The service
byline is a creator memory tool. With your authorization, byline reads connected sources, private notes, and audience signals, then creates a profile, memory, and insights for your workspace. You can connect supported AI tools to that memory.
Accounts and workspaces
You must be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. You are responsible for your account, your workspace, and the sources you connect. If you invite other members, you are responsible for their activity in the workspace.
Your content
You keep ownership of the content you connect, forward, or add. You give byline permission to host, store, read, transform, index, and send that content to the service providers needed to provide byline. That permission exists only so byline can run the product for you, secure it, and expose your workspace memory to tools you choose to connect.
You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to provide the content and audience data you connect, including comments, emails, transcripts, and third-party material.
Connected platforms
Connected platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, websites, and email are operated by third parties. Their APIs, policies, limits, and availability can change. byline is not responsible for a platform changing or removing access.
AI output
byline uses AI models to process content and generate summaries, profile facets, memories, and insights. AI output can be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for reviewing and deciding whether to use it.
Plans, billing, and cancellation
Signup does not grant free reading access. Eligible first-time payers may purchase one introductory month of either monthly plan for US$0.99. Monthly Creator then renews automatically at US$29 per month and monthly Studio at US$99 per month unless canceled. The introduction is available once per payer, not per workspace; cancellation, refunds, or a new workspace do not renew eligibility.
Both introductory plans include Creator reading allowances. Studio retains its workspace and team access during the introduction. Annual Creator costs US$261 upfront per year and annual Studio US$891 upfront per year, renewing annually; annual plans do not receive the introductory offer. Applicable amounts and renewal terms are shown before payment. Access depends on confirmed payment or an explicit complimentary grant, not merely returning from checkout.
You can cancel renewal at any time through the dashboard and retain access until the end of the period already paid for. Self-service plan or billing-cadence changes take effect at the next renewal at the selected plan's normal price; they do not immediately change the access already purchased. Processing is subject to the applicable reading allowances and service safety limits.
Payments are processed by Stripe. Use the dashboard to manage renewal and the payment portal for available payment details, or contact [email protected]. These terms do not limit statutory consumer rights.
Self-serve workspace deletion is currently disabled while a safer deletion and export flow is prepared.
Acceptable use
You must not use byline to break the law, violate platform terms, process data you do not have permission to provide, attack the service, evade usage limits, create accounts to abuse promotional eligibility, upload malware, or misuse another workspace's data.
byline may suspend or limit access when needed to protect users, connected platforms, payment systems, or the service.
