When you open the assistant from the bubble on a UNI page, two things travel with every message you send: the address of the page you are on, and the title of the browser tab. Nothing else about the page goes with it. That is the whole mechanism behind "when is the deadline" being answered about the competition in front of you.
Exactly what is sent
- The page address, without the site name. The path and the query string, so /competitions/some-competition or /projects/some-project, including anything after a question mark. The part of a link after a # is not sent.
- The browser tab title, as your browser shows it.
The address is cut at 500 characters and the title at 200. Both are captured fresh each time you press send, so if you move to another page mid-conversation, the new page goes with your next message and not the one before it.
The contents of the page are not sent
The assistant does not read the page. It cannot see the text, the images, the comments, or anything you have typed into a form on it. It is told where you are standing, not what is on the screen in front of you.
The address is looked up on UNI's side
For a competition, project, publication, journal or member profile, the server turns the address into facts from UNI's own records: deadlines, the organizer, whether entry is free, the prizes, the title. That is deliberate, so an answer about "this competition" comes from the record rather than from a guess. A private project resolves to nothing, so its title and description are never included. An address that is not one of these kinds of page is passed along as an address and nothing more.
The full assistant page does not send this at all
On uni.xyz/unify there is no host page to describe, so nothing is sent per message. A chat there uses the address it was opened from, recorded once when the chat started, and that does not follow you around.
If an address itself is sensitive, close the bubble first
Because the query string goes with it, anything carried in a link is included. Close the assistant on that page and reopen it somewhere neutral.
Your name, username and membership plan are also sent with every message. See what the assistant remembers.
