Using Clavet's AI assistant without losing your voice

What the AI does (and doesn't do)

Understanding AI capabilities helps you use it effectively without losing your creative voice.

What AI helps with

Organisation:

• Suggests section labels (verse, chorus, bridge)
• Identifies repeated phrases or hooks
• Organises scattered ideas into structure
• Groups related lines together

Cleanup:

• Fixes typos in transcriptions
• Suggests line breaks for better flow
• Formats lyrics consistently
• Corrects grammar (optional)

Inspiration:

• Suggests alternative phrasings (when you ask)
• Identifies rhyming opportunities
• Highlights strong lines
• Suggests word choices

Transcription:

• Converts voice memos to text
• Handles singing reasonably well
• Processes multiple languages
• Improves accuracy over time

What AI doesn't do

It doesn't write for you:

• AI suggestions are optional
• You control what gets added
• Your voice stays yours
• You're always the creator

It doesn't share your work:

• All AI processing is private
• Your songs are never used to train models
• Complete creative ownership
• No external sharing

It doesn't replace creativity:

• AI assists, doesn't create
• Best songs come from you
• AI helps polish, you provide soul
• Tool, not replacement

Privacy guarantees

Your creative work is private, and Clavet takes privacy seriously.

How privacy works

Local processing:

• AI processes audio/text locally when possible
• No data sent to external servers unnecessarily
• Your work stays on your device
• Only processes what's needed

No training data:

• Your songs are never used to train AI models
• Your work doesn't improve AI for others
• Complete creative ownership
• Your ideas stay yours

Encrypted storage:

• All songs encrypted at rest
• Secure transmission when syncing
• Industry-standard encryption
• Your work is protected

No external sharing:

• Songs never shared without your permission
• No advertising or marketing use
• No third-party access
• You control sharing

Transcription and cleanup

AI transcription and cleanup save time while maintaining accuracy.

Voice memo transcription

How it works:

Editing transcriptions:

Text cleanup

Typo correction:

• AI identifies likely typos
• Suggests corrections
• You choose what to accept
• Never auto-corrects without permission

Formatting suggestions:

• Identifies stanza structure
• Formats consistently
• You approve changes

Grammar (optional):

Organisation suggestions

AI helps organise your ideas without changing your creative content.
