Approving your preview starts checkout and a 30-day free trial, and that's when a card is entered — nothing before approval requires payment.
Once the owner approves the preview, checkout starts and a 30-day free trial begins — that's the point where a credit card is entered. Before approval, everything is free and private; approval is the single step that moves the assistant from private review toward going live on the real website.
First, the free preview is built in under 24 hours from the business's own published content, with no card required. Second, the owner reviews it privately — testing answers, checking sources, adjusting what the assistant is allowed to cover. Third, when the owner approves it, checkout begins. That's when a card is entered, and it's also when the 30-day free trial starts running.
Nothing in that sequence happens automatically or out of order. The trial doesn't start before approval, and approval doesn't happen before the owner has actually looked at the assistant on the private link.
During the 30-day trial, the business is on the same terms it will be on afterward if it continues: $99 a month, flat, for one business and one website. It's month to month, with no per-conversation meter and no feature tiers — the flat price is the whole price. The owner can cancel anytime, including during the trial.
Approving the assistant isn't the same as locking it in unchanged. The owner keeps control from the dashboard afterward — what sources the assistant answers from, what boundaries it respects, and where it routes conversations that need a person. Content can also be retracted or corrected if something on the business's site changes. The dashboard also shows whether the assistant is live, what visitors have been asking, which leads need follow-up, and where the assistant needed help answering something.
After approval, a visitor on the now-live site asks: "Can I book a Saturday appointment?"
The assistant checks the business's published booking and hours pages for an answer, and shows the source page behind whatever it says. If the visitor wants to actually get on the calendar rather than just check availability, the assistant hands off — capturing the visitor's name and contact, with their permission, and sending it to the owner's inbox, even if it's midnight when the question comes in.
Approval is what starts checkout and the 30-day trial. The card is entered at that point, and the assistant is set up to go live on the terms the owner approved.
Yes. Sources, boundaries, and routing are all adjustable from the dashboard after approval, not locked in at that moment.
The trial runs on the same flat $99-a-month rate the business would pay going forward — month to month, cancel anytime, no per-conversation meter. Free private preview, built in under 24 hours, no card, at askmy.business.
