Show HN: Ella – AI companion for emotional support when you're alone

When visiting the announced URL it is unclear (1) who is behind the bot, and (2) if anyone besides myself has access to the conversation.

Re. 1: For me it would suffice with a simple About page with contact information.

Re. 2: I would like to know where the conversation is stored, for how long, and who is able to read it. The bot is presented as “emotional support” so the conversation could potentially contain personal and sensitive information. E.g., if I'm in Texas and tells Ella about my unwanted pregnancy, should I be worried that the conversation falls into the hands of the texan authorities?

Cheers.
