FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I test a salary negotiation email?

Paste your raise request and a panel of decision-maker personas (a frugal HR director, your manager, a skeptical peer) reacts: whether your ask reads as strong or entitled, the risky lines, and what earns the yes.

Can AI help me ask for a raise?

Village doesn't just write the email; it shows how the people who approve your raise would react to it, so you can fix tone and framing before a high-stakes conversation.

Is it free?

Yes, you can try Village for free. A free run shows you how your raise request lands; deeper features and more audiences come with a paid plan.
