The practical tools run in the browser. No sign-in or paid AI service is required
to use the playbook. Its AI prompts are suggestions to use with a tool of your
choice, not an automatic analysis service. Work saved by the exercises stays on
the reader's device. Shared ratings and anonymous activity use the separate
Playbooks reader-feedback service; written feedback is private until moderated.
