Frequently Asked Questions

Who is _R1 designed for?

_R1 is built for marketing teams, agencies, founders, and business owners who need to move quickly from ideation to execution on marketing ideas. It’s particularly valuable to overcome the blank page moment, giving users and their teams an actionable _R1 to react to and build from—whether for strategic planning, creative campaigns, events and activations, or other marketing projects.

What exactly does _R1 deliver?

_R1 helps you and your marketing team get to the first round of a marketing strategy. It includes target audience insights, creative concepts, deep research, social and cultural trends, potential partnerships, influencer recommendations, and also gives you the ability to create visual references to share with your team and clients.

How do I get started?

Follow the link in this email to set up your account. Once your account is set up, follow the instructions in _R1 to create your profile. You'll then be able to create your first project—we've set up common marketing project types to help get you started.

How much time investment is required?

Your initial account setup and input takes around 5 minutes. Once you kick off a project, _R1 will create a draft of your marketing strategy in ~2-3 minutes. From there, it will allow you to fine tune or add additional input, do all of the research, analysis, and iteration via audience feedback, and produce an actionable _R1 outline for your review ~30 minutes.

What’s included in the beta and what will pricing look like?

Beta access provides full platform functionality for free for a one-month trial. Our ask is that you provide feedback, call out any functionality issues, and lend your insights to help us improve our platform.

How can I provide feedback?

In beta, you'll find a button on the bottom right of the screen that looks like a quotation mark. Clicking on that button will allow you to provide feedback and submit any bug reports. Submitting your feedback using this form will help us recreate any conditions that may have caused the bug or issue that you experienced.

Will my data be used to train AI models?

No. We adhere to OpenAI’s enterprise data usage policy. All of your inputs, generated outlines, and project data remain private to your account and are never publicly accessible, sold or distributed, and never used to train future LLMs. All of the data that you generate using _R1 is also kept private and only viewable by you, your organization, and any outside contributors that you share your outlines or artifacts with.
