Unifire.ai - Plus Exclusive Reviews

almost every YT video ends with an error:
"This video is not authorized by Youtube to be transcribed. Please choose a different video or upload manually an audio/video file."

why? I don't now, neither do the owner

problem reported many times, left without solution, like me with a non-working product that can no longer be returned

I waited a month before posting this.

I tried asking why Unifire's Terms of Service (TOS) requires users to agree that Unifire OWNS user content.

There are numerous clauses in their TOS that state that every user is handing over FULL OWNERSHIP, USAGE, AND REPRINT RIGHTS to ALL generated *and uploaded* content, just by using their service. This means if I write an article and upload it to get social content... they now own that article. And the generated content.

That is not acceptable, not necessary, and highly concerning.

I wrote Unifire. I got no reply, then wrote again, pointing out that they seemed to be using a boilerplate TOS template anyway. So I asked if they could choose another one. Then, I got a reply from Max.

He said "we don't do anything with your content," which is great. But the TOS says that they CAN, which... poses exactly the same concerns. He also said he'd consider adjusting the TOS if I had suggestions. So I was hopeful.

Well, I took quite a bit of my own time finding an agreement that seemed fair for BOTH parties: the content creators and the owners. I LITERALLY FOUND THEM A NEW AGREEMENT AND SENT IT TO THEM. I got zero reply.

I tried following up, got zero reply. I wrote AppSumo, got zero reply from them and still no reply again from Unifire team other than the very first one asking me to suggest a new agreement.

Nowadays, people are signing over way too many rights, freedoms, and property just to use services. It's simple enough just to use an agreement that doesn't require me to transfer ownership of content I write and create to the service just to USE that service.

Also, I already use three separate AI tools. (I was super excited about this one, which is why I continued to write them at all. I never go such lengths to use a product.) But I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I can have my other tools create social media posts, summarize things, etc., without using a tool expressly for that, like Unifire.

Still, I wish that support wasn't so lackadaisical, and that user content was held in higher regard. I won't be signing over the rights to my content just to create social media posts, articles, and summaries.

The entire purpose of such a product is that it would do better than just asking ChatGPT to do the same thing. Unifire does and then also doesn't. One really elementary functionality would be to bulk export created posts, yet this does not exist.

Also, unifire engages in the ethically murky practice of offering credits for review but then doesn't deliver on the promised credits despite several follow up e-mails.

Not sure it does enough to justify a stand alone product vs. just using your go-to LLM chat.

Seriously when you think of AI; other then robots killing us, this is what I think of. Tools that automate, streamline and multiply content for you all within the same time spent gathering the content or less. They have templates up the Wazoo, and dropped a bunch more today. I am tying my boat to Unifire and I recommend them as well.

Honestly, being able to take a video or some text and instantly turn it into a worksheet or flashcards is absolutely insane!

What a time saver!

My only suggestion is that I'd like to make the results customizable. For example, I'd like to give the app a video and say I want a worksheet with 10 questions or 20 or whatever. Yes, I can do less, obviously, but sometimes it doesn't produce quite enough. Maybe that's a limitation of the content itself (like, there's just not 10 questions to come up with) or maybe the AI is limited by default, I'm not sure.
