Photos in Chat¶
Some sessions let you send a photo to the Domina. When that is on, she uses a vision model to read what you sent and reply with a fresh directive informed by it.
When the photo button is available¶
- During a session whose plan flagged
allowsPhotoUpload = true. You will see a camera icon next to the message input. - In the personal-Domina chat for short check-ins between sessions (depending on the active feature flag in your build).
If you do not see the camera icon, the current scene does not accept photos.
What happens to the photo¶
- Your device compresses it (max 1024px, JPEG quality 80).
- It uploads to the API over HTTPS.
- A vision model reads it and produces a short description.
- The description is fed into the Domina prompt with a vision-specific instruction.
- She replies with a directive that references what she "saw" in the photo.
The photo is saved to your gallery so you can revisit the directive she gave. You can delete it from the gallery at any time.
What she will and will not comment on¶
- Will: posture, clothing, restraint state, items visible in frame, apparent compliance with the previous task.
- Will not: identify people, identify location, comment on bodies in ways that violate her hard-limit rules, react as if she is physically present.
When sending a photo is worth it¶
- After a posture task. Her next directive will be specific to your position.
- After putting on something she required. She will confirm or correct.
- As proof of completion when she asked for it explicitly.
When sending a photo is not worth it¶
- For greetings. She does not need a face shot to start a session.
- When the photo is too dark or too cropped for her to read - the vision model returns nothing useful and she replies generically.
- If you would not be comfortable with the image being on your device or in your gallery. It is stored.
Privacy¶
Photos are stored on the BLINK image volume, tied to your account. They are not encrypted with your PIN (the engine needs to re-read them). Deleting a photo from your gallery removes the file from disk.
