Is Narad.ai safe?
Narad.ai streams raw microphone audio to its cloud backend for wake-word detection instead of listening locally.
When the microphone toggle is turned on, Narad.ai captures continuous microphone audio, converts it to 16-bit PCM, and streams every chunk over a WebSocket to the vendor's backend, which performs keyword detection server-side and reports back when a name is detected. There is no local wake-word filtering before transmission, no buffering gate, and no authentication token on the socket connection, so raw audio leaves the device for the full duration of listening.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Narad.ai contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
