# QT — Private by Default Collaboration VISIT: https://qt-ai.netlify.app
QT is a **local-first, peer-to-peer collaboration app** designed for **sensitive conversations** that teams don’t want stored on servers.
No message history.
No central database.
No silent data collection.
Just secure, temporary discussion rooms that exist only while participants are connected.
---
## Why QT Exists
Most teams rely on tools like Slack, email, or cloud docs for internal communication.
While convenient, these tools:
- Store messages indefinitely
- Keep searchable logs
- Centralize sensitive discussions
- Create long-term data risk
For everyday work, this is acceptable.
For **confidential decisions**, it is not.
QT exists for moments when teams think:
> “This conversation should not live anywhere.”

## What QT Is
QT is a **serverless discussion room** where participants connect directly to each other using encrypted peer-to-peer connections.
It enables:
- Real-time chat
- File sharing
- Collaborative discussions
Without:
- Message storage
- Server-side logs
- Persistent chat history
Once users leave the room, the session effectively disappears.
---
## How It Works
1. A user creates a room
2. A unique Peer ID or link is shared
3. Participants connect directly using WebRTC
4. Messages and files flow only between peers
5. When users disconnect, the room ends
QT does **not** store:
- Messages
- Files
- Metadata
- Conversation history
There is nothing to archive — and nothing to leak.

## Architecture Overview
- **Local-first**: All messages are handled in the browser
- **Peer-to-peer**: Direct device-to-device communication
- **Encrypted**: Data is encrypted during transit
- **No central storage**: No chat database, no logs
QT cannot read or recover conversations — because it never has them.
---
## AI Usage (Optional & Explicit)
QT includes optional AI assistance that is:
- Explicitly invoked by the user (e.g. `@QT`)
- Never running in the background
- Never silently analyzing conversations
Users remain in full control of when and how AI is used.
---
## What QT Is Not
QT is intentionally **not**:
- A Slack replacement
- A long-term knowledge base
- A searchable chat archive
- A monitoring or analytics tool
QT is built for:
> **Temporary, high-trust conversations**
---
## Who QT Is For
- Founders & leadership teams discussing sensitive decisions
- Agencies handling confidential client data
- Legal & compliance teams
