Pay per piece. No subscription.
Article Studio draws your Ounie credits — the same wallet every Ounie app shares. One credit is one cent. You pay for writing; everything you do with the writing afterwards is free.
Article The full piece: outline, sections with inline citations, pull quote, optional FAQ, and the SEO pack. | 15 credits |
Outline Headline, sections, which of your pages each one rests on, and the gaps — before you commit. | 3 credits |
Rewrite one section Re-reads your brain live and replaces that section. The rest of the article is untouched. | 2 credits |
Read, re-read, export Markdown, HTML or JSON, as often as you like. | free |
Share or revoke a preview A public, noindex link an editor can open without an account. | free |
Edit by hand Your words are yours. Editing has never cost anything here. | free |
Nothing named your subject Retrieval always returns something. When none of it actually names what you asked about, there is no article to sell you — the reserve comes back to the exact pools it came from. | refunded in full |
Same price at any length. What varies is how much of your material the piece has room to use — which is why a long article from a thin brain is more likely to be refused, not padded.
POST /api/x402/article takes your own source_text and quotes the price in the 402 — USDC on Base, computed from the same table at 1.2×. The premium covers the one thing an account gives you and a wallet cannot: a refund. Everything a refund would have caught is checked before the payment settles instead.
Credits are shared across every Ounie app. Studio, Team and Enterprise plans include a monthly allowance that is spent first.
The things people ask first
What stops it writing a confident article about the wrong thing?
A topic anchor that runs before the model. Semantic search always returns neighbours — ask a brain about a subject it has no coverage of and it still hands back its nearest pages. Article Studio drops every retrieved page that does not actually name your subject, and if nothing survives it refuses and refunds. Checking that citations resolve is not enough: a citation guard cannot see relevance.
So a cited article can still be wrong?
A badly built one can, and that is the whole point of the three guards here. Relevance is checked before the model runs; any citation to a page that was not retrieved is deleted from the prose; and the finished piece has to lean on a reasonable spread of your sources rather than one or two. A draft that fails the third check reads perfectly and is still grounded in a sliver of your material, so it is treated as thin and not billed.
What is in gaps?
What your sources do not cover. Some of it is computed — subject words no surviving page ever named — and the rest is what the writer wanted to say and could not support. It is the deliverable, not an apology: naming a hole is more useful than filling it with something plausible.
What does it cost?
15 Ounie credits for a full article, 3 for an outline on its own, 2 to regenerate one section. A credit is one cent, drawn from the same Ounie wallet every app shares. Reading, exporting and sharing are free forever. There is no subscription.
Do I get charged if it refuses?
No. A refusal is either free before anything is reserved — a subject with no anchorable words, or the engine being unavailable — or a full pool-exact refund after the reserve. On the keyless x402 rail there is no refund possible, so the same checks run before the payment settles instead.
Can an agent use this without an Ounie account?
Yes. POST /api/x402/article with your own source_text and pay per call in USDC on Base. Same writer, same guards, same output shape — the brain is only ever the source of the text. Grounding in a private Ounie brain needs an account, because that is somebody's private knowledge.
Is my brain content stored here?
No. Article Studio keeps the words the writer produced plus a pointer — brain id and page slug — to each source it cited. Regenerating a section re-reads your brain live rather than replaying a stored copy, so a section written today reflects what your brain says today.
What are the internal links, exactly?
Suggested anchor text plus the brain page behind it. We do not know the URLs on your site and will not invent them, so it is a mapping job you finish in a minute — deliberately honest about being a suggestion rather than a link.
