Darwin is designed to be a powerful AI assistant while keeping your data private, secure, and under your control.
Content generated by Darwin and its AI should always be reviewed before use. AI can make mistakes — verify facts, figures, and formatting before sharing or presenting.
Your documents, slides, and conversations are never used to train or fine-tune any AI models. Your intellectual property stays entirely yours.
All data you share with Darwin is processed solely to fulfil your request and sent back to you. Nothing is retained beyond what is needed for your active session.
Our infrastructure and processes meet SOC 2 Type II standards, ensuring rigorous controls over the security, availability, and confidentiality of your data.
We are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation, giving you full control over your personal data and how it is processed.
How does Darwin use AI?
Darwin combines third-party hosted large language models (LLMs) with proprietary processing to deliver AI-powered features including slide generation, proposal building, research, and search functionality. These capabilities are designed to accelerate workflows for consulting and investment banking professionals directly within PowerPoint.
Which LLMs does Darwin use?
Darwin uses a combination of third-party hosted LLMs to deliver the best outcomes for each feature. The specific models used may vary by feature and may change over time as we optimize for quality and performance. Our LLM providers do not retain your inputs or outputs, and do not use your data to train their models or improve their services.
Are AI-generated outputs always accurate?
No. The AI models used by Darwin are probabilistic in nature, meaning they generate responses by predicting the most likely output based on your inputs and the data they were trained on. As a result, outputs may sometimes be inaccurate, incomplete, or unreliable. We strongly encourage you to review all AI-generated content for accuracy and completeness before using it in deliverables or sharing it with others.
Should I rely on Darwin AI for final deliverables?
Darwin AI is designed to accelerate your workflow, not replace professional judgment. All AI-generated content — including slides, text, research summaries, and formatting suggestions — should be treated as a starting point that requires human review and validation. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy, appropriateness, and completeness of any output before including it in client-facing or internal deliverables.
How does Darwin uses my data?
Darwin processes your inputs — such as text prompts, uploaded files, and slide content — to generate the outputs you have requested. Your data is sent to our LLM providers solely for the purpose of processing your request and returning a response. Your inputs and outputs are not used to train or improve any LLM models or services.
Do Darwin's LLM providers store my data?
No. Our LLM providers do not store the data you submit or the responses you receive. Each request is sent individually over an SSL-encrypted connection, processed, and returned to Darwin. No customer data is retained by our LLM providers after processing.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your inputs and outputs are not used to fine-tune, train, or improve any LLM models or services, whether by Darwin or by our third-party LLM providers. Your data is used solely to serve your individual experience.
Is my data shared with other customers?
No. The data you submit and the responses you receive are used exclusively to serve your experience. They are not shared between customers or used to train models across customers.
Is any data transferred outside of my environment for AI processing?
Yes. When you use Darwin's AI-powered features, your data is transferred to third-party LLM providers to generate a response. Each request is sent individually over an SSL-encrypted connection. While the data is transferred externally for processing, it is not stored or retained by our LLM providers.
How is my data protected during AI processing?
Darwin follows industry-standard security practices for all data transmission. Each request to our LLM providers is sent individually over an SSL-encrypted connection. We maintain restrictive data processing agreements with all LLM providers to ensure your data is protected throughout the process.
Does Darwin process sensitive or confidential information?
Darwin processes whatever content you choose to input, including text, file content, and slide data. You are responsible for ensuring that the data you submit to Darwin complies with your organization's data handling policies, confidentiality obligations, and any applicable regulatory requirements.
Is Darwin compliant with GDPR?
Darwin is committed to processing and transmitting data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR. For specific compliance questions related to your organization's requirements, please contact our team.
What are the known limitations of Darwin AI features?
AI-generated outputs may contain factual errors, formatting inconsistencies, or content that does not fully align with your source material. Complex slide layouts, highly specialized terminology, and nuanced design requirements may not be perfectly replicated. Performance and generation times may vary depending on the complexity of your request and current system load.
Can I control which AI features are active?
Organization administrators can manage the activation of AI-powered features within the Darwin platform. For details on enabling or disabling specific capabilities, please contact your account administrator or reach out to our support team.
Does Darwin respect my organization's templates and brand guidelines?
Darwin is designed to work with your organization's PowerPoint templates and formatting standards. However, AI-generated content may require manual adjustments to fully comply with specific brand guidelines, template structures, or formatting requirements. Always review generated output against your organization's standards before finalizing.
Darwin's AI-powered features are provided as productivity tools to assist with content creation and workflow acceleration. All AI-generated outputs are probabilistic and may contain inaccuracies, errors, or omissions. Users are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving all AI-generated content before use. Darwin does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any AI-generated output.
