Getting started

Open the app, sign in, scan a few pieces, the planner works.

How do I create an account?

BrandsAI is in private beta. When your wave opens, create your account with your email and a password. Authentication is built in-house on our own backend in Canada, with scrypt-hardened credentials.

Which devices are supported?

BrandsAI runs as a private beta on iPhone (iOS 17 and newer). There is no Android app and no web version.

Is BrandsAI free to use?

Yes. Brands Access is free and includes up to 50 wardrobe items, Brands Social, three Brands Studio renders a day, and a daily allowance of Stylist conversations and photo scans. Brands+ (US$20 a month or US$200 a year on brandsai.ca, 7-day free trial) lifts the wardrobe cap and raises every daily allowance, Studio renders to 200 a day. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

How do I scan my wardrobe?

Open Scan Items, then Live Scan to take a photo or Import Gallery to choose one. Brands finds each piece, you choose which to keep, and each piece is catalogued with its category, colour, cut, condition and an estimated resale value.

Account and profile

Account changes live in the app, under Profile, Settings.

How do I change my email address?

Your account is tied to the email you signed up with. To change it, write to privacy@brandsai.ca and we will help.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: Profile, Settings, Delete Account. Deletion is immediate and permanent: your content and personal information are erased from production at the moment you confirm, and your subscription is cancelled. Copies in backups taken before your deletion are removed when those backups are deleted.

Can I export my data?

Yes. In the app, go to Profile, Settings, Data Export. It opens an email to our Privacy Officer, who prepares and sends you a complete machine-readable export of the personal data we hold on you.

Billing and refunds

Subscriptions run through Stripe on brandsai.ca. When the app is on the App Store, it will also sell Brands+ through Apple. You manage everything in the app.

How do I upgrade my plan?

Profile, Settings, Subscription. Pick monthly or yearly. On brandsai.ca, Brands+ runs through Stripe secure checkout in US dollars, with a 7-day free trial. When the iOS application is on the App Store, it will also be sold there at the App Store price for your country.

How do refunds work?

A subscription bought on brandsai.ca is billed through Stripe. We honour every refund right granted by your local consumer protection law: write to billing@brandsai.ca and a human will sort it out. Once Brands+ is sold in the iOS application, a subscription bought there is billed by Apple, and Apple handles its refunds under its policy.

How do I cancel?

In the app: Profile, Settings, Subscription, Cancel. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle and you keep paid features until then.

Scanning tips

Better photos make better tags. The model is forgiving, but a few habits help.

How do I get the best scan quality?

Plain background, even light, garment centred in frame, no glare. Hangers and flat lays both work. Or take one photo of an outfit: Brands finds each piece in it.

Why did the scan tag the wrong colour?

Phone cameras white-balance aggressively under indoor light. Tap the colour chip to correct it before saving, your wardrobe stays accurate.

Can I import photos from my library?

Yes. Tap Import Gallery on the Add your look sheet. We only access the photos you select, not the rest of your library. iOS shows you the limited picker.

Outfit Planner

The planner only suggests pieces in your wardrobe. It will not push you to buy anything.

How does outfit generation work?

It reads your wardrobe and the local weather, and builds a look from your own pieces in a few seconds; keep a piece or skip it.

Why are some pieces not suggested?

Pieces below the season threshold (heavy winter coat in July), pieces tagged as out of rotation, or pieces that conflict with the chosen occasion. You can override any of these in the planner sheet.

Can I share an outfit?

Yes. Post it to Brands Social from the look.

Privacy and AI

Hosted in Canada. Your content is never sold and never used for ads.

Where does my data live?

On a server in Canada, in OVHcloud's Beauharnois, Quebec data centre, operated by BrandsAI under PulsarOS Intelligence Inc. When you use an AI feature, the request goes through our server to an external AI provider, under contracts that prohibit using your content for training; those providers may process the request outside Canada, including in the United States, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Do you train AI models on my photos?

No. We do not use your photos, prompts, or content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any third-party AI model. We do not train models on your content.

Are my photos encrypted?

In transit, with TLS. The full posture is documented in our Privacy Policy.

Troubleshooting

First aid for the common surprises.

The app is not responding

Force-quit (swipe up the app card from the home screen), reopen. If it still fails, restart the iPhone. If it still fails, write to support@brandsai.ca with your iPhone model and iOS version.

The scan keeps failing

Check that the photo library or camera permission is enabled in iOS Settings, BrandsAI, Photos / Camera. Switch to Selected Photos if you want to keep the limit tight.

I forgot my password

Password resets run through support: write to support@brandsai.ca from the email on your account and we will verify you and reset it. Email verification is optional by design in the beta.
