GuardedForge provides AI-powered Socratic coaching for fiction writers. You agree to use the service only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use and enjoyment of GuardedForge.
You retain full ownership of all intellectual property rights in your creative content (e.g., passages, conversation text) that you provide to GuardedForge. We do NOT store your content on our servers. We do NOT use your content to train our AI models. Your content is processed in temporary memory for the duration of the interaction and then discarded.
Flaime, our AI coach, is designed to provide guidance and stimulate critical thinking. It is an AI and may generate responses that are not perfect, complete, or accurate. Its advice is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be taken as professional literary, legal, or any other type of advice. Use your own judgment and discretion. The AI is non-generative for your creative content; it will not write for you.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account details and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when registering.
GuardedForge offers a free tier with limited usage. Access to additional features or higher usage limits requires a paid subscription or membership (e.g., Founders Club). We reserve the right to modify free tier limits or pricing at any time.
We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms of Service.
