During the private test there is no meter, so you can run the long, messy, "what if I just try it" jobs you normally trim to save cost.</p> <p><strong>How to get in</strong></p> <p>Access is by invite code. Paste a code into the box at newtzilla.com, or open this link, which fills one in for you:</p> <p><a href="https://newtzilla.com/?ref=bff22100eb0babbd" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://newtzilla.com/?ref=bff22100eb0babbd</a></p> <p>A valid code also opens a chat demo right in the browser, so you can try it before you wire anything up.</p> <p><strong>One honest note</strong></p> <p>Charging comes later, for extras like extended context. Early members keep first pick. The test is free so people can break it and tell us what they want.</p> <p><strong>Share yours</strong></p> <p>Already in? Drop your own invite code in the comments so the next person can get a seat. Got a code that has not worked? Say so and someone will point you to a fresh one.</p> ai api productivity
