Using Podiumi

Will it invent things about the person?

No. The generator only uses the memories you type in. Where there is not enough detail to write a section properly, it leaves a visible prompt in square brackets asking you for the missing detail instead of filling the gap with something plausible. This matters most for eulogies, and it is a hard rule rather than a setting.

How long does it take?

Filling in the form honestly takes about five minutes. Generating both drafts is immediate. Most people then spend ten to fifteen minutes editing section by section, because your own phrasing always beats anything written for you.

What do I actually have to provide?

The occasion, who the speech is for, your relationship to them, and at least two true memories. Everything else — a target length, a tone, who is in the room, what you want to wish them — is optional and improves the result.

Can two people share one speech?

Yes. The two-speaker preset splits the speech between two voices, writes the handover lines, and prints each speaker's name on the relevant cue cards so neither of you talks over the other.

Is the reading-time estimate reliable?

It is calculated from your word count at the speaking rate of the tone you chose, plus a pause between sections. It is close, but almost everyone speeds up on the night — so if you are on a hard time limit, aim fifteen seconds under it.

Cue cards

What exactly do the cue cards look like?

A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm), two-sided. The front carries up to four large bullet points typeset by our software, a section label, a card number, a timing estimate and a delivery cue. The back carries the full text of that section in smaller type, for when you lose your place.

How do I print them?

Download the PDF and print at 100% scale on A6 card, or print two-up on A4 and cut. Choose double-sided printing with long-edge binding so each card's back lands behind its own front. 250gsm card or heavier holds up better in a nervous hand.

Is any text in the cards AI-generated as an image?

No. Every character on the cards is typeset by our own code from the text you approved. Nothing on a printable file is drawn by an image model, which is why names, dates and numbers come out exactly as you typed them.

Billing

Do I need to enter card details to try it?

No. The Free plan gives you one speech a month with watermarked cue cards and never asks for card details.

How do I cancel, and what happens to my access?

Cancel at any time from the account area, or by emailing support@sydneymwasuku.shop. Your plan stops renewing immediately and you keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum term.

Do unused speeches roll over?

No. Each plan's monthly allowance resets on your renewal date and unused speeches do not carry forward.

What is the refund policy?

If a paid plan is charged and you have not generated a speech in that billing period, email us within 14 days of the charge and we refund it in full. If something is broken on our side, we refund the affected period regardless of use. The full detail is on the refunds and cancellation page.

Which currency am I charged in?

All prices are in US dollars (USD) and are shown in full before you reach the checkout. Your bank may apply its own conversion or foreign transaction fee, which is outside our control.

Data & AI

Is my speech used to train AI models?

No. What you type is used to produce your speech and cue cards, and for nothing else. It is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not used as training data by us or by any provider we work with.

How long do you keep what I write?

Drafts stay in your browser while you work. Anything saved to your account is kept until you delete it, or for 12 months after your last sign-in, whichever comes first. You can delete a speech at any time, or email support and we will erase your account and its contents within 30 days.

Is the speech marked as AI-generated?

Yes, in two ways. Every downloaded file carries machine-readable provenance metadata declaring that it was produced with AI assistance, and every file also carries a visible line of text saying the same thing. This is deliberate, and it is not removable on any plan — paid plans remove the promotional watermark, not the AI disclosure.

Who owns the speech?

You do. On any paid plan you may use it for any lawful purpose, including commercially. On the Free plan the output is for personal, non-commercial use. We claim no ownership over what you write or what the tool assembles from it.

Can I use it for something other than a speech?

Within reason — it is built for spoken remarks at a personal occasion. It will not produce identity documents, invoices, contracts, medical paperwork or statements issued in the name of an organisation, and it will not write content that demeans or makes unproven allegations about a real person.
