Frequently Asked Questions
Questions coaches actually ask us, grouped by what you're trying to work out. If yours isn't here, a founder will answer it directly - hello@meetaiyou.com.
The basics
What is an AI Twin?
An AI Twin is a system trained on one person's frameworks, reasoning, and voice, so their expertise can reach people when they can't be there personally. For a coach, that means clients get your specific methodology applied to their situation, in your voice, at the moment they need it rather than at their next scheduled session.
What's the difference between an AI Twin, a digital twin, and an AI clone?
In practice, nothing - for coaches they mean the same thing. The terms come from different places. "Digital twin" started in engineering, describing virtual replicas of machines, and got borrowed for people. "AI twin" and "AI clone" describe a replica of a person's knowledge and communication style. We use AI Twin and Digital Twin interchangeably.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT knows coaching in general - the averaged wisdom of everything published on the subject. Your Twin knows your methodology specifically, and draws only from your work. Ask both the same question and ChatGPT gives you the internet's consensus answer. Your Twin gives the answer you would have given.
Is this a support bot?
No, and the distinction matters commercially. A support bot answers on behalf of a business from scripted flows. Your Twin answers as you, applying your frameworks to a specific person's situation. If your clients experience it as customer service, something has gone wrong in the build.
Who is an AI Twin actually for?
Established coaches, consultants, and experts whose expertise is the product - typically people charging premium rates who are at or near capacity. The common signal is that the same questions keep arriving from different clients, and growth means either working more hours or diluting what you deliver.
Who is it not for?
People still building their methodology, anyone wanting a cheap self-serve support tool, and coaches who aren't yet at capacity. If you have room in your calendar, you probably don't need this yet. We'd rather tell you that on a call than take a build you don't need.
How it's built
How long does it take to build?
About a week. The build uses content you already have - recordings, talks, writing, frameworks. The heavy lifting is ours. What we need from you is your existing material and your judgment at a few review points.
What do you need from me?
Your existing content, and a few hours across the week for review. You don't write anything new. Most of what we need already exists as recorded sessions, talks, articles, or course material - it just hasn't been organised as a methodology before.
What content works best?
Recordings, first. Sessions, talks, workshops, podcast appearances - anything that captures you doing the work rather than describing it. After that: writing, frameworks, course material, and the ten or twenty questions clients ask you most often. Those questions are the sharpest signal of what your Twin needs to handle on day one.
What if I don't have much content?
A focused set of strong material beats a large archive of off-the-cuff content. If you've been working seriously for a few years, you almost certainly have enough. If you genuinely don't, we'll say so - the IP Readiness Quiz gives you an honest answer in three minutes.
What if my methodology isn't written down?
Most aren't. The build process is what forces the articulation, and it's the part coaches tell us was worth it on its own. You discover you've been operating on frameworks you never named.
Can I review it before my clients see it?
Yes, and it doesn't go live until you do. You test it against the questions your clients actually ask, and it ships when you confirm it reasons and sounds like you. If a provider won't let you reject before launch, walk away from that provider.
Can I change it after it's built?
Yes. You get a control panel where you add and remove knowledge, monitor the conversations your clients are having, and see engagement statistics. Add a new framework, retire an outdated one, upload a recent talk. You're never stuck with the version we shipped.
Accuracy and fidelity
Will it actually sound like me?
That's the whole product, and it's the reason we don't ship early. Your Twin is built on your own voice and content. The standard we hold is that people who know you can't reliably tell the difference. Something that sounds approximately like you is worse than nothing - it quietly costs you the trust you spent years building.
What if it gives an answer that's wrong?
Your Twin draws only from your work, never the open internet, which removes most of the ways generic AI goes wrong. When a question falls outside what you've addressed, it reasons from your documented frameworks or says it doesn't know. You can review conversations in your control panel and correct the underlying content.
Does it only use my content, or the whole internet?
Only yours. This is a deliberate architectural choice called a closed corpus, and it's what keeps a Twin faithful. Ray Dalio described the same approach when asked how his AI avoids making things up - it only goes to his work. An AI with nowhere else to draw from can't confidently misrepresent you.
Can it handle everything I coach on, or just one area?
It handles your full range, because your material is structured in four layers rather than dumped in flat: your foundational principles, your domain expertise, your frameworks, and your personal nuance. That layering is what lets a Twin move across topics without going shallow in all of them.
Will it drift away from how I actually think over time?
