Equity Toolkit

Ask

A second pair of eyes on your equity.

Educational chat about ISOs, NSOs, RSUs, AMT, lock-ups, tender offers, and the rest of equity comp. Bring your own Google AI Studio key. Google offers a free tier with rate limits; paid billing is only needed for higher limits or paid-tier privacy. Your key, your conversation, and any plan document you upload stay in your browser and travel only to Google.

Bring your own key

Paste your Google AI key.

The Ask tab calls Google’s Gemini API directly from your browser using a key you mint at Google AI Studio. Google offers a free tier with rate limits; paid billing is only needed for higher limits or paid-tier privacy. The key stays on your device. There is no backend, no logged account, and no chat log on my side.

How do I get a key?
  1. Go to aistudio.google.com/app/apikey and sign in with a Google account.
  2. Click Create API key, pick a project (or let Google make one), and copy the value. It starts with AIza.
  3. Paste it into the field above. Google’s free tier works without billing setup but enforces per-minute and daily request limits. Paid billing is only needed if you want higher limits or the paid-tier privacy posture (Google does not train on paid-tier prompts).
  • Your key: stays in this browser. I never see it.
  • Your messages: go straight from your browser to Google. I don’t log them.
  • Your plan document: if you upload one, it stays in this tab’s memory and travels with the request to Google. Closing the tab clears it.
  • Free-tier data use: Google may use free-tier prompts and responses to improve their models. Paid Gemini API tiers don’t. If your prompts contain anything sensitive, upgrade your billing in AI Studio or skip the Ask tab.

Third-party AI notice

Google Gemini is a third-party AI provider. Some companies prohibit sending plan documents, grant agreements, or compensation data to outside AI services, and free-tier Gemini may use prompts to improve their models. Check your company’s policy before using the Ask tab with anything that could be confidential. When in doubt, leave the upload empty and ask only generic questions.
