## Product

### What is Dreamlit Autopilot?

Autopilot is Dreamlit's done-for-you activation service. It reads your product data, builds your funnel, and ships the nudges that turn signups into active, paying users, each one reviewed by a Dreamlit expert and approved by you.

### How do I get access?

Autopilot is in early access. [Join the waitlist](https://dreamlit.ai/autopilot) or [request a free audit](mailto:support@dreamlit.ai?subject=Free%20activation%20audit) and tell us a little about your product. We onboard teams by hand right now, so you will hear from a person, not a drip sequence.

### How much does Autopilot cost?

Autopilot is priced by scale and scope. Plans start at \$3,000 a month and include expert review of every change. [Talk to us](mailto:support@dreamlit.ai?subject=Autopilot%20for%20our%20team) and we'll scope it with you.

### Who writes the emails?

Autopilot drafts them from your funnel, your brand, and our playbooks. A Dreamlit expert reviews every draft before it reaches you, and you approve, edit, or decline each one.

### Do I approve every send?

Yes. Nothing goes out without your approval. Once a workflow is approved and live, it sends automatically to the users who match, and you can pause it at any time.

### Do I need to replace my current email setup first?

No. Start with one workflow, prove it, and move the rest over at your own pace.

### I already use Dreamlit. What changes?

Nothing changes for your account, your plan, or your published workflows. Autopilot uses its own read-only connection, which we set up with you during onboarding, so your existing connection and workflows keep running as they are. Autopilot adds the funnel intelligence and the experts on top, and you can move to it whenever it makes sense. The self-serve product is documented under [Dreamlit Engine](/docs/getting-started/introduction).

## Your database

### Why does Autopilot connect to my database?

Your database is the source of truth about your users. Connecting to it read-only lets Autopilot build your funnel from real behavior, trigger workflows off real events, and render previews with real rows. You stay in control of the connection.

### Does Autopilot change anything in my database?

No. Nothing is installed: no triggers, tables, functions, or schemas. The Autopilot user is read-only and can't write, delete, or alter anything. See [Your data](/docs/autopilot/your-data).

### Will it slow down my database?

No. Autopilot follows your database's built-in change feed, which is light work for your database and much lighter than repeatedly querying your tables. The one-time read at setup runs in small batches in the background.

### Which databases are supported?

PostgreSQL 14 or newer with logical replication enabled, which covers Supabase, Neon, Amazon RDS and Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, and most managed providers. See [Connect your database](/docs/autopilot/connect-your-database).

### I have very large tables. Is that a problem?

No. Large tables are read in small batches in the background during setup, and your database keeps serving your app as usual. After setup, Autopilot only reads new changes.

### Will setup send anything to my users?

No. Setup never sends anything. Rows that already existed, and changes that happened while Autopilot was getting ready, shape your funnel but do not start a campaign. Only activity after Autopilot is ready can trigger a workflow.

### How do I revoke access?

Remove the connection in your Dreamlit dashboard first, or ask us to, then drop the Autopilot user in your database. See [Removing access](/docs/autopilot/connect-your-database#removing-access).

## Reliability

### What happens if my database is briefly unavailable, or Dreamlit is?

Your database holds the changes until the connection is back. Autopilot then picks up exactly where it left off. Nothing is missed, and nobody gets the same email twice. See [system status](/docs/resources/system-status) for our uptime.

### What happens if a send fails?

Each workflow step runs durably with automatic retries. Hard failures are escalated to a person on our team, and failed runs can be re-run from the dashboard.

## Support

### How do I get help?

Autopilot customers have a named Dreamlit expert. You can also reach us at [support@dreamlit.ai](mailto:support@dreamlit.ai) any time. See [getting support](/docs/resources/getting-support).
