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 sovereign Canadian backend, 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+ ($20 a month or $200 a year, 7-day free trial) removes the daily limits, including the Studio render cap. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

How do I scan my wardrobe?

Tap the plus button on the wardrobe tab, choose Scan Item, and photograph a garment on a plain background. The recognition model auto-tags category, colour, and silhouette. You can edit any tag before saving.

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. Encrypted backups age out on a fixed schedule.

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 secure checkout. You manage everything in the app.

How do I upgrade my plan?

Profile, Settings, Subscription. Pick monthly or yearly. Payment runs through Stripe secure checkout, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

How do refunds work?

Subscriptions are 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. If you ever subscribe through the App Store in a future release, Apple processes those 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. The model is robust to wrinkles and folds.

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 the import icon on the scan 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?

The model reads your wardrobe, your style Taste, the local weather, and the next event on your calendar (if you opted in). It composes one or three outfits in a few seconds.

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. Open an outfit, tap Share. You can export the outfit as an image and share it anywhere.

Privacy and AI

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

Where does my data live?

On servers physically in Canada, racked at OVHcloud Beauharnois, Quebec, on infrastructure operated by BrandsAI under PulsarOS Intelligence Inc. governance. Encrypted backups stay on Canadian soil only. When you use an AI feature, the request is processed by vetted AI providers under contracts that prohibit using your content for training; that request data may be processed outside Canada for the duration of the request only, the one exception 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 our own foundation models on your content unless you explicitly opt in.

Are my photos encrypted?

In transit with TLS 1.3, at rest with AES-256-GCM, with hardware-bound key custody on the server side. 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.
