AI features: turning them on and off

The ten AI features of your account: what stays available without AI for each one, who can turn them off, and the brake YStay can apply platform-wide.

The AI features page brings together your ten AI settings, one per feature: “Each artificial intelligence feature can be turned off for your entire account. A feature that is turned off no longer sends anything to the AI provider; whatever works without AI stays available.” It opens from My account › AI features card — “Choose the AI features used by your account.” — Manage AI features button.

The ten features, and what stays available without AI

The features are grouped Short-term rental (nine features) then Long-term rental (one feature). Each row shows “Data transmitted to the provider:” above the On / Off toggle, then, once turned off, “Turned off on {date} by {name}.”

Long-term rental: Application file analysis — not offered by YStay at this time. This feature has no AI mechanism to describe; a file is still analyzed by rules.

What you see on a screen affected by a feature that is off

On the screen where it applies, a feature that is turned off shows “This AI feature is turned off for your account.”, and only you, as the account holder, then see the Turn back on in AI features link that brings you back to this page. A team member reads “Only the account holder can turn it back on.” instead.

The YStay brake

YStay can suspend a feature platform-wide — a provider incident, a legal concern — without touching your own setting. The feature then carries the Suspended by YStay badge, and the screen concerned shows “This AI feature is temporarily suspended by YStay.”, with no reason given. Your own setting stays recorded as it is: if you had left it on, it starts working again by itself as soon as YStay lifts the brake.

What turning a feature off does not change

  • What has already been sent to the provider follows its own retention period (up to 30 days at Anthropic): turning a feature off does not erase anything retroactively.
  • It is not a new version of a contractual document: your Data Processing Agreement does not change because you turned a feature off.
  • The switch is immediate: anything already queued at the moment you turn the feature off stops before it is sent, without using up quota or triggering a notification.
