CoAuthor provides a platform that uses your pre-existing content to create an AI-powered representation of your writing style and expertise (an "Author AI Agent") to interact with and provide feedback to your Readers.
By uploading your content ("Author Content") to the Service, you grant CoAuthor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, process, analyze, and modify your Author Content for the sole purpose of:
You retain all copyright and ownership of your original Author Content. CoAuthor owns the underlying software, platform, and AI models that power the Author AI Agent.
You represent and warrant that you own all necessary rights to the Author Content you provide and that granting us this license does not violate any third-party rights.
You understand that the Author AI Agent's outputs are generative and based on patterns in your work. CoAuthor does not guarantee the absolute accuracy or completeness of its feedback to Readers.
CoAuthor will pay you a percentage of the net revenue received from Readers who subscribe specifically to access your Author AI Agent. The specific revenue share percentage, payment thresholds, and payment schedules are detailed in a separate Dashboard within your author account and may be updated by CoAuthor with prior notice to you.
We process your Author Content strictly to create and operate your Author AI Agent. We do not use your Author Content to train general-purpose AI models for other authors or for any purpose unrelated to your specific Author AI Agent. Your data is siloed for your Agent's use only.
We may provide you with aggregated, anonymized analytics about your Readers' overall interaction with your Author AI Agent (e.g., total feedback sessions). We will never share individual Reader data or their private notebook contents with you without their explicit consent.
CoAuthor provides the platform and technology as a tool. You are solely responsible for ensuring the Author Content you upload does not infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, and that it complies with all applicable laws. CoAuthor is not liable for any claims arising from the content of your Author AI Agent's outputs or its interactions with Readers.
