At a glance

#
  • Always: your AI provider.
  • While installing and updating: GitHub, nodejs.org, Nous Research, PyPI, npm, Docker Hub, the sources of system programs, godspeedmissioncontrol.com and blsdb.de.
  • On a server: your hosting company and Let's Encrypt. The one-line server also uses Telegram, sslip.io and ipify.org; a server without Docker, Cloudflare and Google.
  • Only when you use a feature: web search, search by meaning, Open Food Facts, Gmail, AgentMail, Google Drive, kie.ai, Figma, and voice and media services. Spoken answers in Telegram use a voice service too.
  • Only with an add-on: a dating site for the Wingman.
  • Only if you say yes: the observed state line.

Your AI provider

#
  • When: every time your assistant answers you, and every time a routine runs.
  • What goes there: your messages, and what your assistant reads in your mission control folder to answer.
  • Needed: yes. Godspeed has no AI of its own; you pay the provider under your own account. With an API key, routines cost money even when you are not chatting.
  • Set up: First setup: connect your AI
#
  • When: when you ask your assistant to look something up, every night in the research on your goals, and for your watches.
  • What goes there: your search words, to the search service that Hermes, the program running your assistant, uses. Then ordinary visits to public pages.
  • Needed: no. Without goals or watches, nothing is read on a schedule. The nightly research's instructions forbid contacting anyone, posting, signing up, buying or booking.

Search by meaning

#
  • When: only after you connect it in Settings, under Search by meaning.
  • What goes there: the notebook says "Your notes are sent to that service to be turned into numbers; nothing else is."
  • Needed: no. Search finds every word without it.
  • To avoid it: choose Ollama on this computer, a free program you install yourself, which keeps the text on your machine. Or click Disconnect.

Telegram

#
  • When: on the one-line server, for every message between you and your assistant, and for routine results.
  • What goes there: your messages and your assistant's replies, through Telegram's servers.
  • Needed: no. The one-line server's setup offers it, and Skip for now leaves it out. You make your own bot, and it answers only you. Telegram is free. Other installations have no Telegram.

GitHub

#
  • When: while installing and updating, when you add an add-on or an extra skill, when mc-radar looks for new projects, and for sync if you set it up.
  • What goes there: for downloads, an ordinary web request. For sync, the files of your mission control folder, without keys, media and search databases, to a private repository in your own GitHub account. A public repository is refused.
  • Needed: the downloads, yes. Sync, no (Back up and restore your mission control).

Other downloads while installing

#
  • When: while installing and updating, depending on your installation.
  • Where from: nodejs.org for Node.js, Nous Research and PyPI for Hermes, npm for Node.js packages, and winget, apt or Homebrew for system programs.
  • On the one-line server also: Docker's installer, Godspeed's image from GitHub's image registry, and Caddy from Docker Hub. Caddy gives the server its https:// address; a server without Docker gets it from GitHub.
  • What goes there: ordinary download requests.

godspeedmissioncontrol.com

#
  • When: the Mac and Linux install line and the one-line server line fetch their installer through it.
  • What goes there: an ordinary download request. The website counts each download, per file and per day, and keeps nothing about who downloaded it.

Your hosting company

#
  • When: only with a server, such as one rented at Hostinger.
  • What goes there: everything on that server lives on their machines.

Let's Encrypt, sslip.io and ipify.org

#
  • When: a server gets its https:// address.
  • What goes there: Let's Encrypt issues the certificate for your server's address name. Every certificate goes into public lists, so anyone can see that the name has a website. Your notebook still asks for your password.
  • sslip.io: without a name of your own, the one-line server's address is built from its IP address, as a-b-c-d.sslip.io. To build it, the server asks ipify.org once for its IP address, or icanhazip.com and ifconfig.me if that fails. sslip.io then answers every lookup of that address.
  • To avoid sslip.io and ipify.org: give the one-line server your own domain name when you install (Install Godspeed Mission Control on a server).
  • A server without Docker uses the name your hosting company gave it, and checks it with Cloudflare's and Google's public name lookup.

