FAQs
Do you have a free plan?
We don't have a free plan but when you sign up you'll be allowed to create 3 free sources (PDFs or web pages) and have limited Copilot usage so you can try the product before you subscribe. Afterwards you'll be prompted to select one of our plans and to start a further 7 day free trial.
Do you train on our data?
We don't train on any of your data. We use your documents as a knowledge base using a technique called retrieval augmented generation (RAG) so that we can provide the most contextual and up-to-date information to our AI. This improves the accuracy and relevancy of our responses.
Do you have a mobile app?
Currently we only support desktop.
Is my data secure?
We store your data on GDPR and SOC2 compliant cloud servers. You're in full control of your data and when you delete it from our platform it is removed completely. All communication to our servers are encrypted end to end.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major payment methods. All subscription plans and payments are managed securely with our payment provider Stripe.
