THE FOUNDING PILOT agreement.

You're one of the first people in the world to use ALIGN.AI, so this page puts the whole deal in plain language. Read it once, and if it works for you, agreeing takes one word.

What founding pilot access means

EVERYTHING, FREE, FOR FOUR WEEKS.

Founding pilot access is the full product... every feature, every conversation, the same ALIGN.AI a paying member gets. It's comped, which means free: no card, no trial clock, no bill arriving later. Your account is marked founding access and billing never touches you.

The term is four weeks. That's long enough for the weekly rhythm to fire a few times, and short enough to stay an experiment. Near the end of the four weeks we'll talk about whether you want to carry on, and what carrying on looks like. Continuing is never automatic and never silent... no charge ever starts without your fresh, explicit yes.

It's a beta

YOU'RE SEEING IT BEFORE IT'S FINISHED.

That's the whole point of you being here, and it comes with honest edges. Things will change while you're using it... copy will move, features will appear mid-pilot, and occasionally something will wobble or plain break. When it does, tell me and it gets fixed fast. Early eyes on rough edges is exactly what a founding pilot is for.

And you're never the last to know. Anything that changes your experience or your data in a real way, you'll hear it from me directly.

It's AI

SOFTWARE, WITH HONEST BOUNDARIES.

ALIGN.AI is built from my methodology, and it's software. It will sometimes get things wrong, and when it does you can tell it so and tell me so. It isn't me, it isn't therapy, and it isn't medical, legal or financial advice. The full plain-language version of what it is and what it isn't lives on the what-this-is page, and it's worth the two minutes.

It isn't crisis support

If you're ever in crisis, please reach a human now: Samaritans on 116 123 (UK), 988 (US), or your local emergency services.

Feedback is the deal

YOUR EYES ARE THE PRICE.

Pilot access is free because your feedback is what I'm buying, and what I'm asking for is deliberately light:

Reply to the check-ins
You'll get a short email a few days in and the odd one after. A rambling reply is a perfect reply... voice-note-shaped, half-formed, thought still cooking.
Press the feedback button
It's in the app on every screen. Anything that reads wrong, off or harmful, press it in the moment... it keeps the context attached and it reaches a human.
One conversation at the end
A short call or a voice-note exchange, your choice. Your honest read of the four weeks, and if you want to carry on as a member, it's where we sort that... on your fresh yes and nothing less.

Everything you tell me will be used to shape the product. That's the deal, and it's the whole deal.

Your data

IDENTICAL RIGHTS TO ANY MEMBER.

Pilot status changes nothing about your data. Your conversations are yours, export and delete are buttons in your settings that work the moment you press them, and your data is reviewed only as disclosed in the terms. The API providers powering ALIGN.AI don't train their models on your conversations. The detail lives in the privacy policy.

Worth saying plainly: the feedback you choose to give me is what shapes the product. Your conversations stay private, exactly as they would for any member.

If you love it

SHOUT ABOUT IT, ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT.

There's no obligation here, ever... this section is an invitation, and that's the whole of it. But if ALIGN.AI genuinely helps you, sharing it helps more founders find it. Post about it, tag me, tell a founder friend, screenshot the moment it read you right. And never share anything you'd rather keep private... your conversations are yours, always.

Founding pilots will also be first in line for the affiliate programme when it opens after launch... your early eyes should earn something.

Ending it

EITHER OF US CAN END IT, ANYTIME.

If it stops being useful, or life gets loud, or you simply don't fancy it anymore... say the word and you're out. No notice period, no awkward conversation, no hard feelings, and your export and delete buttons still work on the way out. Same in reverse: if I ever need to pause or end the pilot from my side, you'll hear it from me personally, with the why.

How you agree

REPLY yes TO YOUR INVITE EMAIL.

That's the whole ceremony. No e-signature, no portal, no initials in boxes. Your YES means you've read this page and you're in on these terms, and my reply means you're a founding pilot. Within a day you'll have your access link.

Questions first? Ask me directly... jodie@jodiehayward.com. I read and answer every one of these personally.
