Frequently asked

Does Copper AI publish anything on its own?

No. Everything lands as a WordPress draft for your team to review. Nothing publishes itself.

Is this a WordPress plugin or an external tool?

It's a WordPress plugin. Your team works inside the editor you already use. The AI work happens on our servers — you never touch it.

Which AI does it use?

We handle the AI layer. Copper AI is model-agnostic — you never manage an API key or a model setting to get value from it.

What's available at launch?

Booking Reports — daily jail booking write-ups drafted in the tone your publication already uses, fact-checked against the source, and saved as a WordPress draft. Obituaries, high school sports scores, and community meeting transcription are planned modules.

How does pricing work?

One price per module per month, based on the size of your publication. Small (0–100,000 monthly pageviews) is $15/mo or $150/yr. Medium (100,001–2,000,000) is $30/mo or $300/yr. Large (2,000,001+) is $60/mo or $600/yr. No per-seat billing, no overage. Annual is a 17% discount.

How do I pay?

Checkout is handled by Freemius inside the WordPress plugin after general availability. There is no checkout pre-launch.

What does setup look like for booking reports?

You give us a URL to your municipality's booking feed and your editorial rules in plain English (e.g. include DUIs and felonies; exclude misdemeanor trespassing unless repeat offender). You pick your tone — Straight, Conversational, Formal, or Community-Focused. Our technical team handles ingestion setup if your municipality's feed format is new to us.

Does it run on a schedule?

Yes — daily, at a time you configure.

Will my drafts be cited?

Yes. Every factual claim is checked against the original source report before the draft is handed to your editor.

When does general availability open?

When the first pilots ship. We are not setting a public date until product readiness is confirmed; waitlist members hear first.

How do you handle our data?

Source feeds are processed only to draft the article and to fact-check it. We do not republish your source data, and we do not train models on it. Drafts land in your WordPress install and stay there.

Can I see who else is using it?

Not yet. Our beta publishers are anonymous by default; we will only feature them publicly with their explicit, individual opt-in once general availability opens.
