How persay works
Three steps to a conversation with any creator on persay.
Browse creators
Browse the creators on persay. Each one has an AI trained on their real work: books, podcasts, videos, articles. Pick someone whose ideas you want to explore.
Every persona is reviewed and approved by the creator before going live. You will always know you are talking to an AI (we make that clear on every page).
Start chatting
Ask anything the creator has covered. The AI draws on their actual corpus to answer in their voice, with inline citations so you can trace every claim back to its source.
Your first answer is free (Mode A creators). No account required to start. Just pick a creator and ask your question.
Subscribe for unlimited access
When you are ready for more, subscribe to a creator to unlock unlimited messages. Pricing is set by each creator, ranging from $4.99 to $49.99 per month.
Your subscription directly supports the creator. They keep 75% after payment processing fees. You can also grab message packs or voice packs without a subscription. Subscribing may also bring the occasional email update from the creator, sent through persay: your address is never shared with them, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
What makes persay different
Trained on real content
Not generic AI. Setup begins with a research pass that finds what looks like the creator's public work and proposes each source with its evidence. The creator approves every piece, so each persona is built from their actual corpus, capturing their perspective and style.
Inline citations
Every response includes references to the original source material so you can verify and dive deeper.
Creator-controlled
Creators decide which topics their persona covers, set topic boundaries, and approve every version before it goes live. Coaching continues after launch: creators can rewrite answers they would have said differently, and a coached version only replaces the live one once they approve it.
Always transparent
Every page clearly labels the conversation as AI-generated. Each chat also tells you before your first message whether the creator keeps transcripts open to coach their AI or runs fully private. Creators only ever see fans under a pseudonym, and your stored memory is never visible to them in either mode.
