Understanding Your Round Table AI Allowance
A plain-language guide to the usage meter that keeps your monthly plan predictable.

Round Table AI gives you one simple usage meter—even though each AI provider charges us in slightly different ways. Instead of making you juggle four sets of prices, we translate everything into what we call platform tokens. Think of them as “AI minutes” tied to your plan.
What you actually see
- A friendly progress ring on the dashboard that shows how much of your monthly allowance you’ve used.
- Heads-up alerts when you’re getting close, so you’re never surprised by a renewal.
- Daily “pulse” tips that suggest using @secretary or dismissing unused agents if you’re trying to stretch your plan.
Behind the scenes (no calculator needed)
We quietly handle the messy math between Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and Google. Whether you’re jamming with Claude or experimenting with Grok, the meter ticks at the same steady pace. That means:
- You can mix and match models without worrying which one is “cheaper.”
- Budgeting stays predictable for solo creators and side hustles alike.
- When we add new AI partners, they instantly respect the allowance you already pay for.
Tips for staying on track
- Invite only who you need. Chatting with
@claudealone uses less than a full panel. - Call
@secretary. Recaps mean you don’t have to resend long context blocks. - Archive finished conversations. It keeps your workspace organized and reduces accidental follow-ups.
The short version? Enjoy the brainstorming power of multiple AI voices while we keep the billing math as boring—and transparent—as possible.
