FAQ: How do Generations and Strategies work?

This FAQ explains—clearly and quickly—how Generations (your usage credits) and Strategies (how the Lottif Engine runs and structures outputs) work.

Quick summary

Free trial: 7 days + 5 generations included.
Generations don’t roll over: unused credits don’t carry to the next month.
Quota resets monthly: your available generations return at the start of each billing cycle.

What is a “Generation”?

A Generation is one execution of the Engine that produces an output (or a set of variations) from your input—e.g., a brief, idea, topic, goal, or structure.

A generation may include:

drafting,
multiple angles/variations,
tone/style adjustments,
refinement for goals (clarity, conversion, SEO, etc.).

Note: output length can vary depending on task type and chosen strategy.

How does the quota work?

Each plan includes a number of generations per cycle.
Once you reach the limit, new generations are unavailable until:
the cycle resets, or
you upgrade (if available).

Why don’t generations roll over?

This keeps capacity predictable and performance stable. Choose a plan that matches your monthly volume.

What are “Strategies”?

Strategies are execution profiles that define how the Engine balances exploration (more options) and refinement (more consistency).

Most products expose two families:

Aggressive strategies: faster exploration, more variations.
Conservative strategies: more validation, consistency, and refinement.

When should I use each one?

Aggressive — use it when you need:

lots of ideas fast,
new angles and hooks,
brainstorming,
A/B-style copy variations.

You get: variety and speed.

Trade-off: you’ll likely curate and edit more.

Conservative — use it when you need:

brand consistency,
a “closer-to-final” output,
fewer variations and more precision,
sensitive pages (policies, institutional pages, announcements).

You get: stability and predictability.

Trade-off: fewer alternative ideas.

Common questions

1) Does the same generation always produce the same result?

Not necessarily. Depending on context and strategy, suggestions may vary.

2) Can I run it again to “try another version”?

Yes—running again uses additional generations. For less variance, choose a more conservative strategy.

3) How can I save generations?

Start aggressive to explore.
Pick 1–2 directions and finalize conservative.
Provide clear inputs: goal, audience, tone, constraints, examples.

4) What happens when the monthly cycle renews?

Your quota refreshes back to your plan limit.
