 "title": "Review AIKON privacy and API spending before going live",
 "page_title": "How to review AIKON privacy and API spending before going live with AIKON",
 "summary": "Check data retention, limits and billing controls before you point real API keys at your phone server.",
 "who": "A non-developer owner of a new AIKON server who is about to add paid API keys and wants to avoid surprise charges.",
 "problem": "Each message is a paid API call, and chats, photos and voice messages are stored on your server, so the costs and retention need checking first.",
 "outcome": "You know which limits the server enforces, where the data lives and how long it stays, and you have set a spending limit at each provider.",
 "steps": [
  "Read the Privacy and cost section of the README, focusing on the 30-day chat retention and the note that logs contain no message text.",
  "Confirm the per-device daily request, output-token and web-search limits the server enforces before you add keys.",
  "Set a spending limit in each provider's console for every key you add with `server/deploy/set-key.sh root@<server-ip>`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Decide whether to turn on voice messages, which go to OpenAI's speech-to-text and are billed to your OpenAI key.",
  "Revoke the device or run Settings > Reset setup on the phone if the memory card leaves your hands."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Read the Privacy and cost section of the AIKON README and list every place data is stored, for how long, and every cost that is billed to my API keys. Expected output is a short checklist with one line per item, with the spending-limit step marked as a manual action. Verify that you did not invent any limit numbers that the README does not state.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says web searches are billed per search and their results count as input tokens, so check the provider's pricing before you rely on search for news or weather.",

 "lang": "java",
 "requirements": [
  "A Nokia S40 or S60 phone (tested on the Nokia 6300 and Nokia E63)",
  "A Docker host with a public IPv4 address and TCP 443 open (a $4-6/month VPS is enough)",
  "An API key from at least one provider: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or Grok",
  "Docker, OpenSSL or LibreSSL, and SSH access to the server",
  "For building the phone app: JDK 11+ and make",
  "For building the server: Go 1.26+"
