3. AI-Powered Features & Transparency

3.1 AI Community Managers

Common Porch uses AI-powered, human-like avatars (“AI community managers”) to interact with users.

You acknowledge and agree that:

You agree to use your own judgment when relying on any information provided by the AI.

Certain features may optionally use your device’s camera.

If enabled:
