Disclaimer and disclosures

Last updated 30 October 2026

The short version

  • vbe is still being built. What you see here may change before it ships.
  • vbe uses AI. AI can get things wrong, so you check everything before you publish it.
  • Nothing on this website is financial, legal or professional advice.
  • Nobody pays us to mention a product, and we earn nothing from the links on this site.

vbe is not finished

vbe | video build engine is software in development. Screens marked "Early design preview" show how the app is being designed, not a finished product. Features, prices, platforms and dates can change, and some may never ship. Please don't make a decision, such as buying something else or planning work, on the basis that a feature described here will exist on a given date.

AI can get things wrong

vbe uses AI services to plan scenes, make pictures and make voices. AI output can be wrong, out of date, biased, strange, or too close to someone else's work. That is why vbe is built around "AI proposes. vbe validates. You decide." vbe checks what it can and asks for your approval, but the final call on what you publish is yours, and so is the responsibility for it.

Before you publish a video made with vbe, check the facts, the pictures and the words, and make sure you have the right to use everything in it.

Not advice

vbe started as the production system behind rethink normal, a Canadian personal finance channel. Nothing on this website, and nothing vbe makes, is financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. If a video you make covers those subjects, the accuracy of what it says is up to you.

Costs from AI services

vbe will charge for AI steps in vbe credits. Before every step that costs credits, vbe shows the cost and waits for your yes. How credits are priced, and what happens if a step fails, will be set out in full before launch. The AI services vbe uses can change their prices, and vbe's credit prices may change to match.

Other companies' names

We sometimes mention other companies and products, such as YouTube, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, or other video tools, to explain what vbe works with or how it compares. Those names belong to their owners. Mentioning them doesn't mean they endorse vbe or that we are connected to them. When we compare vbe with another product, we describe what each one says about itself on the date we checked.

Money and links

vbe is built and paid for by its founder. Today:

If any of that changes, we will say so on this page and next to the post or link it affects.

How we use AI ourselves

vbe is an AI video tool, so we use AI tools in our own work, including for some pictures and drafts we share on social media. When a picture shows the app before it is finished, we label it as a preview.
