Frequently Asked Questions
How are the speeches written?
Speeches are generated using AI language models (specifically OpenAI's GPT models) based on the answers you provide in our questionnaire. The AI is prompted with military ceremony protocols and your personal details to create a customized speech. You receive a preview first, then can unlock, edit, and refine the full speech.
Are the speeches accurate to military protocol?
We've researched official military publications (AR 600-8-7, AFI 36-3203, MILPERSMAN, MCO) to inform the speech structure and ceremony traditions. However, AI can make errors, and protocols vary by unit. You should review the speech carefully and coordinate with your unit's protocol office for official requirements.
What branches do you support?
We support all six branches: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Each branch has specific terminology, traditions, and protocols that are reflected in the generated speeches.
What do I get for $19?
Unlocking gives you the full speech with editing capabilities, one AI-powered revision, two PDF formats (podium copy and keepsake), teleprompter view, practice timer with section tracking, ceremony program builder, and a shareable link. You can return to your speech anytime for 90 days.
What if I'm not satisfied?
You see a preview (outline and opening paragraph) before paying. After unlocking, you can edit the speech directly and request one free AI revision. If the service fails to deliver as described (technical errors), contact us within 7 days for a refund review. We can't guarantee refunds for AI content quality, but we want you to be satisfied.
How is my data handled?
Your questionnaire answers and speech are stored securely on cloud servers (Vercel) and automatically deleted after 90 days. You can delete your data anytime. We don't sell or share your information. Payment is handled securely by Stripe—we never see your card details. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Is this affiliated with the military?
No. CeremonySpeech is an independent, privately operated service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the U.S. Department of Defense or any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
