On-device AI changes how people behave with sensitive data. I noticed this while building a therapy prep voice agent

Generative AI
Something worth discussing in the context of where AI is heading. I built a voice agent for therapy prep. It runs a conversation before your session, surfaces what’s on your mind, generates a brief. The entire stack runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. No cloud inference, no data leaving the phone. What I didn’t expect: people interact differently when they know inference is local. The same person who’d hesitate to type their pre-therapy thoughts into a cloud app will speak freely when they know nothing is transiting a server. It’s not just a privacy preference.
