FAQs
What is the 'bring-your-own-key' model for Machined?
Machined operates on a 'bring-your-own-key' model, meaning users provide their own OpenAI API keys. This allows for unrestricted access and cost-effective usage, as users pay Machined for software access and OpenAI directly for their AI token consumption. This model helps keep Machined's operating costs low.
Does Machined offer a free trial?
Machined does not offer a traditional free trial but provides a Free Plan that allows users to create up to 10 articles per month. This plan includes the AI Content Writer with model choice and multiple writing styles, enabling users to thoroughly test the content generation capabilities before committing to a paid plan.
How does Machined handle AI content detection?
Machined focuses on creating high-quality, valuable content rather than trying to bypass AI detectors, as these tools are often unreliable and constantly changing. Google and Bing do not penalize content solely for being AI-generated; the emphasis is on quality and value to the reader. Users are encouraged to add unique value to AI-generated content.
Can Machined publish directly to my website?
Yes, Machined offers native integrations for one-click publishing to WordPress and Webflow. It also supports connections to other platforms via webhooks, including Zapier, Make, and n8n. Users can bulk publish entire content clusters and automatically include featured images and meta descriptions.
What is the average cost to generate an article using Machined?
The cost per article varies based on the AI model, article length, and features used. On average, articles cost approximately $0.01-$0.10 with GPT-4o mini and $0.10-$0.40 with GPT-4o. Costs may be higher if features like Research, Humanizer, or AI images are enabled, as these are paid directly to OpenAI.
