Common questions
Straight answers, including the ones that are not flattering. If yours is not here, write to us — we will answer, and add it.
How it works
What does it actually do?
You upload material you own — course lessons, webinars, podcasts, coaching calls, any recording. It reads the words in that material and lets you (and, if you publish it, your audience) ask questions about them. Each answer quotes the exact moment it came from, so you can click and hear it yourself.
How accurate are the answers?
The answers come only from the material you selected, never from the open internet, so they cannot invent a quote from somewhere else. They can still be wrong: a speaker can be unclear, automatic captions can mishear a word, or the question can be broader than the material. That is exactly why every claim carries its source — you are meant to check the ones that matter.
What if the material does not cover my question?
It says so. That is deliberate. A tool that always produces a confident answer is a tool you cannot trust on the day it matters.
Which languages does it work in?
You can ask in your own language and get the answer back in that language, even when the material is in another one. Quality follows the quality of the captions or audio.
Can I use my own recordings instead?
Yes — upload a file or paste a direct media link, and it becomes searchable and questionable the same way. For many people this is the more useful half: their own calls, lessons and meetings.
What happened to YouTube links and channels?
We removed them. Building brains from other people’s YouTube content sat on legal ground we are not willing to stand on, so the product now works only with material you own or are licensed to use. Anything you transcribed before stays readable. If you own a YouTube channel, you own the original recordings too — upload those. A direct, authorized connection for channel owners is on the roadmap.
What is a public “Ask me” page?
You can publish any of your brains at its own address. Anyone can ask it questions there — no account needed — and it answers only from your material, citing the exact moment. Your plan includes a monthly allowance of these audience answers; questions it has already answered are served instantly and never count.
Price and plans
What does the free plan include?
One brain, five grounded answers, two instant transcripts, ten minutes of uploaded audio and one AI article. No card, no trial clock. It is meant to be enough to judge whether the thing is useful to you.
What happens when I reach a limit?
Nothing is deleted and nothing breaks — the action simply stops until the next month, and you are told which limit you reached. On the free plan you can also unlock a bit more use by leaving an honest review.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes, from your own account page, in two clicks, without writing to anyone. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Is there a refund?
Yes. Fourteen days, full refund, no questions and no form to fill in. Write one line to support and it is done.
Why not a cheaper plan?
Every answer costs us real money in AI processing, so a plan cheaper than its cost would either be a bait or a promise we could not keep. When we want to thank someone, we add more use instead of cutting the price.
Your data
Do you train AI models on my content?
No. Your uploads, questions and answers are not used to train any model, ours or anyone else’s. They exist so the product can serve you, and for nothing else.
Can I export or delete everything?
Yes, both, from your account page and without asking us. Export gives you a single file with everything we hold; deletion erases your account and your content for good, including anything you uploaded.
Who can see my brains?
Only you. They are private to your account. The only public thing is an answer you deliberately choose to share with a link.
Creators and fairness
Is this fair to the people who made the videos?
That question shaped the design. We sell a way to search and question material, never the material itself. Answers are short and always point back to the original moment, which sends people to the source rather than replacing it.
I am a creator and I do not want my work used here.
Write to us and it is removed. No forms, no argument, no delay.
Practical
Can I use it from my phone?
Yes — the site works on a phone, and you can also connect a brain to WhatsApp or Telegram and just message it like a person.
Can my AI assistant use it?
Yes. On any paid plan you can connect it to Claude, Cursor or another assistant that speaks MCP, and it can query your material directly, with the same citations.
Something is broken or missing. Who do I talk to?
The person who built it. Write to support@youchannelbrains.com — it is one person reading, so answers are honest rather than instant.
Still unsure?
Ask us before paying anything — or just use the free plan and decide for yourself.
