Frequently asked questions
Short answers about Novable, Vasilich, your accounts and your data
Using Novable
Who is Novable for?
Creators who record long-form video, such as podcasts, streams, talks or lessons, and want short vertical versions of it on their own channels without an evening in an editor
Do I need to install anything?
No. Novable runs as a Telegram bot and does all the processing on its servers
What can I send?
A video file, or a link to one. Large files are easiest to share as a link from cloud storage
How long does it take?
A single short is usually ready within a few minutes. Splitting a long recording with subtitles takes longer, depending on its length
Accounts and publishing
Where does Novable publish?
Only to the YouTube channel or TikTok account you connect yourself. Novable has no accounts of its own and never posts anywhere you did not choose
Can it post without my request?
No. A video is uploaded only when you publish it, right away or at a time you set. Novable never reads your feed, followers, comments or private messages
Why do TikTok posts need one more tap?
Novable delivers the video to your TikTok account, and you publish it from the TikTok app. The final decision about every post stays with you
Whose content can I publish?
Only content you own or have the rights to. Re-uploading someone else's video breaks the rules of every platform and our Terms of Service
Vasilich
What is Vasilich?
A second bot by Novable, for channel owners. It collects posts from public channels you choose, filters them and publishes the ones you approve to your channel. Meet Vasilich
Does Vasilich post without asking?
Only in the modes you switch on yourself: autopilot for trusted sources or full autopost. By default every post waits for your tap, and every automatic post has a cancel button
Does Vasilich credit the source?
Yes. A line naming the source channel is added by default, and you can switch it off per channel
What data does Vasilich keep?
Your Telegram ID, your channels, their sources and the candidate posts with your decisions. Details are in the Privacy Policy
Data and access
What happens to my videos?
Uploaded and finished files are kept only while they are needed and deleted automatically after about a week. Details are in the Privacy Policy
How do I remove my data?
Disconnect an account in the /accounts menu to delete its stored authorisation right away. To delete everything else, write to support
How much does it cost?
Both bots are free to use at the moment
How do I get access?
