4. Morning Crew Automated Messages

When no real user is available to match with you at your alarm time, Alarm Mate may pair you with a Morning Crew member. Morning Crew is a set of pre-defined characters with automated messages selected based on the context of your chat. Morning Crew members are not real people and are clearly distinguished by a subtle visual marker on their profile.

Your messages sent during a Morning Crew chat are stored in our database in the same way as messages to real users, and are subject to the same privacy and retention policies described here. These messages are not transmitted to any third-party AI service.

If you directly ask a Morning Crew member whether they are a real person, they will always answer honestly. You can also identify Morning Crew members by the subtle sparkle pattern around their profile avatar.
