Length, formatting and free credits

Guests receive 5 credits per day. Sign in with your email for 20 daily credits and saved projects. Taglines use 5, 10 or 16 words per idea; headlines and subject lines have their own character limits. Longer drafts support up to 300 words for guests or 700 when signed in. Summaries stay shorter than the source. Optional explicit line limits apply only to replies and social captions. One generation or rewrite costs one credit; failed requests are refunded. Credits reset at midnight UTC.

Choose plain text, Markdown or WhatsApp formatting. Copy preserves the output’s line breaks and formatting markers. A line means an explicit line break, not wrapping on your phone.

Extreme simplification sacrifices mathematical or technical edge cases for intuitive conceptual grasp.
