# The $500 taste test

**Short answer:** The taste test is $500 for 24 hours of chat with the private model, chat only, and the full $500 is credited toward setup if you join.

## What the $500 buys

Twenty-four hours of chat with the private model, so you can judge it on your own questions before you apply. The 24 hours start when your payment settles and end exactly 24 hours later. It is chat only: you talk with the model in a chat screen. It is for adults only (18+), and anything involving minors is blocked, logged and reported.

## What it does not include

No images and no video, because image and video work is for members only. No member account, no email and calendar agent, and no cloud account of your own: those come with a full setup. A taste test is also not one of the five places a week. Places are by application.

## How to buy it

Use the taste test button in the pricing section of the home page. The taste test is paid in bitcoin or Lightning, after you sign in with Google on the member app. Until that checkout opens, the button takes a request instead: your name and email, nothing charged, and we email you when you can pay. Setup itself is never paid that way: setup is paid by wire.

## How the $500 comes off setup

If you join, the $500 is credited against your setup price, matched by the email you bought the taste test with. Setup starts at $10,000 and rises 10% with each place sold, and the price never resets, so the sooner you join the less it costs. Dues are $48,000 a year up front, or $4,800 a month, plus cloud compute at cost.

## What to bring to it

Bring the questions your current tools refuse or hedge on, a long document you would not paste into a public chatbot, and one real task from your week. Judge the answers, not a demo. If it is not what you want, you have spent $500 and 24 hours, not a setup.
