SMS & call messaging terms

The terms of the ArtificialWatch text-message and automated-call program. By entering your mobile number in the arming panel and checking the consent box shown there, you agree to these terms.

Program

ArtificialWatch Alerts, operated by Mark Studios LLC. Website: artificialwatch.com. ArtificialWatch is an independent monitor and is not affiliated with any AI lab.

What messages you’ll receive

If you opt in, ArtificialWatch sends you: (1) a one-time verification code confirming the mobile number you provided; (2) a launch alert when a model on your watch list goes live and answers a real request: a text on Signal, and a text and an automated phone call on The Call and the Watchtower. The alert names the model and, when we have it, its API price; and (3) a test text (and, on a plan with the call, a test call) only when you press “Send me a test” in your arming panel, at most three a day. That is the whole program. We never send a separate text or call about news, rumors, price changes, benchmarks, or anything else: those go by email only.

How to opt in

ArtificialWatch texts or calls a number only when both of these are true: you are on a paid plan and have affirmatively checked the consent box in the arming panel on your preferences page, and you have confirmed the number by entering the one-time code we text you. Until both are done, nothing texts or rings you.

Consent is not a condition of purchase. Nothing is collected at checkout — we never ask for a phone number to take your money. You can pay, never arm a number, and keep the email alerts you bought.

This is the exact control, unchecked by default, as it appears in the arming panel:

I agree to receive recurring automated text messages and an automated phone call from ArtificialWatch (Mark Studios LLC) at the number provided — a one-time verification code and launch alerts for the AI models I have chosen to watch, including when a new state-of-the-art model goes live. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See Messaging Terms (artificialwatch.com/messaging) and Privacy Policy (artificialwatch.com/privacy).

Message frequency

Frequency varies and is low: one verification code, then one alert per launch on your watch list — historically a few per month. This is recurring messaging.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply. ArtificialWatch does not charge for the messages themselves; your mobile carrier’s standard rates apply.

Opt out & help

Reply STOP to any message to stop texts and calls immediately — you get one confirmation and nothing after it. Reply HELP for help, or email contact@fablewatch.com. You can also switch the loud channels off yourself in the arming panel on your preferences page. Either way your email alerts keep working: stopping texts is not the same as unsubscribing.

Quiet hours

Paid plans include a quiet-hours window in which a launch call is downgraded to a text, so a 3am drop still reaches you without waking the house.

Carriers

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
