What the developer says
About Art Assets DesktopDaily does not use AI-generated artwork for its in-game art assets. Character designs, 3D models, textures, animations, UI assets, and other visual content are created by human artists or based on properly licensed materials. About Character Voices and Speech Synthesis DesktopDaily’s character voice models are trained or fine-tuned using voice materials with clear provenance and authorization, and are used for character speech synthesis at runtime. These voice materials come from publicly available or authorized audio materials provided by the corresponding character or voice provider, and are used in accordance with their usage terms and authorized scope. The character voices played at runtime are synthesized speech and are not original voice recordings. About the Use of Generative AI During development, AI assistance was used for parts of the code implementation and for some non-Chinese UI text localization. At runtime, generative AI is used only in optional features, including the character conversation feature, the visual companion feature, and notification assistant tools. Some non-Chinese UI text localization uses AI-assisted translation and editing. This is limited to UI text localization and is separate from the runtime generation of character dialogue. In the optional character conversation feature, AI is used to generate character dialogue text and to synthesize speech based on that text. When this feature is enabled, player input may be sent to cloud AI services in order to generate character-style response text. These responses may also be used for speech synthesis and played back in the game. If the player chooses not to use an API, the character conversation feature will not be enabled, and only the basic features will be available. In the optional visual companion feature, after the player actively enables the feature, the game may use a local vision-language model to analyze screen, window, or application content within the scope authorized by the player. The analysis results may be used as context for character dialogue, allowing the character to respond based on the player’s current computer usage scenario. This feature is disabled by default. If the analysis results are used in cloud-based character dialogue, necessary summary information may be sent as part of the dialogue context to the cloud AI service selected or configured by the player. In the optional notification assistant tools, after the player actively enables the feature and grants permission, the game may read Windows system notifications, email summaries, or other information sources specified by the player. A local AI model may be used to filter, categorize, or judge the importance of this information in order to decide whether to notify the player. This feature is intended to assist with notification management, and will not reply to emails, send messages, or perform external actions on behalf of the player. AI-based classification and notification results may be inaccurate. The official trial API provided by the game uses Alibaba Cloud Model Studio. Players may also configure other APIs themselves. When features that require cloud AI are enabled, the necessary conversation content or contextual information is sent directly to the corresponding cloud AI service and is not relayed through the developer’s own server. Character dialogue generated by AI at runtime is intended only for everyday companion-style interaction. The game uses prompts, content rules, and safety measures to reduce the output of inappropriate, illegal, hateful, sexual, violent, or copyright-infringing content. AI-generated responses may vary and do not represent official statements by DesktopDaily, the game’s developer, any character rights holder, voice provider, or third-party asset creator.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-driven · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states runtime generative AI drives the optional character conversation, visual companion, and notification features, which is core to the product. Art, models, and UI are declared human-made or licensed, and code/localization AI is supporting. Only one unreleased game from the developer, so no volume-release signal. Against: In-game art assets are declared human-created, and AI features are optional and off by default, which limits how much AI content most players encounter. |
