Friends sharing a room: how paying works, in plain words

splitscreen is free to start. Every account gets free replies each day, so a chat with your friends can begin right away.

When you want the stronger AIs, one friend can pay for the group and everyone else just asks. Under each reply you can see what it cost and who paid. The chat below shows all three.

Imani made this room and invited Joon and Lena. The people and the dinner are made up.

A curated transcript, written by us to show what the product does - not a recording of a session, not a live room, and not real people. The prices are the ordinary rates on what each AI can do.

What Imani is covering todayThe free reply cost nobody anything. The other two came out of Imani’s credit, inside each friend’s daily limit.

Dinner club is at mine on Friday. Six people, and Lena cannot have nuts. What do we cook?

JJoon

GPT, what can we cook for six people in under an hour? No nuts.

ChatGPT · GPT-6 Luna

A big tray of baked pasta with tomatoes and mozzarella, a green salad, and garlic bread. It takes about 45 minutes, most of it in the oven, and none of it has nuts.

Check the pesto if you use any. Shop-bought pesto often has pine nuts.

Claude, can you turn that into a shopping list for six, and a plan so everything is ready at the same time?

Claude · Sonnet 5.5

Shopping list

  • 1kg pasta, 2 jars of passata, 400g mozzarella, basil
  • Salad leaves, cucumber, lemon
  • 2 baguettes, garlic, butter

The plan

  • 6:00 pasta in the oven
  • 6:30 make the salad, butter the bread
  • 6:45 bread in for 10 minutes
  • 7:00 everyone eats at the same moment

JJoon

Claude, and a dessert that does not need the oven? It will be busy.

Claude · Sonnet 5.5

Make it a no-bake lemon cream in glasses: whipped cream, lemon curd and crushed biscuits, layered. It takes 15 minutes, sits in the fridge while you eat, and nobody needs the oven.

Use biscuits you have checked for nuts.

Perfect. I am covering the AI this time. Somebody else gets the next one. See you Friday!

Free replies every day

Everyone with an account gets free replies each day, on the fast AIs. Joon’s first question in this chat was one of them.

One friend can pay for the group

Imani covered the next two. To do that, a friend buys some credit or joins Squad, then sets a daily limit for each person. Joon and Lena needed nothing of their own.

You always see the cost

A small receipt sits under every reply. Free ones say Free. Covered ones say who covered. Nothing is hidden.

Before you start a room

Make a room, invite your friends, and start with the free replies. Add credit later if you want the stronger AIs or want to pay for the group. The demo room is a longer chat if you want one first, and pricing has the details.
