AI Processing & Your Content

How AI Processing Works: When you generate content, your input is sent to OpenAI's GPT-4 API for processing. This is necessary to provide the hook generation and thread building features.

Important: We do NOT use your content to train our AI models. Your input is processed in real-time and is subject to OpenAI's data usage policies. OpenAI does not use API data for training by default.

YouTube Transcripts: When you provide a YouTube URL, we extract the transcript using YouTube's caption system. We do not store the video or full transcript permanently - only the generated outputs you choose to save.

Content Retention: Generated content (hooks, threads) is stored in your account history for the duration specified by your plan (30/90/365 days). You can delete content at any time.
