Data vendors
Last updated 2026-10-24 · Private beta — current product behavior; this notice may change as testing evolves.
These are the vendors currently configured for this private beta. A vendor only receives the data described below when the related feature is actually used.
Current vendors
| Vendor | Role | Data it can see | Region | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Hosting, serverless functions, cookieless aggregate product analytics | All request traffic (platform logs: IP, user agent, path); aggregated page views and allowlisted lifecycle event names with low-cardinality stage/provider/checkpoint labels — never submitted URLs, content, email, account ids, or outcome values | US | Always |
| Supabase | Accounts (auth) and database | Email / OAuth identity, saved projects, workspace experiments & outcomes, usage entitlements, explicit Agent research tasks, daily research authorizations and reservations | Operator-chosen project region | Only when accounts are configured and you sign in |
| OpenAI | AI model (GPT) | Your product page text, profile, plan context, Copilot input, and trial instructions (plus optional submitted demand excerpts) during explicit product-trial research | US | Only if configured, and when selected as primary or used as a clear-policy fallback |
| DeepSeek | AI model | Your product page text, profile, plan context, Copilot input, and trial instructions (plus optional submitted demand excerpts) during explicit product-trial research | China | When selected as primary, or as the explicitly enabled beta fallback after another provider fails |
| Tavily | Web search for community discovery and explicitly authorized daily research | Ordinary discovery uses queries derived from your product profile (never raw page text). Daily research sends only the public search queries and domain filters you explicitly approve; not your account identity or full product profile | US | Only if configured |
| Optional OAuth sign-in | OAuth handshake only | US | Only if you choose “Continue with Google” | |
| Upstash | Anonymous preview abuse limits | A keyed digest of a random visitor token and aggregate request counts — never the submitted URL, page text, IP, user agent, or draft | Operator-chosen database region | Only when the signed-out one-channel preview is enabled |
You choose a primary AI provider. If the primary model is unavailable, PostBeacon may retry with another configured provider. During this beta that can include DeepSeek, which processes data in China and does not clearly exclude training use; avoid confidential material. A failed provider may already have received the first attempt.
