Your First Project

Projects are the core of Ogadu. Every chat, to-do, and file lives inside a project. Let's create your first one.

Billing Settings

When creating a project, you'll configure two important billing options. Both are permanent and cannot be changed after the project is created.

Billing Type

If you belong to an organization, you'll see a choice:

Option Description
Personal AI usage is charged to your personal credit balance.
Group AI usage is charged to the selected organization's shared credit balance.

If you select Group, a dropdown appears to pick which organization to bill.

Cannot be changed later

Billing type and billing mode are locked once the project is created. Choose carefully.

Billing Mode

This controls who pays when project members use AI features:

Mode Description
Each member pays Each person's own credits are charged for their AI usage. This is the default.
I pay for everyone All AI usage in this project is charged to the project creator's credits.

Budget Limit

You can optionally set a spending cap for the project:

  • Enter a dollar amount (e.g., 50.00) to limit total AI spending in the project.
  • Leave it blank for unlimited spending.
  • This can be changed later in Project Settings.

For more details, see Budget Caps.

What You'll See

After creating your project, you'll be taken to the project page with three tabs:

  1. To Dos (📋) — your task list (starts empty).
  2. Chats (💬) — your conversations (starts empty).
  3. Knowledge Base (📎) — your uploaded files (starts empty).
