Questions, answered plainly

No. Assist With Animals gives no veterinary or animal-care advice. It keeps your records: what you observed and measured, what a vet or other person told you (attributed to them), what your AI interpreted (marked as your AI’s), and what you decided. Those stay separate, so nothing hardens into a diagnosis nobody made.

Your AI can help you think things through and prepare questions, and it can put together a vet-visit packet from your records for you to review and take along. For anything urgent, contact a vet.

Any AI app that can add a remote MCP connector with sign-in. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://www.assistwithanimals.com/mcp. ChatGPT and other apps that support remote MCP connectors work the same way, where your plan allows custom connectors. You sign in with your own Assist With Animals account and approve the connection; that completes setup.

If your AI app cannot add connectors, you can still copy an idea or the starter message into it and keep your records here yourself. Connection details.

Your AI connects at /mcp as you, with your own sign-in, so it sees only your records. Once you approve, it can read your records, photos and Library, and save observations, encounters, research, documents, lists and corrections to its own work. It can add and answer Queue items and file Suggestions. Everything it saves is labelled as your AI’s.

Your AI proposes and you decide. It cannot confirm an identification, accept a “same animal” link, record a diagnosis or mark a decision as yours. It cannot change its own access, share anything, export your data or permanently delete anything. You can narrow or disconnect the connection in Settings.

Each record carries its own location precision: exact, generalised to a named area, delayed until you release it, or omitted. That choice is applied every time the record is disclosed: in what your AI reads, in a document, and in an export.

Photos: the original you upload is kept private and byte-exact, GPS included, so you never lose it. Every copy made for display or for your AI has its metadata removed, and the record’s precision decides what location goes with it.

Not with a link yet: sharing links are not built. What works today is a Document. Ask your AI to make a handover or a vet-visit packet from the animal’s records, review it, then copy it and hand it over however you like. Your records stay private.

Nothing during the soft launch. If that ever changes, it will be announced on Updates before it affects you. Your AI app’s own plan is separate and set by its maker.

Signed in, go to Settings → Your data. You can download an export of your records there, or delete your workspace. Your AI cannot do either for you.
