FAQ

Short answers to the questions people ask first.

On this page

Does it ever send messages for me?

No. A message goes out only when you press Send in Corner. An AI draft fills the box and waits for you to edit it and send it yourself.

Can I try it before connecting anything?

Yes. Pick Try it with demo data on the first screen. Made-up deals, a card in the corner, no accounts, no key, and it's wiped when you exit. More on the demo.

Is it safe for my Telegram account?

Corner signs in with Telegram's own login, as a linked device you can see and remove under Settings > Devices on your phone. It syncs at a pace Telegram accepts, waits whenever Telegram asks it to, and never automates anything: it only reads, and sends when you press Send.

Where are my chats stored?

On your computer, in an encrypted database. There are no Corner servers. Privacy and data has the details.

What does the AI see?

To find your deals, the last 30 messages of each synced chat go to Anthropic once, with your key. After that, only the chats you track. Excluded chats are never sent. Exactly what leaves.

Do I need my own AI key?

In the beta, yes: an Anthropic API key, and you pay Anthropic for what you use. A daily budget in Settings keeps it in check. Without a key, Corner still nudges on timing alone. A hosted option, so you won't need a key, is planned.

It nags too much. Now what?

Switch to Gentle, add quiet hours, lower the daily cap, or give slow deals longer wait times in Settings > Nudges. A chat that isn't a deal: press Not a deal and it's never nudged again. Tuning nudges.

It missed a deal.

Check Suggested first: deals the AI was less sure about wait there. If it isn't there, track it yourself: under Settings > Privacy, click Open next to the chat, then Track as deal. Chats quiet for more than 90 days before you connected, groups of more than 25 people and excluded chats aren't read at all, and without an AI key nothing is found for you.

Which channels does it support?

Telegram today. WhatsApp (read-only) and email are coming, and so is one deal per person across them.

Which computers does it run on?

Macs with Apple silicon and 64-bit Windows. There's no phone app: Corner lives on the computer you work at.

Does it work when it's closed?

Closing the window keeps Corner running in the tray, and that's how it nudges you. If you quit it, or your computer sleeps, it catches up on Telegram when it's back and shows what's due.

How do I update?

For now, install the new build over the old one, the same way you installed it. Your data stays. On a Mac, expect the Keychain prompt once. Automatic updates come with signed builds.

How do I uninstall it?

Mac: quit Corner and drag it from Applications to the Bin. Windows: Settings > Apps. Uninstalling leaves your data in place, so use Settings > Privacy > Delete all data first if you want it gone.

Can my team use it?

Corner is built for one person's pipeline for now. A view for sales managers is planned for after the beta.

What does it cost?

Prices aren't final. The plans we want to test are on the home page. During the beta you also pay Anthropic directly for the AI you use.

How do I get in?

Corner is in private beta. Ask Elmir or C for an invite.
