Formats
It answers in the right shape
Card
A quick fact or a short answer. Compact, one idea.
Doc
An explanation, a plan, a report. Real headings, a reading measure.
Slides
A talk, one sheet per slide, 16 by 9, large type.
Diagram
A process, a hierarchy, a system. Drawn, labelled, editable.
Page
A landing page or an app screen, laid out as a real page.
It picks the shape from the question. When the answer depends on today, it searches the web first and cites what it found inside the sheet.

How usage is priced
Every dollar of a plan becomes usage balance, and balance rolls over while the plan is active. Each request is billed at the model's real price plus the plan's margin, taken from that balance. Top up any time from $10.00 to $500.00, and it never expires. Web searches are billed the same way, at cost plus margin.
Questions
Things people ask first
- What does an answer cost?
- The model's real price plus the plan's margin. A typical card costs about a fifth of a cent. A long document with a web search behind it, a few cents. Every request shows what it cost.
- Do I need a card to start?
- No. Signing in with Google or Microsoft starts you with $0.25 of usage and 3 boards. Add balance when you want more.
- Do people I share with need an account?
- No. They open the link and draw, write and move things with you. Asking the AI needs an account, so nobody spends your balance by joining.
- Which model answers?
- Whichever is enabled in the catalog, routed through the AI Gateway. Prices follow the model. The catalog syncs from the gateway, so a cheaper or better model can be switched in without a release.
- Can I get my work out?
- Yes, and it is yours. Export any sheet or a selection as PDF, PowerPoint, PNG, HTML or Markdown, or save the whole board to a file and open it again later. A board is a set of documents, not a chat log.
