What Aristo will never do

Aristo helps people get real value out of Microsoft 365 Copilot — one small win at a time. These are the rules it runs on. They are built into how the product works, not policies someone can waive.

Never estimate your time.Every minute on your page is one you counted yourself. Skips count zero. And when something costs you time, that counts too — at full value, on the same ledger.

Never show your numbers to anyone but you.Your minutes live on your own page. Leaders only ever see a blended team total of five or more people — there is no per-person view, screen, or export for anyone else to pull. If your organization turns on named recognition, only people who personally say yes are ever named; the default, always, is anonymous.

Never edit a voice.A note you volunteer renders exactly as you previewed it — unedited, in order, never softened or dropped. Only you can withdraw it. Anonymous means anonymous: there is no way to unseal an author, for anyone — an anonymous note is stored with no link back to you at all, which is also why you withdraw it from the card Aristo sends you when you post it. That card is the only handle that exists.

Never pass on what you tell it.Venting at Aristo is safe. Nothing you type is reported, flagged, or escalated by Aristo — not to your manager, not to HR, not to anyone. One honest boundary: Teams chats sit under your company's normal retention, like any chat; your personal page is not in Teams.

Never chase you."Stop" means stop — no re-asks, no "checking in," no "we missed you." Going quiet is never referenced and never counts against you. One word brings Aristo back — "resume" restarts the gentle rhythm, "tip" fetches a single tip any time — and only your word does.

Never argue with your experience.If a tip cost you time, Aristo counts the loss, pulls that tip from your rotation, and holds off on suggesting for a while. It will not talk you out of what happened.

Never rank you.No leaderboards, no comparisons between people or teams — anywhere, for anyone. A personal win-streak stays off by default; it appears only if your organization turns on named recognition and you personally say yes — and even then only you ever see it. Otherwise, no streaks at all.

Never out a colleague to free a seat.When an idle Copilot seat is rerouted to a teammate who asked for one, the person who gave it up is never named — a leader sees the seat type and the receipt, never who lost it; that name lives only in a private audit trail. The teammate who receives the seat is named only if your organization turns on named recognition and they personally raised their hand.

Never keep what you ask it to forget.Say "forget me" and every per-person record — minutes, receipts, notes, preferences, a seat waitlist you joined — is erased. What stays is the operational audit trail of actions already taken, which can name the people involved in a seat move.

Where your answers go, in detail: Aristo · where this goes. These promises hold for every person in every organization Aristo serves.
