An agentic AI model doesn't just reply — it works out how to answer. Ask it something and it decides on its own whether to respond straight away, search the web, do deeper research, or create an image, then it does those steps and hands you the result. Secret Chat offers this as Smart Agentic mode for GPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok — and runs the whole thing privately. You get the convenience of an assistant that just handles it, without giving up your anonymity. For the simpler, you-choose-the-tool version, see private search; for the wider product, see our private AI chat page.
What "agentic" means for you
Normally you have to decide how to use an AI: should I ask it to search? Switch to a reasoning mode? Open an image tool? Agentic mode removes that guesswork. You write your message in plain language, and the AI picks the right approach for you — a fast answer for something simple, a web search when it needs current facts, deeper research for a hard question, or an image when that's what you asked for. It feels less like operating a tool and more like handing a task to a capable assistant.
What the experience feels like
- One button, no menus. Leave it on Smart Agentic and just talk. The AI chooses whether to search, think harder, or draw — you don't have to know in advance.
- It shows its work. While it's working you can see what it's doing — "searching the web", "creating an image" — so it never feels like a black box.
- The right depth automatically. Quick questions get quick answers; complex ones get the slower, more thorough treatment, without you flipping settings.
- Still yours to override. Prefer to drive? You can always pick a specific tool yourself — fast chat, web search, research, or image — whenever you want manual control.
Agentic doesn't mean exposed
A model that takes several steps could, in the wrong setup, mean several chances to leak who you are. Secret Chat is built so that every step the AI takes — the quick decision, the web search, the image — gets the same privacy as a single message:
- Your identity stays hidden. Secret Chat makes the requests on your behalf, so the AI providers see Secret Chat, not your name, email, or IP — at every step.
- Everything stays in your browser. The whole conversation, including the in-between results the AI produces along the way, lives on your device, not on our servers. Learn how this works in our guide to local browser storage for AI chats.
- Email-only sign-up. No real name, no phone number, no profile-building — the email is used only for account access and payment, never to associate your chats with you.
- A privacy report that covers every step. The per-session report is transparent about the multi-step nature: it lists the decision, the answer, and any image as separate actions, each with confirmation of how it was handled and, where supported, that a deletion request was sent.
Who it's for
People who want results, not controls. If you'd rather describe what you need and let the AI sort out the best way to get there — but you're not willing to trade away your privacy to do it — agentic mode is the easiest way to work. It's especially handy for mixed tasks: a question that turns into a search that turns into a summary, all in one flow.
The honest limit
Smart Agentic decides how to handle your request, but it still has to send your words to the AI to do the work. As with any AI, don't paste personal or confidential data you wouldn't want leaving your device, and a quick check before you send is always wise.
One agentic assistant, many models
Smart Agentic gives you GPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok behind a single mode that decides when to talk, search, research, or draw — all under the same email-only account and the same local storage. When you'd rather steer the tools yourself, private search and the manual research and image tools are one tap away.
