Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Will the AI writing actually sound good?
Yes — and it gets better over time. Aldus uses Anthropic's Claude, one of the most capable AI writing models available. You set your tone, voice, and style preferences during onboarding, and Aldus matches them from issue one. The self-improving experiment engine then fine-tunes what works based on real reader engagement data. Most creators are genuinely surprised by the quality.
Can I edit before it sends?
Absolutely. You're the editor-in-chief, not a passenger. Aldus drafts every issue and presents it for your review. You can edit any section directly, chat with Aldus to request changes ('make the intro punchier', 'add a section about X'), or approve it as-is. Nothing sends without your explicit approval.
What about email deliverability?
Aldus uses Amazon SES, the same infrastructure behind Netflix, Reddit, and Duolingo's emails. You get proper SPF and DKIM authentication with your custom domain, automatic bounce handling, and complaint processing. We actively monitor sender reputation and automatically suppress problematic addresses to keep your deliverability rate high.
Can I import my existing subscribers?
Yes. You can import subscribers via CSV upload with their email, name, and any custom fields. Aldus automatically handles deduplication and validates email addresses during import. If you're migrating from another platform, your subscriber list transfers seamlessly.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your billing period. Your subscriber list, all past issues, and your public newsletter archive remain accessible. You can export everything at any time. We don't hold your data hostage — if you decide to leave, your content and contacts go with you.
Who owns the content Aldus creates?
You do. Every newsletter, image, and piece of content Aldus generates belongs entirely to you. You have full commercial rights to republish, repurpose, or redistribute anything created through the platform. Aldus makes no claim to your content.
