# 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](https://dashboard.inference.coop), 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](https://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.

|
Contribute on
|
|
[Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/inference-cooperative/contribute)
|
|
and the account converts automatically — same login, same dashboard. Any
|
|
unspent guest credit carries over. See

|
|
works.
