No. Prepay $25 to activate your first key — that's all. After that, pay per message with no ongoing commitment. If you stop sending traffic, you stop paying.
The widget gracefully tells visitors it's temporarily unavailable. You add credits from Settings; service resumes instantly. You also get email alerts at 80% and 100% of your monthly cap.
Yes. Each key lets you pick which JCIL tiers are allowed (Fast / Standard / Deep checkboxes) and which is the default. Per-request model override is supported via the API.
Only the message content + your system prompt (including your knowledge-source content when relevant). We do not send user PII, IP addresses, or your API keys. API providers do not train on JCIL API traffic.
No. Your custom prompt is wrapped INSIDE the JCIL base identity. You can shape tone and persona; you cannot override pro-life, Scripture-faithful, or anti-blasphemy guardrails. If a visitor tries, the assistant politely declines and stays in character.
Yes. You can enable conversation logging per key (not on by default for privacy). Logs are yours to export. Visitors are anonymous unless you choose to collect identifiers.
Fast: ~1s to first token. Standard: ~1.5s. Deep: ~2-3s. Streaming makes the response feel instant. Knowledge-source cache warms up after the first request of the hour.
Create a key, customize the widget, paste the iframe. First 3 pilots get 3 months free.
