Who should use this?

Expert knowledge transfer and offboarding and Clearly labeled brand or educator replicas.

Who should avoid it?

Replicas without explicit revocable consent, High-stakes advice or commitments

What problem does it solve?

Sensay provides hosted digital replicas and an API for conversational knowledge transfer, offboarding, training, customer experiences, and white-labeled AI applications.

Would I recommend it?

Sensay merits a tightly governed pilot for knowledge continuity or clearly labeled expert experiences where informed consent is ongoing and revocable. Begin with a living participant and low-stakes domain, require citations and abstention, publish who controls the replica, and make correction and deletion operational before inviting an audience. Avoid treating conversational resemblance as permission or truth.

Pricing

Paid

Sensay's API page lists Professional at $249 per month, with annual billing advertised at a 33 percent discount, and Enterprise at custom pricing. Professional includes API access, analytics, a website widget, branding removal, multilingual and tone controls, encryption, and conversation history, but the visible page's knowledge-entry and conversation quotas require direct confirmation because its rendered figures are unusually restrictive. Enterprise adds custom capacity, priority support, and implementation options. Reviewed September 9, 2026.

Free plan: No durable full-featured free plan is clearly published on the current API pricing surface; use any trial only to validate the exact quotas and contract before uploading real knowledge.
