Question 1

What is Rkive AI?

Accepted Answer

Rkive AI is an applied research company building the AI-native operating system for brands and teams. We research continuity models, autonomous experimentation, and multimodal reasoning — and ship what we build into four surfaces: Studio (content), Comms (conversations), HQ (strategy), and Base (workspace). All four share one intelligence. One subscription, one AI.

Question 2

What makes Rkive different from other AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Rkive is a research lab, not a wrapper on someone else’s API. We introduced Continuity Models as our research paradigm — models and systems that maintain temporal, logical, and operational continuity. The term has a double meaning: temporal continuity as the mechanism, logical continuity as the outcome. That research feeds directly into our products through a shared inference stack, so the AI genuinely improves over time.

Question 3

Who is Rkive for?

Accepted Answer

Brands, creators, and lean teams who want to operate at full scale without the overhead. Rkive is one intelligence across four environments — content, conversations, strategy, workspace — all sharing the same reasoning. You describe what you want done; it executes across whichever surface the task demands.

Question 4

What are time models and continuity models?

Accepted Answer

Models that reason forward instead of resetting at every prompt. Time models is the accessible term; Continuity Models is the formal research paradigm. Both refer to systems designed for temporal continuity — maintaining coherent reasoning across sequences, sessions, and long-running workflows. We believe temporal continuity is the mechanism; logical continuity is the result.

Question 5

How does this research show up in the products today?

Accepted Answer

All four environments run on the same continuity stack. In Studio, it supports long-horizon creative decisions across editing, captioning, scheduling, and analytics. In Comms, it tracks conversation context and sentiment across channels over time. In HQ, it synthesizes signals from metrics, execution history, and external data into strategic recommendations. In Base, it powers continuity agents that maintain continuous attention and reasoning across files, documents, code, and tasks.

Question 6

Are Continuity Models only about models, or also systems?

Accepted Answer

Both. At Rkive, Continuity Models refers to a full production paradigm spanning model design, inference systems, and product behavior, so temporal, logical, and operational continuity stay aligned.

Question 7

What is Rkive Studio?

Accepted Answer

Rkive Studio is an AI that takes over content production end-to-end — from your camera roll to shipped, scheduled posts. It selects media, edits photos and videos, writes captions, optimizes timing, and posts across every platform. Full autopilot from raw footage, but you can intervene at any level of detail.

Question 8

How does autopilot work?

Accepted Answer

Define your content strategy in settings: tone, visual style, references, and assets. Rkive syncs your camera roll, selects relevant media, creates finished posts that match your strategy, and notifies you when a batch is ready. Double-tap to schedule at an AI-suggested optimal time, or open any draft in editing to refine it.

Question 9

Does it just resize content for different platforms?

Accepted Answer

No. It re‑edits per platform. Cuts, crop logic, caption style, overlays, aspect ratio, and pacing can all differ based on each platform, and based on each account’s strategy and performance. Even two TikTok posts from the same footage look and read very differently when they get edited for two different accounts.

Question 10

Does it generate fake or synthetic images?

Accepted Answer

No. It edits, enhances, and formats what you actually shot. No deepfakes, no random stock filler. If your content strategy requests infographics or designed assets, it can generate those — but the default is always your authentic media.

Question 11

Which platforms does Rkive Studio support?

Accepted Answer

Instagram (business and creator accounts), Threads, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn (profiles and pages), and Facebook (pages). Analytics are available for all connected accounts.

Question 12

What makes Rkive Studio’s analytics different?

Accepted Answer

Multimodal analysis plus a strategy feedback loop. It correlates formats, topics, tone, visual traits, and timing with actual performance to surface actionable levers — not just vanity metrics. The insights feed back into your content strategy automatically, and the data is available to the chatbot so you can deep‑dive conversationally to understand how your content is performing.

Question 13

What is vibe-editing?

Accepted Answer

Vibe-editing is to media what vibe-coding is to software: you describe your intent and the AI handles the technical execution. In Rkive Studio, you say what you want — ‘warmer tones, faster cuts, more ironic caption’ — and the AI edits photos, videos, captions, and scheduling accordingly. No timelines, no sliders, no export settings. Just describe the vibe, and Studio delivers.

Question 14

What is Rkive Comms?

Accepted Answer

Rkive Comms is an intelligence that reads your inboxes, DMs, and outreach threads with full context of your goals and relationships. It drafts, sends, follows up, and keeps conversations moving — across email, social media, and messaging. Threads are grouped by contact, not by channel, so context is never lost across platforms.

Question 15

Which channels does Comms support?

Accepted Answer

Email, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, X (Twitter) DMs, LinkedIn messages, and social media comments. New integrations ship regularly.

