The complaint themes
Generic, mechanical answers
Expert-clone products sound like basic chatbots — confident outside their knowledge, vague inside it.
Granova: Gap flags and cited excerpts from the expert's real work. If they haven't covered it, Granova says so instead of improvising.
Filters that kill the product
Arbitrary moderation cuts conversations mid-sentence or deletes characters.
Granova: When Granova refuses, it's because the expert hasn't covered the topic — not a content filter. Off-topic trivia isn't the product.
Credits burn faster than expected
Message minutes and opaque meters disappear mid-week with no warning.
Granova: Credits meter how much expert knowledge is served. Plans and packs are priced up front — no surprise renewal traps.
FAQ
- Can experts on Granova have a fun persona?
- Voice can live in your client instructions. Facts still come from the expert’s knowledge — Granova won’t invent a backstory.
