Hosted Setup, Free Trial, and Monthly Subscription Guide
Last updated: August 20, 2026
Briard-AI is a hosted subscription service
Briard-AI is delivered to customers through the hosted application at briard-ai.app. There is no software to download, no infrastructure for a standard customer to deploy, and no repository access included with a standard plan.
An eligible organization can begin with one 30-day free trial. No payment method is required, the trial includes Professional features, and it never turns into a paid subscription automatically. A verified owner chooses a monthly plan only if the organization wants to continue after the trial.
Continuing paid workspace features after the trial requires a paid monthly subscription chosen separately by a verified owner.
A customer request for a private, dedicated, or otherwise non-standard deployment requires a separate written commercial agreement and does not replace monthly licensing.
1. Create your free workspace
- Open Create your Briard-AI account.
- Enter the requested owner and organization details.
- Select Start free.
- Confirm the work email address using the verification message.
- Sign in and open the workspace. This starts the 30-day trial.
There is no Checkout step and no payment information during trial setup.
2. Find and govern your AI tools
You do not need to know AI governance. Briard explains the work one step at a time.
- Choose Find my AI tools automatically, Add one tool myself, or Explore a sample.
- For automatic discovery, choose Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Browser Check.
- Let Briard find the organization identifier when available, or send the plain-language approval request to your IT administrator.
- Review one suggested tool at a time and answer Yes, No, or I'm not sure.
- Confirm the simple facts Briard prepares. Advanced details stay available for an authorized reviewer.
See the Automation Setup Guide and User Guide for collection boundaries and the complete workflow.
3. Choose a monthly plan only when you are ready
Current list prices are:
| Plan | Monthly list price | Included access | Purchase path |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | $149 per month | One AI system included, Core artifacts, and one selected framework pack | Self-service monthly subscription; additional systems are $40 each per month |
| Professional | $399 per month | Ten AI systems included, Core, CMMC, TRAIGA, and HIPAA packs | Self-service monthly subscription; additional systems are $40 each per month |
| Partner | $99 per client organization per month | Three AI systems included per isolated client organization, Partner Console, and white-label exports | Sales-assisted monthly subscription with quantity and minimum billing; additional systems are $40 each per month |
These are continuation plans, not a condition of starting the trial. Paid plans have no hard AI-system limit. The Billing page shows the included allowance and the monthly increase before a customer confirms additional systems. Prices are in USD before applicable taxes. Promotions and availability may change. The price, billing cadence, renewal terms, and other checkout terms displayed in the hosted application are authoritative when the customer subscribes.
Eligible founding organizations may see a recurring promotional price in the hosted application. Availability is confirmed only during Checkout; documentation does not reserve a promotional slot.
4. Start monthly billing
- In Billing, confirm the selected monthly plan.
- For Solo, select the CMMC, TRAIGA, or HIPAA framework pack.
- Enter the number of AI systems to cover. Review the included allowance and the $40 monthly charge for each additional system.
- Review the total monthly price, applicable promotion, taxes, renewal terms, and cancellation terms shown in Checkout.
- Enter the requested payment information and complete Checkout.
- Return to Billing and wait for the subscription status to become active. Do not submit a second purchase if activation is still processing.
Paid plans renew according to the checkout terms until canceled. Features and framework entitlements are activated from the completed subscription and remain governed by the subscription status.
The free trial does not renew, does not store a card, and does not charge the organization. Monthly billing begins only after a verified owner separately completes Checkout.
5. Secure and configure the workspace
During the trial or after a subscription activates:
- Enroll multi-factor authentication from Account.
- Confirm the organization name and owner details.
- Invite only authorized team members and assign the minimum role each person needs.
- Open Automation setup and connect an approved Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Browser Check source when available.
- Review automatically discovered systems, then manually register only systems that approved connectors cannot observe.
- During the trial, use the included Professional framework packs. After subscribing, use only the packs and workflows included with the active plan.
Follow the Automation Setup Guide and User Guide for the customer workflow. Briard-AI operates the hosted application, security updates, service infrastructure, and platform maintenance as part of the subscription service.
6. Manage the monthly subscription
Owners and administrators who have completed MFA can open the Customer Portal from Billing to review the subscription and available plan-management actions.
- Plan changes, cancellation timing, taxes, and refunds follow the terms displayed in Checkout, the Customer Portal, or the applicable order.
- A cancellation or downgrade may affect paid system capacity, framework packs, artifacts, and workspace access. Briard shows the included allowance and any additional-system price change before confirmation.
- If payment succeeds but access has not updated, wait briefly, refresh Billing, and contact support before attempting another purchase.
7. Partner and non-standard deployment requests
Partner subscriptions are sales-assisted because billing depends on the number of isolated client organizations and any applicable minimum commitment. Email support@briard-ai.app to arrange onboarding.
Private, dedicated, or other non-standard deployment requests must be evaluated separately. Any approved arrangement requires written commercial terms covering monthly licensing, support, security responsibilities, updates, and the permitted deployment model. Public customer documentation does not grant a right to copy, self-host, redistribute, or operate Briard-AI outside an active commercial agreement.
8. Get help
For account, subscription, or onboarding help, email support@briard-ai.app. Include the workspace name, approximate time, and visible message. Never send passwords, MFA codes, payment-card data, API keys, regulated data, or raw customer production content.
