Thanks! Is there any Copilot-operated server involved in any of the features, or are the only servers ever used run by openai.com and google.com? Does all of the decision logic about how to do Google searches run client-side on my phone?

For the autonomous modes, is the "main loop" contained within the shortcut itself, running on my phone, or is there a server involved, sending push notifications down to me from the cloud?

Does Copilot retain any logs of my usage? What about OpenAI, and Google?

Only one type of request will be sent to me, to my licensing server, which validates the license key received after purchase to provide the Premium set of shortcuts or the latest version. So when installing COPILOT or checking for updates, that request sends the license key received after purchase along with the current version installed and returns the links to the Premium version of COPILOT shortcuts or the latest one when an update is required. Any other requests are between your phone, OpenAI and Google. So yes, the "main loop" happens within the shortcut itself, and the current progress notifications are sent from it.
