AI Ally is an intelligent support and accountability feature built into Canopy.

It is designed to help users make thoughtful decisions when requesting changes to their protection settings by providing guidance, context, and an extra layer of protection before sensitive actions are approved.

Unlike traditional filtering tools that simply allow or block actions, AI Ally can have a conversation with you and help evaluate whether a requested change aligns with your goals and protection preferences.

What Does AI Ally Do?

AI Ally can assist with requests related to protection and content filtering, including situations such as:

• Changing content filtering levels

• Accessing blocked content

• Modifying protection settings

• Making other protection-related requests

When a protected action requires review, AI Ally will guide you through a conversation before a decision is made.

How AI Ally Works

When you request a protected change:

1. AI Ally opens a conversation.

2. You explain what you would like to change.

3. AI Ally reviews the request in context.

4. AI Ally may ask follow-up questions to better understand the situation.

5. Based on the conversation and your protection goals, AI Ally determines whether the request should be approved.

This process helps add thoughtful consideration before important protection changes are made.

Personalized Guidance

AI Ally is designed to provide more than a simple approve-or-deny experience.

Over time, it can use information you've previously shared to better understand:

• Your goals

• Your protection preferences

• Previous requests and decisions

This allows AI Ally to provide more personalized guidance and support when future requests are made.

Unlike traditional accountability systems that depend on another person being available, AI Ally is available whenever you need assistance.

Whether you're making a request during the day, in the evening, or on the weekend, AI Ally is ready to help review and discuss protection-related changes.
