Each task in the panel adds platform-key credit to your account when you complete and claim it. This page lists the tasks, explains how to claim them, and covers the most common claim problems. ## Before you begin You need a Runtype account that is less than 14 days old. For sign-up steps, see [Creating your account](/user-guide/getting-started/creating-your-account). ## How the panel works The panel is at the top of the **Dashboard** until you have a product, and then it moves under your workspace overview. It shows a progress bar with the credit you've claimed, the credit that is still unclaimed, and the number of days left to claim. Each task row shows what it pays, even before you complete it. A row that you haven't completed shows a button that opens the place where you do the task. After Runtype detects that you completed the task, the row shows **Claim** instead. The following table lists the tasks in the panel: | Task | Credit | How to complete it | | -------------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Verify your email | \$5 | Verify your email address. Runtype adds this starter credit without a claim. The row then reads **Email verified**. | | Generate your first product | \$10 | Click **Generate a product**, and then describe what you want to build. Any product in your account completes the task. | | Run your first agent | \$10 | Click **Go to agents**, and then run a saved agent until it completes. A completed flow run on a record also counts. | | Capture your first eval case | \$5 | Click **Go to evals**, and then add a case to one of your eval suites. | | Connect Runtype to your AI coding tool | \$10 | Click **Connect your assistant**. Connect the Runtype MCP server with browser sign-in, and then make one tool call through it. | | Join our community | \$5 | Click **Join the Discord**, and then join the Runtype Discord server. | | Follow @runtypelabs on X | \$5 | Click **Follow on X**, and then follow the account. | The \$30 in the panel heading counts the first four tasks. The last three tasks pay in addition to that total. Runs in the **Playground** don't complete **Run your first agent**, because the task needs a saved agent or a record. ## Claim a reward To claim the credit for a task that Runtype verifies, follow these steps: 1. On the **Dashboard**, find the task in the onboarding panel. 2. Click the task's button, and then complete the task on the page that opens. 3. Return to the **Dashboard**. The task row shows **Claim**. 4. Click **Claim**. The row shows **Claimed**, and the credit is added to your balance. To claim the credit for **Join our community** or **Follow @runtypelabs on X**, follow these steps: 1. Click **Join the Discord** or **Follow on X**. The site opens in a new tab. 2. Join the server or follow the account. 3. Optional: In the field that appears in the task row, enter your Discord username or X handle. 4. Click **I joined. Claim** or **I followed. Claim**. To check the new balance, open **Settings > Billing** and view the **Credits** card. The credit applies to models and built-in tools that use platform keys. After you claim every task, the panel shrinks to one line that shows the total you claimed. To hide the task list before then, click **Collapse rewards** beside the panel heading. The panel stays collapsed in that browser until you click **Expand rewards**. ## Rewards in an organization In an organization, the panel tracks one set of tasks for the whole organization. Each task pays once per organization, whichever member claims it. The 14 days start when the organization is created. To claim a task, your own Runtype account must also be less than 14 days old. ## Troubleshooting ### The Claim button doesn't appear Runtype checks for the task when the **Dashboard** loads. After you complete the task, return to the **Dashboard** or reload the page. If you click **Claim** and Runtype can't find the work, the claim fails with a message that names the missing step. For example, "Run an agent, or run a flow on a record, first." Complete that step, and then claim again. ### The verification email doesn't arrive If your email address isn't verified, the **Verify your email** row shows **Resend verification email**. Click it, and then open the new email. If Runtype can't send the email, verify your address from your account settings in the sidebar. For more steps, see [Authentication issues](/user-guide/troubleshooting-faq/authentication-issues#email-verification). ### A task shows Contact support to finish this claim The claim started but the credit wasn't added. Contact Runtype support to finish it. Don't claim the task again. ### The panel is gone The panel appears only during the first 14 days after your account or organization was created. After that, you can't claim new rewards, and credit that you already claimed stays in your balance. ## Next steps * [What is the Dashboard?](/user-guide/dashboard/what-is-the-dashboard): Read about the rest of the page, including the **Attention** notices. * [Billing and plans](/user-guide/settings/billing-and-plans): Check your credit balance and add a payment method. * [Connect Runtype to coding agents](/developer-guides/integrations/connect-coding-agents): Connect the Runtype MCP server to your coding tool. * [What are Organizations?](/user-guide/settings/what-are-organizations): Accept an invitation and work with a team.
