AskSami terms

1. Who you are dealing with

AskSami is run by Ancestorii Ltd, a company registered in the UK, trading as AskSami. Receipts say ASKSAMI.APP. Questions go to support@asksami.app.

2. What AskSami does, and what it does not

Sami reads your product and tells you, plainly, why it does or does not sell and what to do next. To do that:

• Sami reads your repository through a GitHub App you install, and AskSami only ever asks that App for read access.
• Sami opens the files you give it access to: files in the repository you pick, and files in the folder you run the terminal command in (the whole git repository, when that folder is part of one).
• Sami reads your live site and the files and links you give it. When a question needs it, Sami also searches the web and reads public pages.

And what it never does:

• AskSami never writes to your code. When the fix is code, Sami writes instructions for you to run in your own coding tool.
• AskSami never posts anywhere for you.
• AskSami never spends your money. Sami may suggest a paid test, and whether to buy it is up to you.
• Sami’s memory of your product is never deleted by Sami. A correction is added and the old record kept, and the memory goes only when the account is deleted.

3. Plans and credits

Every plan is a monthly subscription in US dollars, paid through Stripe. You pay before Sami reads your code, your site or the files you give it.

• Starter. $20 per month. 1 project.
• Growth. $100 per month. 2 projects, AskSami in your terminal and one more person in your account.
• Max. $240 per month. 5 projects, AskSami in your terminal and one more person in your account.

Each plan comes with a monthly allowance of use, shared by every project and every person on the account. It resets on your billing date, and whatever is left does not roll over. Some of Sami’s work runs without you pressing anything, such as reading your code again after you push and writing your morning brief. That uses the allowance too.

Credits are extra use. The account owner buys them when they choose, in any amount from $10. Credits never expire, and they are used only once the month’s allowance is spent. The owner sets a monthly top up limit on the Account page. It starts at $100, and a top up that would take a billing period past it is refused.

Nothing is charged automatically beyond your plan. Credits are only bought when you buy them.

4. Cancelling

The account owner can cancel any time from Billing on the Account page. The plan then stops at the end of the period you have paid for, and everything works as before until that day.

If you still have credits when the period ends, the account keeps working on the same plan until they run out.

Once the period has ended and no credits are left, the account is read only. You can still sign in and read everything Sami found, but you cannot chat with Sami, start a read, get a morning brief, use the terminal or invite anyone. Events and payments your own product sends to AskSami are still recorded.

Buying credits or reopening the plan opens it again. Reopening starts a new monthly subscription from that day, and your projects, Sami’s memory and your credits are still there.

5. Refunds

Time already used is not refunded. When you cancel, your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and nothing more is charged.

If you delete your account, the plan stops that day and any credits left are deleted with the account. Neither the rest of that period nor those credits are refunded. The Privacy page says what deleting removes.

6. Sami gives advice

Sami is an AI assistant. It gives advice from what it has read, and it can be wrong. What you decide, build and spend is your call, and so are the results.

7. People you invite

On Growth and Max the account owner can invite one more person. The invitation link works once, for one hour, and only for the address it was sent to.

The person you invite works in your account as you do. They see your projects, everything Sami found and remembers, and your chats, and what they do uses your allowance and then your credits. They see which plan the account is on and how much allowance and credit is left, but they cannot see your card or receipts, change billing, buy credits, invite anyone or add a project. What they write stays in your account’s chats. You can remove them at any time, and they can leave.

8. The terminal command

On Growth and Max, npx asksami opens your chat with Sami in a terminal. It reads the folder you run it in, or the whole git repository when that folder is part of one, and never writes to it. The only file it keeps is its own settings file in your home folder, which holds your terminal token. It will not open in your home folder itself.

• With each message it sends the folder’s name (never where it is on your computer), its git branch, its latest commit, how many files have changes, the address of its origin remote, and the names of up to 5,000 of its files.
• It sends the text of a file, or your changes since Sami last read your code, when you use /read or /diff and when Sami asks for one. When Sami asks, it sends straight away without asking you, and prints a line naming what it sent. /attach sends the screenshots and export files you name, from anywhere on your computer, up to 20 with one message, and a pattern such as *.csv names every file in that folder that matches it, unless a name marks it as a secrets file.
• It never sends files that hold secrets by their nature, such as .env files, private keys and credential files. It never lists or reads anything git ignores, except a file you name yourself with /attach. Other files are sent as they are, and AskSami blanks anything in them that looks like a key or a password before keeping them.
• Every answer in the terminal uses your allowance, as it does on the platform. Nothing runs on your own Claude, Codex or other AI subscription.

9. Fair use

An account is for one person, plus the people your plan lets you invite. Do not share your sign in or your terminal token with anyone else.
