Frequently Asked Questions

Clearvoyance is pay per campaign with no subscriptions or contracts. No Monetary Reward campaigns start at $4.99 for up to 10 participants, scaling up to $49.99 for 200 participants. Incentivized campaigns include the participant rewards you set (minimum $1.00 per person), paid in crypto into an escrow made for your campaign, plus the same flat price for its size. There is no fee on rewards: every reward cent goes to your participants, and the network cost of paying them comes out of the price. Rewards nobody claims within 30 days are returned to you automatically. There are no monthly fees or hidden costs. AI agents using the API pay the same prices from a prepaid balance, charged when the campaign launches.

Yes. Money added to a balance and not yet spent on campaigns stays there for the next one, and balances never expire. A campaign's price is charged when it launches and is not refunded. When you close your account, what is left is refunded to the card that paid, through Stripe, less the processing fee Stripe keeps. A refund never goes to a different card. Crypto is never held as a balance: unclaimed crypto rewards go straight back to the wallet that funded the campaign. Free sandbox credit is not refundable.

Here is the exact position rather than a reassuring summary. Your recording is never stored — it is transcribed and discarded, and there is no audio column in our database. Traffic is served over HTTPS, and the private keys to the wallets holding reward money are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Transcripts and campaign details sit in our database as ordinary rows, protected by our host's encryption at rest rather than a layer of our own, so we don't call it end-to-end encryption. Thirty days after a campaign completes we erase the transcripts, the AI summary, the delivery records with their addresses, and any open-link emails and anti-fraud fingerprints. Invite records survive, but they only ever held a one-way hash of an address. Email lists are never shared, sold, or used for marketing.

AI Agents are autonomous software programs that create and run campaigns on behalf of their operators, through our MCP server or the JSON API at /api/v1. An agent creates an account in one call and receives an API key — no email, no password, nothing personal is stored — tops up a prepaid balance (a person pays by card), then quotes and launches campaigns, reads the anonymous answers and the AI report, and closes them. A sandbox key runs the same API against a notional balance with nothing sent. If you just want to use Clearvoyance from Claude, you don't need any of this: add the connector at https://clearvoyance.ai/connect/mcp and sign in with your Clearvoyance account (see /connect).

With an API key. POST /api/v1/accounts (or the create_account MCP tool) returns a key once — cv_live_ for real campaigns, cv_test_ for the sandbox — and every later call carries it as a Bearer token. We store only a hash of the key, no email and no password. A person using Claude through the connector at https://clearvoyance.ai/connect/mcp signs in with their Clearvoyance account instead, and never handles a key.

No. Clearvoyance is fully private. Your campaign data and responses are shared only with you, the campaign owner. There's no public feed, no rankings, and no leaderboards.

No account required. Participants just open the invite link on their phone, answer the questions, and claim their reward (if applicable). No login, no setup, no friction.

We never show an organisation an email address beside any activity, and a response carries no link back to the person who gave it — the table has no such column. One honest caveat: invites are created in the order the organisation entered its list, so someone who remembers that order could make a positional guess about who opened a link. They cannot do the same for responses, which is the part that matters.

For a targeted campaign, responses stay locked until the share of your cohort you chose has answered — anywhere from 50% to 100%, and 50% is the floor we enforce. When it is met, everything unlocks at once. There is no separate 'minimum number of responses' setting today; the percentage is the whole rule. Open-link Market Research campaigns work differently: they unlock at five responses, or at the cap if you set it lower.

No. Audio is transcribed immediately using AI, then deleted. We keep only the transcript text, not the audio files. This reduces storage, cost, and privacy risk.

Responses stay locked and private. You see the participation count in real-time, but individual feedback remains hidden until your minimum threshold is reached. This prevents singling out respondents.

Two options: 1) Incentivized campaigns pay participants in USDC or SPL tokens on Solana—no crypto knowledge needed. Minimum reward is $1.00 per participant. 2) No Monetary Reward campaigns are perfect for teams, internal feedback, or situations where payment isn't appropriate. You can still offer a digital gift, like a promo code or a discount link, as a thank-you.

For No Monetary Reward campaigns, you can optionally include a digital gift—like a promo code, discount link, or special offer. Participants see this after submitting their feedback. It's a nice thank-you without the complexity of crypto payments.

For Incentivized campaigns, after a participant submits valid feedback, they claim their payout. They can claim with their existing Solana wallet or generate a new one. Payment is instant and not linked to their identity.

You receive an AI-generated insight report that summarizes key themes, sentiment patterns, and actionable insights from all responses. You also get full access to raw transcriptions in CSV format for deeper analysis or integration with your own tools.

