What Einar is

Einar keeps track of who knows what at work. You say what you know, are learning and are passionate about, and Einar helps you and your colleagues find the right person to ask. You use him at einar.ai, in Claude, in ChatGPT and in Slack.

Einar is for workplaces. Your network is where you work, and belongs to your workplace’s email domain. Your contacts are people you have worked with or know personally.

Einar is provided by Hafsaas Foundry (Andreas Hafsaas) in Norway. The service is free.

Who can use Einar

• You must be 18 or older.
• You sign in with your own email address, and only your own. One account per person.
• You are responsible for what happens with your account. Do not share sign-in links with others.

What you add is yours

You own what you write about yourself and your notes. You allow us to store them and show them as the service describes: your profile to your network, and your notes only to you. We use them for nothing else, do not sell them and train no AI models on them. How we handle personal data is in the privacy policy.

What you write about yourself should be true, so your colleagues can rely on it.

What is fine, and what is not allowed

This is fine

• Writing on your profile what you know, are learning, are interested in and are passionate about, spare-time things included.
• Noting what colleagues know and have done, in your private notes, to remember who to ask.
• Asking colleagues something, and answering when someone asks you.
• Inviting people you work with, have worked with or know personally.
• Starting the network for your workplace if nobody has, with an address at your workplace’s domain.

This is not allowed

• Writing about others on your profile, or pretending to be someone else.
• Signing in with an address that is not yours, or starting a network for a workplace you do not work at.
• Putting sensitive information about others in your notes: health, religion, political views, trade union membership, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or criminal matters. Keep notes about work, and write nothing you would not be comfortable with the person reading. The person you wrote about can ask to see it.
• Harassing, threatening or spamming anyone, including through questions and invitations.
• Inviting strangers in large numbers, or using Einar to collect contact details.
• Extracting, copying or storing other people’s profiles in bulk, with scripts, bots or otherwise.
• Using other people’s profiles for sales, marketing or recruiting they did not ask for.
• Trying to get around the access rules, attacking the service or loading it abnormally.
• Adding anything illegal, or anything that infringes other people’s rights.

Networks belong to the organisation

A network belongs to an organisation and its email domain. Whoever starts it becomes its admin and can change its name and logo. Being admin is a responsibility on the organisation’s behalf, not ownership. If the organisation asks, or the admin no longer works there, we can move the role to someone else in the organisation.

You only become visible to your colleagues once you have said yes yourself, and you can leave at any time.

AI, and what Einar knows

Einar’s answers are based on what people have written about themselves and what you have noted. It may be wrong or out of date, so check what matters with the person.

In Claude, ChatGPT and Slack an AI assistant words the answers. Those services have their own terms, which apply alongside these.

When something goes wrong

Einar is free and provided as it is. We do our best to keep the service working and the data safe, but cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. We are not liable for indirect loss, such as lost time or profit, as far as Norwegian law allows. Nothing here limits the rights you have under the law.

If someone breaks these terms, we may remove content or close the account, and we say why when we can. If you disagree, you can reply to us.

Leaving, and changes

You can delete your account at any time, under settings or by asking Einar. What is deleted is in the privacy policy.

If we change these terms in a way that matters to you, we tell you at einar.ai or by email before the changes apply. If we close Einar, we tell you well in advance, so you can take your data with you.

Law and contact

Norwegian law applies. If we disagree, we first try to solve it together. Otherwise the case goes to the Norwegian courts, with Oslo District Court as the venue, as far as the law allows.
