FAQ
Common questions about AICoven during the beta period.
Is the beta free?
Yes. AICoven is free during beta. You will still pay your AI providers directly via BYOK.
What does BYOK mean here?
You connect your own API keys for providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, and Mistral. Provider usage is billed to your account, not through AICoven.
Which models are supported?
Modern models across major providers, with orchestration and fallback. We're adding more throughout the beta.
How is memory handled?
Memory is scoped by thread and workspace (Coven). New memory is proposed, and only stored when you approve it.
Can I export my data?
You can request an export of your workspace's content. We'll add self‑serve export tools as we progress.
When will pricing be available?
Post‑beta. We'll announce simple, transparent plans in advance and give beta users a heads‑up.
Why subscriptions for Cloud, but one-time for Local?
As a principle, we love software you can buy once and own forever. That's exactly why the Local edition exists. However, the Cloud version requires persistent infrastructure—secure database hosting, memory indexing, and background agent orchestration engines. These generate ongoing monthly server costs. The subscription model exists strictly to offset these hard costs and keep the platform sustainable.
