Payments are generally non-refundable after access is activated, including for disliked, inaccurate, or unsuitable responses. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not request a refund. Your legal rights still apply. Read the billing and cancellation policy

Plan facts, refunds, and privacy
  • Agents provide AI-generated text assistance. They do not send messages, connect to your accounts, process uploaded files, or create finished media files.
  • Usage limits and service availability apply. Access does not promise unlimited use or guaranteed results.
  • Chat connection safeguard: 50 counted session openings per account, shared across Agents. The counter resets one hour after the last counted opening.
  • At the limit, another session opening is refused until the counter resets. An unsuccessful connection attempt can still count.
  • Opening a session is different from sending a message. This safeguard is not a message allowance. Usage and availability limits may also apply within a conversation.
  • The individual-Agent and all-Agent plans use the same account-wide connection safeguard. Opening an Agent chat requests a session; refreshing, opening another tab, or reconnecting can request another. Revising in an already connected conversation does not itself call this session-opening endpoint.
  • A refused opening does not add to the count or extend its reset. When the reset time is available, the workspace shows when to try opening the Agent again. The connection safeguard does not specify how many useful drafts or messages a subscription includes.
  • Manage future renewals in Account & Billing → Subscriptions. Cancellation and a refund are different actions.
  • Payments are generally non-refundable after access is activated, including for disliked, inaccurate, or unsuitable responses. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not request a refund. Your legal rights still apply.
  • Your prompts and relevant context are sent to the enabled AI service to generate a response. Avoid confidential, regulated, highly sensitive, or unnecessary personal information. Retention and deletion depend on the service and provider; read the Privacy Policy before sharing work.
  • For billing or access help, email help@ai-gen.co. Include your account email, order number, Agent name, and a short description of the issue. Do not send passwords, payment-card details, or confidential prompts.
  • If a payment has already been taken but access is missing, review your existing order and contact support before buying again. Report duplicate charges or billing errors through the same route. Any remedy follows the billing policy and applicable law.

Billing & Cancellation · Privacy Policy · Terms of Use

Describe your publication, audience, accepted topics, word count, and editorial policies. This Agent helps draft contributor guidelines, clarify submission requirements, and prepare revision or acceptance messages.

What you can take away

  • A contributor brief tailored to your publication
  • A clear submission and review checklist
  • Follow-up policies or editorial messages

How to use it

Begin with the publication details that matter, get a structured brief, and refine specific policies and contributor messages in the same conversation. The examples show how a broad idea becomes usable editorial guidance.

This workspace provides text assistance.

What you bring

  • Submission process, editorial policies, and known payment terms
  • Know the publication’s submission and editorial requirements

A good fit for

  • Drafting a contributor brief

When the publication changes

Revisit your contributor brief when an issue’s theme, format, word count, submission process, or confirmed terms change. Paste the current guidelines and describe the changes, then ask for a revised brief or submission checklist to review.

Bring the relevant current text each time. Do not rely on the Agent remembering an earlier conversation, and confirm editorial, payment, copyright, and legal terms yourself.

This remains a monthly subscription even if you need only one draft. Compare your expected use with the renewal terms before choosing access.

What am I buying?

Choose access to this named Agent or the all-Agent plan. The offers above show the current price, billing frequency, and exact scope. GPTs on ChatGPT and future Skills are separate.

Checkout creates or uses your Ai-GEN account. Once your payment is confirmed, you can start using your Agent. Open it from your order confirmation or account. Choose a starter task, add your inputs, and send your first request.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Manage cancellation under Account & Billing → Subscriptions. Review the status and cancellation details shown there before confirming.

What if the response is not right for me?

Can I use the response in my work?

Use it as a draft to review and adapt. Verify calculations, facts, rights, and suitability before relying on it. Do not provide information you do not have permission to share.

Can I paste work or client information?

Your request and relevant context are sent to the enabled AI service to generate a response. Use placeholders and share only the minimum information you have permission to send. Avoid confidential, regulated, highly sensitive, or unnecessary personal information; removing names alone does not make restricted material suitable. Review the Privacy Policy before sharing work
