Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to the most important questions about Data Levee. We cover everything from what Data Levee is, to how it helps you write drafts, our pricing, and how connecting your OpenAI account works to keep your data private and under your control.
What is Data Levee?
Data Levee is a privacy-first desktop assistant that helps remote workers and new hires organize messy notes into clear, professional, company-safe communication. Rather than relying on open-ended AI chat, it guides you through structured workflows that help you understand what needs to be said and turn your thoughts into confident drafts.
How does pricing work?
You can choose between: $19/month (includes a 7-day free trial, cancel anytime) or $79 lifetime (one-time payment). Both options include full access to the core workflow features.
Does Data Levee require an OpenAI API key?
Yes. Data Levee uses your own OpenAI API key for AI responses. You control usage and can set spending limits directly in your OpenAI account. “Most users spend only a small amount per month depending on usage, and you can set hard spending limits at any time.”Data Levee provides step-by-step guidance for creating and adding your API key.
How does Data Levee turn my notes into professional drafts?
Data Levee uses structured workflows to help you craft clear and professional updates without guessing. It guides you through the process, ensuring all necessary details are included for company-safe communication.
What is “company-safe mode” and how does it prevent guessing?
Company-Safe Mode is a core feature designed to prevent oversharing or making assumptions. Instead of open-ended chat, Data Levee prompts you for specific, relevant information, Data Levee processes AI requests directly through your API key. We do not store or log your company’s data.
Why do I need my own OpenAI API key?
Using your own OpenAI API key puts you in control. Data Levee does not store or log your drafts. You manage spending, limits, and access directly in your OpenAI account.
How do I create an API key and connect it?
Data Levee provides clear, step-by-step guidance within the app to help you create an OpenAI API key and seamlessly connect it. The process is designed to be straightforward, even for those new to API keys.
Can I set spending limits and revoke access anytime?
Yes, absolutely. Since Data Levee connects to your own OpenAI account, you can set spending limits directly within your OpenAI account. You also have full control to revoke Data Levee's access to your key at any time, giving you complete oversight of your AI usage.
When does the 7-day trial start and when am I charged?
Your 7-day free trial begins immediately upon signing up for the monthly plan. You will not be charged until the trial period has concluded.
Can I cancel before the trial ends to avoid being billed?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any point during the 7-day free trial. If you cancel before the trial ends, you will not be charged.
What happens after I cancel?
Upon cancellation, your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle (or trial period). After that, you will lose access to Data Levee's core features.
Are there refunds after the trial or lifetime purchase?
For monthly subscriptions, refunds are generally not offered after the free trial period ends. For lifetime purchases, refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you experience a problem with your purchase, please contact support and we will work to resolve the issue.
Does the subscription include updates?
Yes, both the monthly and lifetime plans include all future updates and enhancements to Data Levee's core workflow features.
Is the OpenAI API cost included in the $19/month?
No. Data Levee uses your own OpenAI API key, which means you control your AI usage and billing directly through your OpenAI account.
For most users, the cost of generating drafts and summaries is very small because AI requests typically use only a small amount of tokens per message. This allows you to keep full control over your usage rather than paying a higher fixed subscription for AI access.
