Who owns the project you manage on Byoi
Byoi is proprietary; everything you create with it, cards, decisions, context, and configuration, remains yours, versioned in your own Git repository.

That's the most common question from anyone evaluating an AI tool to manage a project: who ends up owning what gets created. This page clearly separates product code, the Byoi brand, and the content you create inside your own Git repositories.
Product code
The Byoi application code is proprietary software, except for parts explicitly published under another license. This license does not automatically grant permission to copy, host, resell, or offer a derived version of the service.
User-created content
What you create using Byoi remains yours. This includes cards, decisions, context, knowledge, prototypes, versioned configuration, and files in your Git repository.
Open formats
The product uses Markdown, frontmatter, and Git because the project should remain useful outside Byoi. You do not need a special export to take your data: it is already in your repository.
Versioned customization
Workflow configuration such as columns, card types, and project preferences lives in byoi.config.json. That lets you review and revert workflow changes like any other diff.
Brand
Byoi, byoi.app, logo, and visual identity are product marks. You should not use the brand in a way that implies partnership, endorsement, or an official product without authorization.
Frequently asked questions
If I cancel Byoi, do I lose my project history
No. Cards, decisions, knowledge, and configuration already live as commits in your Git repository. Canceling Byoi does not delete the repository or its commit history.
Can Byoi use my project to train AI models
No. The product code is proprietary, but that does not give Byoi a license over the content you create. Cards, decisions, and context remain yours, versioned in your Git.
