Getting Started with WidelAI: Your First 30 Minutes

WidelAI gives you access to top OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude models — all through a single platform. This guide walks you through signing up, choosing a plan, and sending your first prompt.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Head to widelai.com/auth/signup and create an account using your email or Google sign-in. Verification takes less than a minute.

Step 2: Choose a Plan

WidelAI offers three plans:

Starter ($19/month) — 2,000 credits, access to all models, basic support
Pro ($49/month) — 7,000 credits, priority support, team collaboration, advanced analytics
Enterprise (custom) — Unlimited credits, dedicated infrastructure, SLA guarantees

All plans include access to every model on the platform. If you opt for yearly billing, you save 20%.

Tip: Not sure which plan fits? The Starter plan is enough for most individual users. You can always upgrade later — changes take effect immediately with prorated billing.

Step 3: Pick a Model and Start Chatting

Once you're in, head to the chat interface. You can select any model from the model picker — here are some good starting points:

GPT-5.2 — OpenAI's latest flagship. Great for reasoning, writing, and code generation.
GPT-5.2 Codex — Purpose-built for software engineering tasks.
GPT-4o — Fast and capable multimodal model from OpenAI.
Gemini 3.1 Pro — Google's most capable AI model with advanced multimodal understanding.
Gemini 3 Flash — Google's speed-optimized model. Best for quick tasks where latency matters.
Claude Opus 4.6 — Anthropic's most powerful model with enhanced reasoning and 200K context window.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 — Anthropic's balanced model. Fast, accurate, and great for code generation.

Step 4: Understand Credits

Credits are WidelAI's unified currency. Each model has separate input and output credit rates — output tokens cost more because they require more computation to generate. For example, GPT-5.2 costs 0.35 credits per 1K input tokens and 2.80 credits per 1K output tokens, while GPT-5 nano costs just 0.01 and 0.08 respectively.

Lightweight models (GPT-5 mini, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite) use fewer credits
Flagship models (GPT-5.2 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6) use more credits

Your plan credits reset each billing cycle. If you purchase additional credits separately, those roll over and never expire.

You can track your usage in real time from the dashboard.

Step 5: Try These Features

Beyond basic chat, WidelAI includes:

File uploads — Attach images or documents for the model to analyze
Conversation sharing — Generate a shareable link to any conversation
Model switching — Switch models mid-conversation to compare responses
Usage analytics — See exactly how your credits are being spent

What's Next?

Once you're comfortable with the basics:

Try different models for the same prompt to see how they compare
Explore the Models page to browse all available models
If you're on the Pro plan, invite team members and start collaborating

The best way to learn is to experiment. Pick a task you'd normally use ChatGPT for, and try it on WidelAI with a few different models.
