Your assistant, your permissions
Mano is an AI assistant with the capabilities you enable. These are the protections and controls available today.
Your own space
Each user has a separate, isolated space for their assistant and data.
You confirm messages
“Reply for you” is off by default and has a daily limit. Your assistant cannot send messages to other people on its own: the portal requires your confirmation, using a 4-digit code typed from your phone or by saying “confirm” and the specified two-digit number aloud.
Accounts you choose
You connect your Google accounts and choose permissions for each: read-only email and viewing or creating calendar events. You can disconnect them. Long-lived access credentials are stored encrypted in the portal; your assistant cannot see them. We do not store your Google password.
Phone control with permission
You enable control and choose which apps are allowed. Apps identified as banking, payment or password manager apps are blocked, as are fields identified as passwords. Calls and buttons that phone control identifies as important require voice confirmation. You can stop control from your phone.
Content does not grant permission
Your assistant is instructed to treat websites, emails and messages as information, never as orders or permission to act. Sending messages and protected actions also require confirmation checks.
Memory you control
Mano can remember preferences and useful facts you share. In your dashboard, you can view memories, forget one or delete all saved memory. Deleting memories does not delete your chats or immediately remove backup copies.
Activity log
Your dashboard shows what Mano did for you: messages sent, calls, apps opened, searches, events and reminders. It's shown only in your dashboard, you can delete it anytime, and it's deleted automatically after 90 days. The text of your messages, searches, reminders and web pages is never stored.
Your sessions
You can sign out on all your devices from your dashboard.
Backups and reviews
We keep data backups and conduct internal security reviews. No protection eliminates every risk: check the recipient and content before confirming an action.
Frequently asked questions
Does Mano read my chats?
It only accesses chats in your linked account, with the permission you give when linking it, to help you. “Reply for you” does not message others without your code from your phone or your voice confirmation.
Can it spend my money?
Mano does not offer a payment feature. Do not use phone control to make payments or share passwords, card details or banking codes with it.
What does it remember, and how do I delete it?
It can save preferences, routines and useful facts you share. Your dashboard lets you view them, forget a memory or delete all saved memory.
How do I spot a fake Mano?
Use only mano.work and your chat with yourself. Mano will never ask you to give passwords or codes to a third party or through a link you receive. To confirm a message, type the code only in your chat with yourself.
How do I report a security issue?
If a security contact appears below, use it to report the issue. If none is configured, open your dashboard and use your usual support channel. Describe the problem without including passwords, codes or private messages.
