Staying safe
How Ask Gambia looks after you.
If you need help now
117Police.
116Ambulance and medical emergencies.
118Fire and rescue service.
The AI is not an emergency service and can't call for help for you. In an emergency, call 117 (police), 116 (ambulance) or 118 (fire). These lines are not always reachable everywhere: if one doesn't answer, ask people nearby or go to the nearest police station or health centre.
What we do
- Sovereign. The AI runs on sovereign infrastructure. Your questions are not sent to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or any other outside AI company.
- No adverts and no tracking. No cookies, no analytics, and your information is never sold.
- No account needed. Your questions aren't saved to a profile.
- Personal details removed. Phone numbers and names are taken out of questions before the AI sees them.
- Help comes first. Questions about danger or self-harm always get the helplines above, never an AI guess.
- Honest that it's AI. Every answer is marked as AI-written, and you can report it.
What you can do
- Don't type your national ID number, passport number, phone number, address, passwords or bank details.
- Check anything important, such as fees, deadlines and legal requirements, on the official website or with the office.
- Report any answer that is wrong or upsetting with the "Report this answer" link.
