FAQs
How do I access the Favorites and Summarize Features?
The sidepanel view of the extension is available by using the icon in the search popup of Locus, or using the "Show Sidepanel" option in chrome. This option is available if you have validated your email on your Locus account.
How does OpenAI / ChatGPT integration work?
Locus's use of OpenAI is strictly limited — as such we require you use your own API key. You can create an OpenAI Account, add a small credit (5 USD minimum), and generate your own API Key. Your OpenAI key does not leave the browser, and you can also set your own limit in your OpenAI account dashboard if needed.
How does Locus protect my data?
Locus does not store any personal information. We use services like Memberstack for your account information. Document data in our platform expires and is deleted after a determined amount of time depending on your plan, with the exception of matches marked as favorites. Your data is only used as part of the searches you make using Locus. Locus does not train any models with your data.