It can, if nobody watches for it. AI systems drift toward confident, generalised answers because that's what users respond well to - while experts answer with conditions and exceptions. Every build includes quarterly fidelity audits where we check real outputs against your documented methodology and correct the drift.
Your clients
How do my clients reach it?
Your Twin embeds on your own website or app. Clients reach it where they already engage with you, not by logging into a third-party platform with someone else's branding on it.
Will my clients know they're talking to AI?
Yes, and they should. We don't build anything designed to deceive. What makes it valuable isn't that clients think it's you live - it's that the thinking is genuinely yours, available at 11pm on a Tuesday when their next session is Friday.
Won't this make my coaching feel less personal?
Usually the opposite. Right now your clients are alone for the 167 hours a week they don't have you, and many quietly ask generic AI for help in that gap. A Twin means they get your thinking in those moments instead of the internet's average advice. The deep human work stays human.
What happens when a client asks something genuinely sensitive?
Your Twin is built to recognise those moments and point the client back to a live conversation with you rather than over-reaching. You define where that line sits during the build. It handles the between-session questions; you handle the ones that need you.
Ownership and data
Who owns my content and my voice?
You do, at every stage. Building your Twin transfers nothing to us. Your frameworks, your recordings, and your voice remain yours, and you can export your material at any time.
Do you use my content to train other models?
No. Your content and voice build your Twin and nothing else - never a shared model, never a public model, never another coach's Twin. We're custodians of your expertise, not owners of it.
Can my clients download my frameworks or source material?
No. Your knowledge base is private. Clients experience your Twin's guidance, but they can't extract or download what's underneath it.
Can I host it on my own infrastructure?
Yes, for enterprise customers. Self-hosting puts your Twin on your own servers, with your own encryption and retention policy, and nothing leaves your environment. For most individual coaches the hosted version is the right fit. For organisations with strict data requirements, self-hosting is the answer.
What happens to my data if I stop working with you?
You export your content, and your data is removed according to our retention policy - deleted within 7 working days of account closure. You keep ownership throughout.
How is my data protected?
Your data is encrypted in transit, and any files you upload are stored encrypted in Amazon S3. Access is limited to the people working on your build. If your requirements go beyond that, self-hosting puts everything on your own infrastructure under your own controls.
Where is my data stored?
On AWS in the Mumbai region, in India. Uploaded files are stored encrypted in S3 in the same region. If you need your data held in a specific jurisdiction, self-hosting for enterprise customers lets you choose your own.
Are you SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
Not yet. Both are in progress and neither is complete, and we'd rather say that plainly than imply otherwise. What's in place today: encryption in transit, encrypted file storage in S3, and AWS infrastructure in Mumbai. If your organisation requires a completed certification before it can work with a vendor, we're not there yet - tell us and we'll let you know when we are.
What we don't do
This section is a differentiator, not an apology.
Do you have an API?
No. There's no public API or webhooks, so you can't wire your Twin programmatically into other systems. If you need deep custom integration with an existing product stack, we're not the right fit today.
Does it work in multiple languages?
No. Your Twin operates in the language it was trained in. If your practice runs across several languages, that's a real limitation and worth weighing before you start.
Is there a marketplace where clients can find my Twin?
No. We don't list Twins in a directory or take a cut of interactions. Your Twin lives on your site, under your brand, serving your clients.
Why tell me what you can't do?
Because you'd find out in week one anyway, and we'd rather lose a build than deliver a disappointment. The three gaps above are the ones that occasionally make Aiyou the wrong choice. Everything else we'll show you on a call.
Getting started
What does it cost?
Plans start at $299 a month, and there are three of them depending on how you deploy your Twin and how much you use it. Your first month is free, and we work out which plan fits in a one-to-one session at the end of it - so you know what your Twin is actually worth to you before you pay for it.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, a full month. Your Twin gets built and you use it with real clients for thirty days at no cost. At the end we sit down one-to-one, look at what actually happened, and work out which plan fits. No card required to start.
How do I know if I'm ready?
Take the IP Readiness Quiz - eight questions, three minutes. It scores how documented your frameworks are, how much content you have, and whether now is the right moment. Some practices are ready today. Some need to capture more material first.
What's the first step?
A 30-minute call with a founder. We look at your methodology, show you how your Twin would work, and give you an honest fit assessment. If it's not right for you, we'll say so. Book a demo →
