We support limited and transparent use of artificial intelligence on Insight Timer. The key is to preserve genuine human creation—you, the teacher, are at the heart of the content. Here's exactly what's allowed and what isn't:
Scripts
You can use AI tools to help with the creative process. Specifically, you're welcome to use AI for brainstorming ideas, outlining your content structure, writing or editing scripts, and refining your words. The critical requirement is that the final narration—the voice that community members hear when they listen to your content—must always be recorded by a real human voice. That's you, or another real person. AI-generated or cloned voices cannot be the primary voice in your content.
Voices & Music
Voice
The main narration in any track you publish must be performed by a real human voice. AI-generated voices and voice-cloned versions of real people are not permitted as the primary narration. This ensures that community members know they're connecting with an authentic human teacher, not a synthetic recreation.
Accessibility exception
If you have a speech disability or condition that affects your ability to record your own voice, we understand. You may use an AI-generated voice as an accommodation. If you do use an AI-generated voice, this must be clearly and prominently disclosed in your track description so community members understand what they're listening to and can make an informed choice about the content.
Background music
AI-generated music is allowed as background accompaniment to a human voice recording. For example, you might use AI-generated music as ambient sound during a guided meditation or yoga session. What's not permitted is creating tracks made up solely of AI-generated music with no human voice or instruction—the human element must be central to the content.
Images
AI-generated images are acceptable for use in your content if they meet our Image Requirements and Technical Specifications and do not contain significant distortions or errors. This means the images should be clear and professional—avoid AI images that have distorted faces, misshapen limbs, or other visual artifacts that would be distracting or lower the quality of the experience for community members.
Helpful tools
Beyond content creation, you can use AI tools to enhance the technical quality of your work. For example, you might use AI for audio enhancement—noise reduction to clean up background noise in your recordings, audio leveling to even out volume throughout a track, or other audio processing tools that improve the listening experience without replacing your human voice or teaching.
What happens next
Our team carefully reviews all content before it's published on the platform. If something doesn't align with these guidelines, we may need to decline it and ask you to revise it. We're keeping an open mind as AI technology evolves and develops, and we're committed to updating this policy over time to support our community and teachers in the best way possible as the landscape changes. Your feedback and questions are welcome as we navigate this together.