Yes! Start with a free Self-Test campaign — no payment taken. You're both the creator and the respondent, using your own sign-in email, so you experience the full flow end-to-end. When you're ready, create a real campaign starting at just $4.99.

A Self-Test campaign is completely free. You sign up with your email, create the campaign, and then receive the participant invite to your own inbox — so you experience both sides of the flow. No real payments are processed and no real invites go to other people. Perfect for understanding how everything works before going live.

No. Clearvoyance works for anyone: product teams, HR departments, government agencies, healthcare providers, academic researchers, DAOs, and AI agents. Anyone who needs honest feedback safely.

The system is designed to prevent this. Responses stay grouped, individuals are never identifiable, and organisations can't see who said what. Honesty is protected by design.

Before submitting, participants can review and edit their transcript. Once submitted, the response is locked. This prevents fraud while allowing for honest corrections.

Create a campaign in minutes: sign up, add questions, choose your reward type (incentivized or no monetary reward), set your cohort size, invite, and go live. You can build an entire campaign in under 5 minutes. Or start with a free Self-Test campaign to explore the full flow at no cost.

Only if you ask. By default the list you upload is deleted as soon as every invitation has been queued. When you launch, you can tick 'Save this list to my account' to keep it as a named cohort, so you can re-survey the same people without re-entering every address. A saved cohort stays until you delete it — you can also remove one person at a time from Saved cohorts on your dashboard — and anyone who has unsubscribed is never sent to, saved or not.

Currently English. Transcription, UI, and all messaging are in English. Multi-language support is on the roadmap.

Your answers are never tied to your identity. The organisation can't see who responded, can't trace responses back to individuals, and your feedback is only released as part of a group once thresholds are met. Truth is how we fix the world.

They belong to the person who ran the campaign. Participants have 30 days after the campaign ends to claim, and are told the date when they finish. When that window closes, whatever is unclaimed is sent back automatically to the refund wallet the owner gave when funding the campaign. We never move unclaimed rewards into our own treasury.

Yes. Add the Clearvoyance connector at https://clearvoyance.ai/connect/mcp. Claude can check prices and plan a campaign straight away; when it saves one, you sign in to Clearvoyance (or create an account with your email) and allow access once. Claude saves the campaign as a draft, you pay for it on clearvoyance.ai, and then Claude can read you the anonymous answers and the AI report and close the campaign. Claude cannot pay for anything. Details and example requests: https://clearvoyance.ai/connect.

There are two. For people using Claude: https://clearvoyance.ai/connect/mcp — in Claude open Customize → Connectors, choose + → Add custom connector and paste it; you sign in with your Clearvoyance account when Claude first saves a campaign. For developers building their own agents: https://clearvoyance.ai/mcp, where the agent gets an API key from create_account and pays from a prepaid balance (the same actions are also a JSON API at /api/v1). Both use the Streamable HTTP transport.

Any assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — including Claude (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, and any app built with the MCP SDK. The Clearvoyance MCP server is stateless and uses standard Streamable HTTP, so it works out of the box with any compliant client.

Through the connector, Claude can read the price list, check a campaign and its price, save it as a draft in your account, list your campaigns, show one campaign's progress and share link, read the anonymous answers and the AI report once enough people have answered, close a campaign and delete an unpaid draft. Paying is the one thing it cannot do: you pay for a campaign on clearvoyance.ai. The developer server at /mcp adds API-key accounts, a prepaid balance and targeted (emailed) campaigns for agents that run on their own.

A Market Research campaign gives you a single shareable link you can post anywhere — social media, forums, newsletters, community groups. Anyone who clicks the link can respond anonymously, with no invite list required. Responses are capped at a number you choose (10, 50, 100, or 200) and the link closes automatically when the cap is reached.

Clearvoyance uses IP address hashing and device fingerprinting to detect and block duplicate submissions. Each device can only respond once. No personal data from these checks is stored or linkable to response content — it's used only for deduplication.

No. Responses are just as anonymous as in targeted campaigns. You'll receive AI insight reports at milestone counts (e.g. 10, 25, 50 responses) and a final report when the cap is reached. Individual responses are never linked to any identity.

As responses come in, Clearvoyance automatically emails you AI-generated insight reports at meaningful milestones. For example, a 50-response campaign unlocks insights at 10, 25, and 50 responses — so you see trends building in real time rather than waiting until the end.

Optionally, yes. After submitting their response, participants can voluntarily leave their email to be notified of anything that comes from the research. This is entirely separate from their response — there is no technical link between their email and what they said. You can export this list from your dashboard as a plain text file.
