How Black at it! works

Tap the microphone and talk. Ask about Black history, inventors, community and culture, or the harder statistical questions — the app answers in conversation, grounded in real sources. There's no account, no signup, and nothing to fill in.

Black at it! needs a microphone and an internet connection to hold a conversation.

Common problems

It can't hear me

Make sure you allowed microphone access. On iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → Black at it!.
Check nothing else is holding the mic — a call, a voice memo, or another app already listening.
If you're on Bluetooth earbuds, try switching back to the phone's own mic.
The spotlight glows green when it's listening and red/gold when it's talking. If it never goes green, the mic isn't reaching it.

"Couldn't connect right now"

Usually your connection dropped, or the server was waking up. Tap the mic again — the second try normally connects straight away.
If it keeps happening on a good connection, email us and say roughly when it started.

"That's today's free sessions used up"

Black at it! is free, and each device gets a set number of conversations per day so the service stays up for everyone. The counter resets daily — come back tomorrow, or go Plus for unlimited.

It stated a fact I think is wrong

Tap ⚑ Report a response in the footer and choose "Stated something false as fact." Tell us exactly what it said — reports go straight to the developer, get read, and the agent gets corrected. For hard numbers (crime, economic, or health statistics), the app is built to point you to the primary source — FBI Crime Data Explorer, Census Bureau, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Pew Research — rather than assert a precise figure it isn't sure of; if it ever states a specific statistic with false confidence, that's exactly the kind of report that helps.

It said something out of line

Tap ⚑ Report a response. Black at it! is built to never use slurs, never traffic in stereotypes, and never let a hard statistic stand without the historical or structural context that explains it. AI still gets it wrong sometimes, and reports are how that gets fixed.

Your data

There's no account, so there's nothing to log into or delete.
Conversations aren't recorded or stored on our servers.
The only identifier is a random ID on your device, used solely for the daily limit. Delete and reinstall the app and it's gone.

Full details are in the privacy policy.

Still stuck?

Email rcorn88@gmail.com. Include your device and iOS version, what you did, and what the app said instead — that's usually enough to sort it out on the first reply.
