If I share something with a HBSAI AI clone, will anyone else see it?
HBSAI does not make your submissions to HBSAI AI clones public or distribute them broadly, though we do need to share those submissions with our service providers and technology partners in order to provide HBSAI's services. Other HBSAI users can't see your chats with our clones, and HBSAI AIs won't share material you've submitted with anyone else using the platform.
Can other HBSAI users see anything else I submit to the platform?
Your posts in HBSAI community forums will be visible to other community members.
Does Harvard or HBSAI own the ideas I share with an AI clone?
Your ideas are yours. We don't claim ownership of what you share with us or monetize your content.
Are my conversations with HBSAI AI clones used to train AI models?
HBSAI does not use your conversations with HBSAI's AI clones to train AI models, and our agreements with other service providers restrict them from using your conversations for training.
Is there any information I should not share with HBSAI AI clones?
Please do not share highly sensitive information, including information which you have committed to keep confidential, or which may be subject to a legal privilege, personal in nature, or related to an invention you intend to patent. Always use care and discretion when choosing what information to submit.
Are these clones based on real HBS professors?
Our Advisory Board clones are inspired by the teaching style or areas of expertise of real professors, but they're not intended to be exact replicas.
How are HBSAI AI clones different from regular AI tools?
These AI clones are purpose-built for founders. They're tailored to help with startup questions using HBS-inspired tools and guidance. They're not general-purpose — they're here to help you build smarter.
