## Questions

**Do I need a card to start?**
No. The $10 in welcome credits needs no card. You add a card only when you buy more credits.

**What happens when credits run out?**
A turn that already started can finish. New agent turns, terminals and previews stop until you add credits. Your messages, files, history and settings stay available.

**Do I need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription?**
No. You can bring one, or pay for AI from workspace credits.

**Is there a subscription or a contract?**
No. You buy credits when you need them.
