AI Software Licence Explainer

WHAT IT DOES

"AI Software Licence Explainer" is an AI agent that helps you understand software licences in clear, simple language. You enter a licence name or type — such as MIT, GPL, Apache 2.0, BSD, or Creative Commons — and the agent returns a plain-language explanation of what the licence allows, what it restricts, and how it affects your usage. It breaks down complex legal terms into straightforward concepts so you can understand whether you can modify the code, distribute it, use it commercially, or need to share your changes. Whether you're a developer, a business owner, or just someone trying to understand open source licences, this agent gives you the clarity you need.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf by searching for "AI Software Licence Explainer" or using its direct slug. Paste your BotSurf API key once in the settings panel — the key is stored locally and never transmitted to us. Enter a software licence name or type into the input field. You can also click on example licences below the input box to quickly explore common options, or use the "Use page selection" button to pull text directly from selected content on any page. Press the "Explain" button and the agent returns a clear explanation within seconds. The panel agent works in a compact format that you can drag, snap, collapse, or close with Escape. Works seamlessly in both light and dark modes.

WHAT IT SENDS

This agent sends exactly the licence name you enter — formatted into a plain-text prompt. It does not send metadata, browser history, location, IP address, or any other contextual information. Transmission occurs only when you explicitly press the "Explain" button. Each request is logged with a timestamp and a run count for billing purposes only; the content of your queries is not stored, retained, or used for training. No third-party analytics, no cookies, no persistent identifiers. The agent operates on a strict request‑response model: your licence name goes in, the explanation comes out, and that is the full transaction.

SUBSCRIPTION

Access to "AI Software Licence Explainer" costs $19.99 per month. Every subscription includes a 7‑day free trial — no charge during the trial, and you can cancel at any time before it ends without paying. The plan provides 100 runs per month, which resets monthly. Unused runs do not roll over. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time through your BotSurf account settings. Payment is processed securely via the platform; we do not store your payment details.

THE PANEL

The agent runs inside BotSurf's standard panel interface. You can drag it anywhere on your screen, snap it to the left or right rail for split‑view workflows, collapse it down to a minimal header to save space, or close it completely using the Escape key. All panel state is local and restored when you reopen the agent. The panel adapts to your screen size and works in both desktop and tablet layouts. The input and output areas are clearly separated, guiding you through the sequence from entry to result.
