## What is Knute?

Knute is a fantasy-sports general manager for your ESPN and Sleeper teams. Connect your league, import your roster, ask questions in chat, review recommendations, and decide how much authority Knute has before any move is made.

What Knute can do:

- Import ESPN and Sleeper leagues, rosters, matchups, scoring settings, transactions, and available players.
- Explain recommendations with the league and roster context behind them.
- Review proposed lineup and roster moves before you confirm them.
- Help manage rankings, team activity, and live fantasy drafts.
- Run supported chat on-device with Apple Intelligence when it is available.

Ordinary product features are free. Third-party cloud-model usage requires usage credit. Consumable credit packs are one-time App Store purchases. Purchased credits are held in your Knute account across devices and never expire. The app shows Apple's localized purchase price separately from the exact model-usage credit before purchase. Existing purchased credits retain their usage value. Model-usage credit is not cash or App Store balance.

Before any of your content can be sent to a third-party AI provider, Knute names the providers, explains what is sent and why, and asks for permission. You can withdraw that permission at any time in Settings without deleting your account. On-device Apple Intelligence can remain available.

Create a Knute account with your email and a password. New accounts must verify their email before connecting a team, using third-party cloud AI, or adding cloud-model credit.

Knute is not affiliated with or endorsed by ESPN, Disney, or Sleeper.

KNUTE PROACTIVE
The optional Knute Proactive subscription provides proactive team-monitoring access for US$9.99 per month in the U.S. Apple's localized price is shown before purchase. It renews automatically unless canceled through your App Store account settings.

No AI usage credit is included. AI usage is charged separately from this subscription and deducted from your credit balance. Existing purchased credits retain their usage value. Team permissions, AI consent, available funding, and your background spending controls remain required; subscribing does not automatically authorize roster changes.