Question 16

How does sentiment tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Comms analyzes conversation tone and engagement across all channels and assigns warmth levels — cold, neutral, warm, hot — to every contact. You see trends over time and know exactly where to invest attention.

Question 17

Can AI draft replies for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Comms drafts context-aware replies based on conversation history, tone, and your communication style. You review, edit if needed, and send. Nothing goes out without your approval.

Question 18

What is Rkive HQ?

Accepted Answer

Rkive HQ is an intelligence that watches your company — KPIs, financials, market signals, competitors, and execution history — and tells you what to do next. It sets severity levels, proposes strategic pivots with confidence scores, and keeps goals and tasks aligned. You approve, override, or steer.

Question 19

How does HQ help with decision-making?

Accepted Answer

HQ synthesizes data from all connected sources — your other Rkive products, external APIs, financial data, and performance metrics — and presents strategic recommendations ranked by impact and confidence. You approve, delegate, or override.

Question 20

Can HQ manage finances?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HQ connects to Wise, Revolut, Stripe, and more. It tracks budgets, expenses, revenue, and financial goals in one dashboard. AI monitors trends and flags anomalies so you can make informed financial decisions without manual spreadsheet work.

Question 21

Does HQ integrate with Studio and Comms?

Accepted Answer

Fully. HQ sees content performance from Studio, communication engagement from Comms, and development progress from Base. All four products share one continuity stack, so HQ’s strategic view is always current.

Question 22

What is Rkive Base?

Accepted Answer

Rkive Base is an environment where AI operates across your files, documents, and code with full-context reasoning. Continuity agents see your entire project — not just the open file — and execute tasks proactively with your approval. Docs, slides, sheets, PDFs, and code are treated as the same thing: format is a display choice, not a constraint.

Question 23

How is Rkive Base different from other AI editors?

Accepted Answer

Most AI editors work on a single file or a single prompt. Rkive Base reasons across your entire project with the same context you have. Change a character’s appearance in chapter one, and the agents know to adapt every other chapter. It also treats docs, slides, sheets, PDFs, and code as the same thing — format is a display choice, not a constraint.

Question 24

Can I use Rkive Base for coding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Code and repositories are handled with the same full-context reasoning as any other document. Agents understand repo structure, dependencies, and history. You can tell them to tweak a program or build an entire application — they architect and execute while you control direction and approval.

Question 25

Can I use Rkive for AI computer use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rkive AI’s stack excels at computer use thanks to its native multimodal and sequential reasoning. Rkive Base is designed to enable maximum AI autonomy with guardrails — agents see, navigate, and operate across applications while you stay in control of approval and direction.

Question 26

Are continuity agents slower?

Accepted Answer

No by design. Continuity agents keep state and reasoning continuity over time, so they avoid unnecessary resets and repeated context rebuilding. That usually makes execution more efficient for real work. Latency still depends on model choice and task complexity, but continuity itself is an efficiency strategy, not a slowdown.

Question 27

What plans are available?

Accepted Answer

Rkive offers Starter, Premium, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers. Every plan includes all four environments, up to 5 social accounts, 5 comms channels, and 5 financial sources. Plans differ by seats and prompt usage. All plans include a 7-day free trial with full access. Annual billing lowers the effective monthly rate.

Question 28

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 7 days with full feature access at the Business‑tier level. Cancel anytime before it converts to a paid subscription.

Question 29

Do you offer discounts or promo codes?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally through the newsletter or social channels. Otherwise the pricing structure is transparent.

Question 30

What does “full automation” mean in the higher tiers?

Accepted Answer

Higher tiers give you more seats and more prompt capacity — the AI does more, and more people can share the workspace. Every plan includes full access to all four environments and unlimited connections. The tier controls usage volume and team size, not what you can build or connect.

Question 31

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

Encryption in transit and at rest, segregated storage, and strict access scoping. We don’t publicly reuse or sell your media.

Question 32

Does Rkive ever post without my approval?

Accepted Answer

No. Every draft requires your explicit approval before scheduling or posting. Always.

Question 33

Do you train AI models on my content?

Accepted Answer

Most of your data is only used as context for models to respond to you when you prompt them — it is not used for training. We do use some aggregated, processed and strictly de‑identified data and analytics to guide our research and improve model reasoning. This data is never sold, never shared in public datasets, and is used to empower creativity, not to replace it.

Question 34

How do I get started with Rkive?

Accepted Answer

Sign up, pick a plan, and your 7-day trial starts immediately. Connect your social accounts, messaging channels, financial sources, and file storage from a single onboarding flow. Set your strategy and goals once — all four environments draw from the same intelligence and context. One account, one subscription, one AI running your operation.
