# FAQ

> Answers to the questions people ask before and after signing up.

## Getting Started

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need to connect any external tools before I can generate content?">
    No. You can generate content immediately after signing up. Publishing platform connections and brand voice configuration are optional and can be added later.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long does generation take?">
    Most generations complete in 90 seconds to 4 minutes. Blog articles and social campaigns are on the faster end. Research papers, technical documentation, and screenplays take longer due to depth and length requirements.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a free plan?">
    WriterzRoom does not offer a free plan. The Demo plan is a $9.99 one-time evaluation option with 7-day access, including 4 Quick generations and 1 Standard generation. The $9.99 applies as credit toward your first subscription.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do credits work?">
    Plans are sized by generation capacity. Quick uses 2 credits, Standard uses 8 credits, and Premium uses 10 credits. Demo includes 4 Quick generations and 1 Standard generation. Starter supports 100 Quick or 25 Standard generations/mo. Professional supports 250 Quick or 62 Standard generations/mo. Enterprise supports 400 Quick, 100 Standard, or 80 Premium generations/mo. Annual subscribers receive full-year credits upfront. Add-on packs work on any active plan and expire after 90 days.
  </Accordion>

## Templates and Style Profiles

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between a template and a style profile?">
    A template defines **what** you're making: the structure, sections, and format. A style profile defines **how** it should be written: tone, voice, depth, and formality. You always need both to generate content.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use any style profile with any template?">
    Technically yes, but not all combinations make sense. A TV Premium Drama profile applied to a Market Analysis template will produce strange output. Use the recommended pairings in the Templates and Style Profiles pages as a starting point.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many templates and style profiles are there?">
    WriterzRoom includes a growing library of templates and style profiles. The full list is in the Templates and Style Profiles sections of this documentation.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Generation Quality

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The draft is good overall but one section is weak. Do I have to regenerate everything?">
    No. Use section regeneration in the Content Library. Select the section, trigger regeneration, and only that section is reprocessed. The rest of the draft is unchanged.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How can I get better quality output?">
    The single biggest quality lever is input specificity. Vague inputs produce generic output. Define your audience precisely, state your objective clearly, list specific points to cover, and note anything to avoid.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does WriterzRoom use real-time research?">
    Yes. Supported generations can use current research and source discovery to provide citations and supporting evidence. Always verify citations before publishing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I provide my own research or source material?">
    Yes. Include source material, data points, and reference URLs in the input fields. The generation workflow can incorporate them and supplement with research where applicable.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Brand Voice

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What kind of content should I upload for brand voice analysis?">
    Upload 3–5 pieces that represent how you communicate today, such as blog posts, email newsletters, LinkedIn articles, or content you've personally written or approved. The analysis reflects the patterns that actually exist, not aspirational ones.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How often should I update my brand voice profile?">
    Update it when your communication style evolves, such as after a rebrand, significant audience feedback, or a shift in your preferred style. There's no fixed schedule.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Publishing

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I publish to multiple platforms at once?">
    Not simultaneously in one action, but you can publish to multiple platforms sequentially from the same draft.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my publishing credentials expire?">
    WriterzRoom will surface an authentication error when you attempt to publish. Re-authenticate via Settings → Publishing and reconnect the affected platform.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## API

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is the API available on all plans?">
    API access requires the Professional plan or above. Starter plan users do not have API key generation access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is generation via API synchronous?">
    No. Always submit a generation request and poll the status endpoint until the generation is complete. Do not assume the POST /generate response contains the final content. It returns a `request_id` for polling.
  </Accordion>
