Your photos, in your AI
Claude and ChatGPT can use your visual memory.
Find what you need in Balise, or ask your assistant directly. It can use your photos and their details to compare, plan or organize a spreadsheet. If your AI needs an older photo, you approve the exact selected photos in Balise before they are sent. See how your AI can use Balise.
How it works
The answer keeps its source.
Choose which existing photos to include. Balise organizes coffee bags, dates and your notes so you can find them again. The photo shows the pack; bought, drank and liked marks come only from you.
Private from the first upload
Processing copies are encrypted on your iPhone before upload. Your originals stay in Apple Photos. Automated processing uses the copies, then ordinary copies are deleted.
Your assistant needs your approval for each exact photo request. Only that requesting connection can fetch the selection through Balise for one hour. How your photos are protected · Privacy details.
