Guest access

Any member can give a friend guest access to the co-op: $2 of AI usage for 60 days, spent in the chat and the API. It doesn't come out of your own balance. You can send it once every 30 days, and an address can receive it only once.

How to send guest access

On your dashboard, open the Guests card, enter your friend's email address (name optional), and click Send invite. There's no approval step: the account is provisioned right away, and your friend gets an invitation email from the co-op, naming you, with a link to set up their account. Setting it up takes about a minute.

New guests show as Invited — awaiting setup until they accept it. The card also lists the guests you've sent.

What your guest gets

• $2 of credit for the chat and the API — a hard cap: usage stops when it's spent.
• Their own dashboard at dashboard.inference.coop showing what's left.
• The weekly newsletter and these public docs.

Guest access is not membership — no Matrix, governance forum, or vote.

When it ends

When the $2 is spent or the 60 days are up, whichever comes first, your friend gets an email saying so. Access stops; the account and its data are kept — and a guest can end it early with the Cancel guest access link on their dashboard, returning any unspent credit to the co-op.

Becoming a member

Contribute on Open Collective and the account converts automatically — same login, same dashboard. Any unspent guest credit carries over. See Become a member for how membership works.
