They check some things, in their cloud. The Machine: all of it.

Dots, Muse, Grok Bot, Claude Duet and Gemini Spark run in their makers’ clouds and look at a slice of your data: what they look up, or what they check now and then. The Machine reads every new message, on your own server in the EU or your own computer. OpenClaw runs on your hardware, and The Machine builds on it. Already have Claude or ChatGPT hooked up to everything? See what The Machine adds to Claude or ChatGPT.

Coverage depends on the sources you connect, their collection limits and your noise filters. Collected signals stay queued for review; large backlogs can take more than one review.
