Questions
Before you sign in.
Who can join?
VI1 Chat is invite only and in beta. If you have an account, use Sign in. There is no public directory of rooms.
What is encrypted?
Rooms, messages, and media are encrypted on the device. Local data also sits in an encrypted vault.
What can VI1 do in a thread?
Summarise the thread, suggest a reply, translate, or talk by voice. Those actions need a signed-in session. VI1’s own models do the language work.
Are there voice and video calls?
Yes. One-to-one voice and video, with ringback and speaker controls.
What are the PIN, duress option, and panic wipe?
The app PIN locks the local vault. A duress option sits beside that PIN. Panic wipe clears the local vault on the device.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, as Android and iPhone web apps, with push notifications.
How does this relate to VI1 Call?
Same account. VI1 Call is the business line, and it is still in development. Read the VI1 Call page.
Invite only
The room is already private.
