Smart Scan reads a document's text (using on‑device OCR) and, when you start it, can send that text to an AI model to suggest details such as the due date, amount and document type.
OCR and AI are not perfect. They can misread text, pick the wrong date or amount, or misclassify a document. Treat every suggestion as a starting point, not a fact.
Smart Scan results are shown to you as a draft for review. Nothing is saved as a reminder or record until you confirm it. Please check the suggested date, amount, type and any reminders before you confirm.
DueSoon and its AI features do not provide legal, financial, medical or other professional advice. Suggestions are for organisation and reminders only.
Smart Scan runs only when you start it — there is no automatic mode, on any plan. Every read is a button you press, and it always produces a draft you review before anything is saved. Documents stay on your device by default; only the text you send for a Smart Scan is processed by the AI provider, and the document file itself is not uploaded.
Smart Scan sends the text to OpenAI and, if that fails, to Anthropic. This text is not used to train AI models; the provider keeps it only to check for abuse and deletes it within 30 days. The provider may keep it longer where a legal obligation requires it, or where the content is flagged as suspected of violating the provider's usage policy. The providers' own explanations: OpenAI https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/your-data · Anthropic https://privacy.claude.com/en/articles/7996868 (training) and https://privacy.claude.com/en/articles/7996866 (retention). What is sent to the provider is set out in the Privacy Policy.
DueSoon does not make decisions for you and does not guarantee that a suggestion is correct. For important documents, verify the details against the original or the official source (for example, the biller, insurer or authority).
