Questions, answered

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan gives you AI help every day, and Pro gives you about 10,000 AI actions a month. You sign in with Google or a code we email you, so your work follows you to every device.

Will it sound like AI?

It keeps the words plain and sincere and avoids stock lines like "everything happens for a reason". It won't invent memories or details about the person who died.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Install the Preener keyboard for Android and open Condolences from the keyboard in any app. Your account also works in Chrome and on the web.
