Is this for your students?

Free chat covers questions. It stops where students start building.

Since August 2026, free AI chat is unlimited. The wall stands somewhere else: coding agents, API keys, long documents, heavy days. Which students hit it depends on what they study, not on how curious they are.

How much AI a day, by field

Tokens per student per day, rough orders of magnitude

Design, architecture and media hit the wall hardest of all, on images and video rather than text; that is not in our first version. Estimates from our October 2026 field checks and planning model; plans and limits change often.

Where none of this is true yet, the first step is not compute but showing what is possible: a workshop, a few worked examples, a class that tries a coding agent once. We are happy to help with that too.

An assistant for the whole school, without a plan per person.

Free plans run out fast, and a paid plan for every student is out of reach. Tokens for Good gives your people free AI on open models, within a monthly budget, with no seats to buy. Through Claude or ChatGPT it takes on the heavy text work, so the plan you have lasts longer.

  • Questions and writing

    Help with essays, homework and revision: explaining, giving feedback on a draft, answering questions.

  • Translating and summarising

    Letters for parents in their own language, long texts made short, piles of answers sorted. Text only, for now.

  • Open models

    It runs on open-source AI models, not on a paid plan, so there are no seats to buy.

  • Free

    No price for schools and causes. Each one gets a free monthly budget, with no account per student to pay for.

  • In the tools you already use

    With an API key, a donated computer writes the answer in any tool that takes one. Through Claude or ChatGPT, heavy text work comes to us, so your own plan lasts longer. How to connect.

  • Careful with privacy

    The donor’s app never shows what is asked. On the open tier, send only information that is not sensitive.

For the people who can’t pay for it.

We start with a few schools and foundations, close to home, and grow from there.

  • A young student working on a laptop at school

    Students

    Help with their hardest work, through the tools their school sets up.

  • A tutor and a student laughing over their work

    Teachers

    An assistant for the whole class, not only for those who can pay.

  • A mentor helping a student with her laptop outdoors

    Small causes

    Foundations and teams who need AI they could not budget for.

Four steps, in the tools you already use.

  1. Step 1

    Apply

    Join the waitlist and tell us who you are and what you want AI for. When we launch, we invite you to create an account.

  2. Step 2

    We review

    A person reads every application. The first causes are few, close to home and chosen with care, so places are limited at the start.

  3. Step 3

    You get access

    A free monthly budget, used through the Claude or ChatGPT connector, or with an API key.

  4. Step 4

    Your people ask

    The work goes to a donated computer running an open model, and the answer comes back in the tool they used.

The full route, from both sides

We never keep what a student asks.

A donor lends the computer, and the app never shows them the questions. We are open about the rest: today the text is processed in plain form on that computer, so what you send should match the tier you are on.

Safety and privacy, in full
  • The app never shows donors the questions. Only that their computer is helping. Their dashboard shows which causes.
  • Students never see whose computer answered. To them it is simply their school’s AI.
  • We never store or log what is asked or answered. We keep how much was used, to count against your budget.
  • Two tiers, so sensitive work goes to the right place. Text is processed in plain form on the donor’s computer today. On the open tier any donor can answer, so send only non-sensitive information. More sensitive work goes to the trusted tier: donors under contract and a data processing agreement.
  • Stronger isolation, being built now. An extra layer to keep what students ask private on the donor’s computer.

Tell us who your people are.

Applying takes a few minutes in the portal. It helps decide where the first compute goes.

  • Free for schools and causes.
  • We start with a few, close to home.
  • A person reviews every application.

What the application asks

  1. Your school or causeIts name, an email address and a password for your account.
  2. A little about youYour KvK number, website, what you do and how you plan to use AI. Optional, but it helps us review faster.
  3. One promiseThat you send only non-sensitive information unless you are on the trusted tier.
