How it works

  1. Share your invite link — Go to Settings > Share and copy your personal invite link, or copy the ready-to-send message.

  2. They sign up — Your friend creates an account using your link. Their email appears in your invite list with a "Signed up — needs AI action" status.

  3. They complete an AI action — They use any AI feature for the first time, such as:

  4. Starting a chat with AI to create a Collection

  5. Uploading files for AI analysis

  6. Asking a question about a Collection

  7. You earn credits — Once your friend completes an AI action, credits are added to your chosen workspace.

Where to find it

Go to Settings > Share (also labeled "Share with a friend" in the Settings sidebar).

Tracking your invites

The Your Invites section on the Share page shows each person you've referred:

Status

Meaning

Signed up — needs AI action

Your friend created an account but hasn't used an AI feature yet

Activated

Your friend completed an AI action and you earned credits

Choosing which workspace receives credits

If you belong to multiple workspaces, you can choose which one receives your referral credits from the "Referral credits go to" dropdown on the Share page. Changes apply to future rewards only.

Credit details

  • The number of credits per referral and the expiry period are shown on the Share page.

  • Referral credits expire after a set number of days from when they are earned.

  • Referral credits are consumed after Included credits are used up, but before On-demand charges apply.

  • See Settings > Usage to view your credit balance and transaction history.
