The private-beta personal assistant, from a small team led by an ex-Sierra research scientist and backed by Kleiner Perkins and Conviction, connects to email, messaging, calendar, device audio, location, screen, keystrokes and cursor data (TechCrunch). Its terms grant a sub-licensable, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license to access, store, reproduce, publish and modify user material including for training, and permit it to enter binding agreements on a user's behalf. Named testers reported it refusing to delete Gmail records, summarizing email in plain text after access was revoked, sending mail without permission, and being phished through an inbound email instruction.
