Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about wallet credit, usage, subscriptions, and how Tycoon charges for work.
How is this different from a dashboard tool like Geckoboard?
Dashboards make you go look. The daily briefing comes to you with interpretation — not just 'revenue was $4,200' but 'revenue was $4,200, up 18% WoW, driven by the Claude Code integration page we shipped Tuesday; the trend is real, not noise.' A dashboard shows data; the AI CEO tells you what it means. Paperclip and Polsia force you to configure widgets manually; Tycoon's AI CEO writes the briefing from scratch every morning based on what actually changed.
Can I customize what's in the briefing?
Yes — tell the AI CEO once and it sticks. Say 'add Twitter follower count' or 'drop the support section, I check it live' in chat, and the next briefing reflects it. No form to fill out, no JSON to edit. The AI CEO also learns from what you ignore — if you never read the infrastructure section, it'll start compressing it or asking if you want it removed. Unlike Paperclip where every customization is a config change, this is just a conversation.
What if I'm in a different timezone or travel a lot?
The heartbeat fires on your workspace timezone, which you can change anytime. If you tell the AI CEO 'I'm in Tokyo this week, shift briefings to 7am JST,' it adjusts the schedule until you tell it to change back. The briefing also captures the 'overnight window' relative to your current timezone — if you worked late and your AI team shipped things at 11pm your time, those go in tomorrow's briefing, not today's.
Does this replace my weekly review?
It replaces the data-gathering part of your weekly review, not the thinking part. Every Monday the AI CEO rolls up the week's briefings into a separate weekly review with trend analysis and proposed strategic adjustments. You still read it and make calls — but you're reading a synthesized doc instead of rebuilding context from scratch. Founders who use Tycoon typically cut weekly review prep from 2 hours to 15 minutes.
Can the briefing adapt based on what I actually read?
Yes. AI CEO tracks which sections you open, which links you click, and which items you respond to. Over 2-4 weeks it adjusts the briefing priorities — sections you consistently ignore get demoted, items you frequently act on get surfaced earlier. The briefing becomes more useful over time without you manually tuning it. You can also explicitly tell the CEO "stop including X" in chat and it persists.
