Connecting the dots since 2022

Why "Trueffles"?

Trueffles – the combination of "true" and "truffles" – stands for finding information that is not obvious at first glance and being able to directly check the underlying sources. What true or false – Trueffles – is, is mostly a philosophical question these days. What we can do about it, is to directly link the sources to the information we gather. This gives everyone the opportunity to find out easier and quicker, whether the source and the respective information is legitimate.

Your Questions Answered

What are T.A.I. Credits?

T.A.I. stands for Trueffles AI – the magic that turns your scattered thoughts into visual maps. Every time you ask Trueffles to generate, expand, or refine a map, it uses a handful of credits. Think of them as the fuel for your AI-powered explorations. A simple map costs around 15 credits; a large, complex one can use up to 90. The richer the map, the more thinking the AI does – so your credits stretch further on focused topics than on sprawling ones.

What happens when I run out of credits?

For now, nothing dramatic – your existing maps stay exactly where they are, and you can keep editing them by hand. You just won't be able to generate new AI maps until your monthly pool resets (or you upgrade). If you're stuck mid-project and really need a few more, just drop us a line at support@trueffles.com – we're real humans, and we'd rather help than watch you stop mapping.

Can I buy extra credits on top of my plan?

Not at the moment – your monthly credit pool is what's included in your plan. Credit top-ups are on our roadmap, and if that's something you'd love to see sooner, tell us at support@trueffles.com.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Of course – anytime. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period (month or year), and then you automatically drop back to Free.

Will my yearly subscription renew automatically?

Yes. Your yearly plan renews on the same date each year so you don't lose access mid-project. You can cancel anytime from your account if you'd rather not continue. No surprise charges.

What happens to my Spaces if I downgrade?

Nothing gets deleted. If you move back to Free, you'll keep access to your three most recent Spaces. The rest stay safely tucked away in your account, untouched. The moment you upgrade again, all of them come right back, exactly as you left them. Your work is yours – we're just holding it for you.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all of your (and our) data is safely stored on EU servers.
