FAQs

FAQs

Everything you need to know.

Everything you need to know.

How does MATE work?

You enter your prompt. MATE uses AI to write a script for your request in the background and executes it right away. This way MATE runs tasks for you.

How does the trial work?

It's simple. Just get (purchase) a license. You won't get charged until the end of the trial period.

If you like MATE, you don't have to do anything. It just keeps running after the trial.

If you don't like it, you can just cancel from within the plugin (under Settings) or with this link: https://app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders.

Where do I find MATE in Illustrator after installation?

In Adobe speech MATE is technically an "extension", not a plugin.

You find it here in the main menu: Window > Extensions > MATE

Here is a tutorial how to install it: https://www.omata.io/omata-plugin/docs/install

What are the risks?

Due to ChatGPT's immense popularity, server response may sometimes be slow or unavailable. Consequently, Illustrator may experience crashes. ChatGPT-generated responses have the potential to modify or remove existing artwork in open documents and, although unlikely, could delete files. We make every effort to prevent such incidents, but caution is advised.

How do I make it work?

Step 1
Buy a license for MATE

I get „Sorry, something went wrong“. What do I need to do?

You did not add a payment method to your OpenAI account. Please visit your account page and add your credit card.

Also, you will need to deposit at least $5 so that OpenAI activates your account. MATE needs to talk to your account to work.

Please check our guide on how to add a payment method to your account: We have written a quick guide about how to get an API key.