The food table

#
  • When: once on every installation, during the install or the first time the notebook starts without it.
  • What goes there: only the download request to blsdb.de. The table of foods and nutrients comes from the Max Rubner-Institut (CC BY 4.0).

Open Food Facts

#
  • When: only when you track packaged food by barcode or brand. Open Food Facts is a free online product database.
  • What goes there: the barcode or the search words, nothing about you.
  • To avoid it: describe what you ate in words.

Gmail

#
  • When: only after you connect it, and then when your assistant searches, reads or drafts mail.
  • What goes there: your mission control signs in with an app password you made for it. It saves drafts and never sends. What it reads goes on to your AI provider.
  • To stop it: disconnect it and delete the app password (Let it read your Gmail).

AgentMail

#
  • When: only if you give your mission control an email address of its own and forward mail to it.
  • What goes there: the mail you forward. AgentMail is a company in the United States, so check first whether you may store other people's details there.
  • Needed: no. You sign up with AgentMail yourself. It is free for light use and paid above that.

Google Drive and other connections

#
  • When: only after you connect a folder in Settings, under Optional account connections, Read a Google Drive folder, and import it.
  • What goes there: your mission control reads that one folder with a read-only token you get from Google. It copies the folder's text files, PDFs and pictures into your notebook.
  • Other connections there: spend-guard reads a balance, board-export reads records, and browser-post sends a post whose exact content you approved, each to an address you type in.

kie.ai

#
  • When: when social-visuals, excalidraw-visuals or scroll-craft makes a picture or a video clip with your own kie.ai key.
  • What goes there: the description of the picture, and any reference picture you give it.
  • Costs: each picture costs money there, so Godspeed asks before any step that spends.

Figma

#
  • When: when the figma skill reads a design, with a read-only Figma token you make.
  • What goes there: requests for that design. It never writes to Figma.

The voice that answers voice notes

#
  • When: when Godspeed answers in Telegram with a voice note. That happens for your voice notes unless you sent /voice off, for every answer after /voice tts, and when you ask for a spoken answer.
  • What goes there: the words of that answer. With the free voice they go to Microsoft's speech service, with your own voice to your ElevenLabs account. Your voice notes are turned into text on your server, unless your ElevenLabs key may do that: then your voice notes go to ElevenLabs too.
  • Costs: the free voice costs nothing. ElevenLabs charges your account for each voice note it speaks or turns into text.

Voice and media services

#
  • When: when media-use, motion-graphics or product-launch-video uses a key you set for HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Gemini, OpenAI or Groq.
  • What goes there: what you ask it to make, under your own account.
  • Also: media-use looks up logos at svgl.app and DuckDuckGo, and sends usage counts to PostHog for HeyGen, linked to your HeyGen account once you sign in. motion-graphics fetches map tiles from CARTO and Esri.

The Wingman's dating site

#
  • When: every evening session, and every 30 minutes to check matches and messages, if you installed the Wingman.
  • What goes there: it opens profiles, likes, passes and sends the messages you chose, under your own account. Each profile's text, never its pictures, goes through Godspeed's configured AI connection. A separate connection is used only if you explicitly chose one in the Wingman.
  • Also: its experimental Android emulator downloads Google's Android tools, and Java from adoptium.net if you agree.

The observed state line

#
  • When: only if you add it to your morning brief (Add-ons).
  • What goes there: an ordinary request for one small public file on GitHub. Nothing about you is sent.

Querino

#
  • When: in the getting-to-know-you chat, your assistant can give you a message to paste into ChatGPT or Claude. It adds a link to the same message on Querino, a prompt website.
  • What goes there: nothing. Opening the link is an ordinary website visit.

Supabase, for a Menerio import

#
  • When: only if you copy your notes from Menerio, a hosted notebook service, with Settings, Import from Menerio.
  • What goes there: your notebook reads your Menerio data once through Supabase, the database company behind Menerio, with the keys you give. It only reads, and the keys are not kept.
