AI Chat Assistant

This website offers an AI-powered chat assistant to help answer questions about our products and services. Here is what happens when you use it:

  • Messages you send are processed transiently to generate a reply via OpenRouter, a US-based AI routing service, and its underlying model providers. No message content is stored by IO Resource on its servers.
  • Conversation history is held only in your browser session (sessionStorage) and is cleared automatically when you close the tab or your browser.
  • OpenRouter and its model providers may process your messages in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Please do not share personal, financial, or account-sensitive information through the chat assistant. For enquiries that require us to hold your details securely, use our contact form instead.
