Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions that come up most often before creating an account: real cost, data, compatibility and installation.

Cost and account

Happy Assistant offers a free plan with quotas, with no credit card required at sign-up, and a Plus plan for heavier use. Create an account with Google first, or with an 8-digit code sent by email: no password is required.

Data and privacy

Your data is siloed per account: no other user can read your calendar, tasks or suggestions.
Access to your email inboxes is encrypted and never exposed on the browser side.
Emails aren't archived in full: only technical identifiers and extracted elements are kept.
You can disconnect an email inbox at any time; analysis stops immediately.

Compatibility

Item	Compatibility
Email inboxes	Any IMAP inbox: Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Free, Orange, professional servers
Devices	iPhone, iPad, Android, computer (recent browser)
Installation	App installable from the browser, no store required
Languages	French, English, German, Spanish, Italian

Installation and notifications

The app installs directly from the browser: “Add to Home Screen” on iPhone, “Install app” on Android and on computer. Once installed, it shows a counter on its icon and receives reminder notifications, even when closed. On iPhone, notifications only work after installing to the home screen: that's a system constraint, not an app limitation.

Offline behavior

Data already loaded remains viewable without a connection. However, voice creation, email analysis and syncing require a connection, since interpretation happens server-side.

Frequently asked questions

Does Happy Assistant track sport too?

Yes. You log sessions (strength, running, cycling, swimming…) by voice or photo, with metrics specific to each sport, and follow your progress in the Health tab, next to the food journal.

Is Happy Assistant paid?

A free plan with quotas is available with no credit card required at sign-up. The Plus plan raises the quotas and can be managed from your profile.

Do I need to install the app from a store?

No. It installs from the browser, in one step, on iPhone, Android and computer.

Are my emails read by a human?

No. The analysis is automated and its results are only visible in your own account.

Can I delete my account and my data?

Yes, from your profile. Deletion removes your data, including connected email inboxes.

Does Happy Assistant replace ChatGPT?

No. ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini remain better for free writing, code or general knowledge. Happy Assistant turns your meals, workouts, appointments and personal information into structured data kept and analysed over time. See “Happy Assistant vs ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini”.

Which AI model does Happy Assistant use?

Happy Assistant is not an AI model. It relies on third-party models to understand and write, while keeping your structured data and its history inside the app.

Can Happy Assistant access my calendar?

Yes, the app's calendar: you create, move or delete appointments by voice or text and receive reminders.

Can Happy Assistant read my emails?

Only if you connect a mailbox (Gmail, Outlook or any IMAP account). It flags important messages and suggests tasks or events; you can disconnect at any time.

How does its memory work?

Useful information is stored by domain (family, partner, pets, work, interests, goals, food). Each memory can be viewed, edited and deleted. Inferred health facts wait for your confirmation.

Can it analyse a photo of a meal?

Yes: a photo or a description is enough to estimate calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre and sodium and fill your food diary.

Are the nutrition estimates accurate?

They are estimates: portions and hidden ingredients remain uncertain. Method (Mifflin-St Jeor, ANSES and EFSA references) and limits are explained on the meal analysis page. This is not medical advice.

Can it build a training plan?

Yes: from a goal (running, cycling, strength…), it suggests flexible weekly intentions adjusted to the sessions you actually do. It helps you organise; it is not a coach.

Is my data used to train an AI?

No. Happy Assistant does not use your data to train models and filters sensitive data (cards, IBANs, codes, passwords) before sending anything.
