Community FAQ
Hector AI FAQ
Hector AI is offered exclusively as a SaaS platform and does not currently support self-hosting. All data processing and optimization algorithms run on their cloud infrastructure, which means you cannot deploy or manage Hector AI on your own servers.
Verified community insight from RedditHector AI requires an active internet connection to access its cloud-based services and update ad campaign data in real time. There is no offline mode or local caching available, as optimization relies on continuous data syncing with Amazon Ads APIs.
Verified community insight from Hacker NewsCampaign data managed via Hector AI remains the property of the user, but is stored and processed on Hector AI's cloud servers. The platform complies with standard data privacy regulations but does not currently offer on-premise data storage or encryption keys controlled by the customer.

Additionally, Hector AI imposes its own API usage limits depending on the subscription tier, which can affect the frequency of automated optimizations and data syncs.

The migration effort can vary based on the complexity of existing campaigns.
