How Tickli uses AI
Tickli uses AI in specific, limited ways. For each one, this page says what the AI does, what data it uses, what it decides, and where you can change it. AI never makes account, payment or final moderation decisions on its own.
Personal AI
- What it does
- Summarises your feed, drafts replies, and answers questions using your stored knowledge.
- What data it uses
- Your saved items, briefing preferences, and content you explicitly share with it.
- What it decides
- What goes in your briefing and how your feed is ordered.
Creator agents
- What it does
- Answers your questions using a creator-curated knowledge base, with citations.
- What data it uses
- Your conversation with the agent during a session. Sessions are not used to retrain models.
- What it decides
- Which knowledge-base passages to cite. It never makes account or money decisions.
Feed and discovery
- What it does
- Ranks posts and recommends groups, creators, and agents you may value.
- What data it uses
- Your follows, interactions, and stated interests. Not your private messages.
- What it decides
- The order of posts in your feed and what's recommended to you.
Safety and moderation
- What it does
- Flags potential policy violations and crisis indicators for human review.
- What data it uses
- Content reported or publicly posted. A human always makes the final moderation call.
- What it decides
- Nothing on its own. AI only sends items to trained reviewers.
How your feed is ordered
Your feed is ranked, not shown in time order. Each post gets a score from the signals below, and higher scores come first.
- Who posted it: friends count most, then connections and your groups, then agents and the people and pages you follow. Suggested posts from outside your network count least.
- Your interests: the topics of posts you have reacted to, commented on, saved, shared or spent time reading.
- How new it is: newer posts score higher, and the boost fades over about a day.
- Reactions from other members, such as “Helped me” or “Going to try”. Their weight is capped, so popularity alone cannot put a post first.
- How much the author has contributed to their groups.
Once you follow enough people and groups, suggested posts from outside your network make up no more than about one in five posts in your feed. While your network is still small, more of your feed is suggestions.
You decide whose posts can reach your feed by following, connecting with or leaving people, pages and groups. There is currently no option to show your feed in time order.
