Common questions

Short answers to what people ask most, each pointing at the article with the full one.

Short answers. Each one links to the article that holds the detail, so there is only ever one place a fact can go stale.

​

​

Can I skip the setup when I sign up?

No. Setup runs once, the first time you sign in, and the app waits behind it. Individual questions can be left alone, but the flow as a whole has to be finished, and the dialog has no close button.

​

If you do not want to link an account, choose I don't post anywhere yet and describe what you do in a sentence, and where you plan to post, instead. That is the short way through. See Your first result.

​

​

Do I have to connect my social accounts?

No. You add a handle and Vamos reads what is public, the same as anyone visiting your profile. There is no login, no password and no permission screen. A private account cannot be read at all. See Adding your socials.

​

​

Can Vamos post or schedule for me?

No. Vamos writes the script, caption or brief. Posting is yours, and there is no scheduler in the product. See What Vamos cannot do.

​

​

Does it make the video?

No. No video generation, no image generation, no editing. It tells you what to film and writes what you say.

​

​

Can it watch a video, or only read the caption?

It watches. Vamos can pull the transcript and analyse what happens on screen, which is how a breakdown can talk about pacing and what is shown rather than just the words.

​

​

How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Those are general assistants. Vamos is built for one job and comes with the parts that job needs:

  • A live index of short-form video

  • The creators you follow checked on a schedule

  • Your voice learned from your own posts

  • A brief that arrives without being asked

​

​

​

Will it actually sound like me?

It gets close if you give it samples. Vamos derives your voice from things you have written or posted, or from your answers to a few questions in chat. The Full voice report on the Voice tab shows what it learned and which sections are still empty. See Teach Vamos your voice.

​

​

Does it just copy what competitors are doing?

It tells you what structure worked and why, then writes your version on your topic in your voice. The pattern is what transfers, not the content.

​

​

Can I run several brands or clients?

Yes, in separate workspaces. Each keeps its own brand, voice, creators, Routines and chat history. Free and Pro have one workspace, Business has three, and three is the most on any plan today. See Workspaces.

​

​

How often are the creators you follow updated?

Vamos keeps the recent videos of the creators you added current, and scans new creators within a minute or two of adding them. After that it checks each creator again on a schedule set by how often they post, and their new posts land in Videos under Following. See Creator scanning and freshness.

​

​

What is the weekly brief?

Up to five things worth acting on, once a week (Monday unless you change it), from the creators you follow, your niche, rising formats and your own posts.

​

It starts once your own account is added and you follow five creators, and it emails only in a week with at least three new posts of your own and enough new from the creators you follow and your niche. It is included on every plan and never spends credits. See Your weekly brief.

​

​

How do credits work?

A credit is spent when Vamos answers you. Cost depends on how much it reads, how much it writes and which model runs. The info icon under every answer shows what it cost. See How credits are spent.

​

​

What do the plans cost?

Plans, credits and prices has every price and allowance. It is the only article that carries them.

​

​

Does the trial need a card?

Yes. You pick a plan, the trial runs for seven days, and it converts unless you cancel first. See The free plan and the 7-day trial.

​

​

Can I pay now instead of starting the trial?

Checkout offers the trial to first-time subscribers, so the way to start paying today is to start the trial and then end it early on the Billing tab in Settings. You are charged in full immediately and your plan's credits arrive straight away.

​

If you have subscribed before, there is no trial and checkout charges you straight away. See Managing your subscription.

​

​

Can I change my login email?

Not yourself. Email [email protected] from the address on your account and tell us the new one, and we move it over with everything in it. Changing the address on your Google account does not change your Vamos login. See Account settings and interface language.

​

​

Do I have to wait for an answer to finish?

No. Send the next prompt while Vamos is still answering. It waits above the message box and sends itself when the answer finishes. Up to five can wait. You can also use other pages while it works, and a pulsing dot beside the chat in the sidebar shows it is still going. See The chat window.

​

​

Can I export what Vamos writes?

Yes. A doc exports as text, Markdown, PDF or Word (CSV too when it holds a table), and can be shared by link. Both come with the trial and paid plans. See Exporting and sharing.

​

​

Which languages is the interface in?

Eight: English, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Russian, Polish and Portuguese (Brazil). That changes the interface, not what Vamos writes for you, which follows your prompt and your brand. See Account settings and interface language.

​

​

Can I get a refund?

Within fourteen days of your first purchase, if you have used no more than 200 credits. See Refunds.
