How it works
How the AI writes your drafts
apambo uses an AI model to write. Here is exactly what that means: which model, what it is told, what it won't do, and the part that is still up to you.
Last updated November 9, 2026
The short version
- One model, one job
Drafts are written by DeepSeek, a large language model, reached through OpenRouter.
- Never used for training
Every request asks OpenRouter to use only providers that don't store or train on prompts.
- Built around your detail
Each tool has its own instructions, written by hand for that occasion, not one generic prompt.
- You have the last word
AI can get things wrong. Read the draft out loud once before you use it.
What happens when you press Generate
- Your sentence (the occasion, the tone, who it's for and your detail) is sent to our server. Nothing else from your account goes with it, not your email and not your past drafts.
- The server adds that tool's instructions and sends both to the model through OpenRouter, asking for a provider that doesn't keep or train on the request.
- The model writes the draft: three different versions on most tools, one full speech on the speech tools. You watch it appear as it is written.
- Everything is saved to your workspace, which only you can see, so you can copy them later. You can delete them there at any time.
If the model stalls or fails, we retry. If it still fails, the job is marked failed and the credits go back to your balance automatically.
What it is told to do, and not do
Every tool's instructions follow the same rules.
It will
- Build every draft around the detail you give it
- Match the tone you pick, from heartfelt to funny
- Keep to the length the occasion needs, like a card or a 3-minute toast
- On most tools, give you three genuinely different versions, not one draft reworded
It won't
- Invent names, or sign the card for you
- Write anything hateful, sexual, harassing or meant to hurt or deceive someone
- Take orders hidden in your sentence; your words are treated as details, not instructions
- Learn from your drafts or show them to anyone else
The part that is still up to you
The model writes from the details you give it and from general knowledge. It doesn't know your friend, your grandma or your book club, so it can guess wrong, overdo the jokes, or state something as a fact that isn't true. Before you use a draft:
- Read it out loud. If a line doesn't sound like you, change it or pick another version.
- Check any fact or story. Especially in a speech: make sure every memory actually happened.
- Add one line of your own. It is the part people remember.
Our guides walk through this for each occasion, like how to write a best man speech.
Why DeepSeek
For short personal writing, it writes warmly, follows instructions closely and is fast enough to stream a draft in a few seconds, at a cost that lets us give every account free credits every day. If we change the model, we'll update this page and note it in the changelog.
