Who makes Pepper

Pepper is made by Vycari — Vycari Incorporated, a United States corporation, founded in 2026 by Chris Perry and Allen Hutchison.

Vycari is the company; Pepper is the assistant it builds. Chris and Allen founded Vycari, and they build Pepper. You'll see both names around the product: the web chat lives at pepper.vycari.ai, the footer of every public page says Vycari, and mail from the team comes from vycari.ai addresses.

Reading more about it

Chris and Allen both write about how they're building Pepper, and the writing is public — it's the best place to go if you want more than this page:

• allen.hutchison.org — Allen writes here.
• thechrisperry.substack.com — Chris writes here.
• vycari.ai — the company homepage.

Where things stand

Pepper is free to use, with usage limits. It's being built by the two people above — so the product moves quickly, and the fastest way to change something is to say so.

Telling the team something

• The 👍 / 👎 under any reply is the most direct route, and the one the team reads in bulk. A thumbs-down can carry a short note about what went wrong, and that note is what shapes where Pepper gets better.
• Email — support@vycari.ai for a problem you need a hand with, hello@vycari.ai for anything else.
• Pepper Beta Testing — everyone in the beta shares this one room, and you were added to it when you set up your account. It's the place to say how it's going in front of the other people trying Pepper, rather than only to the team. Everything posted there is visible to everyone in it, including what was said before you arrived, so treat it as a public room rather than a private line to the team — that's what the two addresses above are for.

Your data, and who else touches it

Pepper only ever sees the accounts you connect, and you can disconnect any of them in a click — see Connecting your accounts. For the whole picture — what's stored, who else touches it, and how to delete it or get a copy — see Your data.

For the fuller picture, four pages are public and need no account:

• Terms
• Privacy Policy
• Vendors — the service providers Vycari uses to run Pepper, and what each one handles.
• A notice for people who aren't users — for someone who turns up in your calendar or your inbox without a Pepper account of their own.

Privacy questions and requests about your own data go to privacy@vycari.ai; anything that looks like a security problem goes to security@vycari.ai, and the team would rather hear about it early than late.
