Duck.ai Adds Encrypted Chat Sharing Links That Even DuckDuckGo Can't Read

At a glance

DuckDuckGo's AI chat service Duck.ai now lets users share a chat through a link. People who get the link can read the chat, pick it up where it left off, or save it, with no account needed. Shared chats are encrypted and the only key is in the link itself, so even DuckDuckGo cannot read them.

Key points

1. 1

   Users can tap the share icon under a reply to share only that reply or the whole chat up to that point.

2. 2

   By default a link stops working after 48 hours, and users can set it to 1, 2, 7 or 30 days or delete it whenever they like.

3. 3

   Chats are encrypted on the device first, and the key sits after the # in the link, a part browsers usually do not send to servers.

4. 4

   Shared pages are set to stay out of search engines, and AI-generated images are included but uploaded files are not.

Why it matters

People can pass along work they did with AI without exposing the chat to the company or to search results, so they can collaborate while keeping their privacy.
