AI Limitations

Information may be outdated

Laws, regulations, and policies change frequently. TOM's knowledge has a training cutoff and may not reflect the most recent changes.

AI can make mistakes

AI systems can generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information. Always verify important information with a licensed professional or official government source.

Laws vary by location

Legal and financial rules differ significantly by state, country, and jurisdiction. TOM's general information may not apply to your specific location.

Your situation is unique

General information cannot account for the specific facts of your situation. A licensed professional can analyze your individual circumstances.

How TOM Uses AI

TOM uses large language model (LLM) technology to generate responses to your questions. Your questions and conversation history may be sent to an AI model provider to generate responses. By using TOM, you consent to this processing.

Do not share sensitive personal identifiers (Social Security numbers, full account numbers, passwords, or medical record numbers) in your conversations with TOM.

Your Consent

By using TOM, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these limitations, that TOM provides educational information only, and that you will consult a licensed professional for advice specific to your situation.
