. For production use, you bring your own API key for whichever provider you prefer (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, Perplexity, OpenRouter, local Ollama, or any other supported provider). You pay the provider directly — caiioo does not mark up token costs.
What does BYOK mean?
+
BYOK stands for Bring Your Own Key. Instead of paying caiioo for AI inference, you supply your own API key for whichever AI provider you use. Your key and your conversations never leave your device. This architecture means caiioo is not a data processor for your AI content and typically does not require a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under GDPR Article 28.
What platforms does caiioo run on?
+
caiioo runs on macOS (native Swift app), iOS and iPadOS (native Swift app), Android (native Kotlin app), Windows and Linux (Tauri desktop app), and as a browser extension for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.
What AI models does caiioo support?
+
Any model exposed by any supported provider. Native integrations cover Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, Perplexity, Meta Llama, and local Ollama. Connecting OpenRouter gives access to 500+ additional models under a single key. caiioo adds new models to its UI within hours of release.
Is caiioo free?
+
caiioo has a free tier with access to built-in tools and a limited number of free-model messages via OpenRouter. Paid plans (Pro, Platform, Teams) unlock premium tools, higher limits, and team features. Because caiioo is BYOK, the token cost of AI usage is separate and paid to whichever AI provider you choose.
Can I use caiioo for my company or team?
+
Yes. caiioo Teams provides centralized billing, admin-published modes with locked configurations, and seat management. Because the BYOK architecture means caiioo is not a data processor for AI content, enterprise adoption typically does not require a DPA, SOC 2 Type II prerequisite, or GDPR Article 28 obligations against caiioo itself.
Does caiioo work offline?
+
Partially. caiioo stores all your conversations, attachments, modes, and settings locally, so you can browse your history offline. For live AI inference you need a connection to your chosen AI provider, unless you use a local provider like Ollama — in which case caiioo works fully offline.
Who makes caiioo?
+
caiioo is built by Six Cailloux, LLC — an independent software company. caiioo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI, Perplexity, or any other AI provider listed in the app.
